I also have extensive use on both of those Cold Steel knives. I think you would really enjoy the SRK in San Mai with edge retention about 60-70% of 3V and S35vn, with a toughness closer to 3V and more corrosion resistant than both...and it’s hollow ground geometry makes it a better slicer.

You should try 14c28n. Thats my favorite it's tougher then both. Ive never found corrosin to be a problem for me. Im more a fisherman and swimmer not a diver but i lived at DaytonaBeach for 6years on the water. I never had a problem with rusting other then surface on Aus8 and 8cr. My more expensive knives never had a spot. Im not one for maintenance other then wiping down. I wonder what under that rubber grip looks like? Only that brass eye holds the grip on. Just a fyi.

I just gave you your 400th sub! I've enjoyed the videos I've watched of yours.

Fyi. Its only a $5 upcharge for double edged blade

Very informative. 3v is one of my personal favorite Steels. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

Great review, esp. the cats! 😂

Thanks for the video. I just found your channel and hit the subscribe button! Keep them coming! Greetings from the heart of Cajun country Louisiana-USA.

Awesome blade!😊

isn't 3v stainless steel? it should be good for salt water

I only have one Cobratec and it was not right so returned to Cobratec and verdict still out I thought would have back by now and I still waiting

Looking forward to seeing it cleaned. I'm thinking of getting one of those!

Don't**

Not bad for a non stainless steel, some WD-40 and extra fine sandpaper and that'll come right off

Just out of curiosity: why would you put a 3v blade in the ocean? Is it just for testing or demonstration purposes? Because I wouldn't think of 3v as a salt water steel.

It's hard to beat the CS SRK in CPM3V, great knife at a great value. I also suggest the Recon Scout in CPM3V as well, these blades are radical.

It’s pretty thick right out to the tip itself compared to many knives that size

I have that knife. Also the handles looks blocky and uncomfortable, but they actually feel really good.

Looks like that’s not been a safe queen lol

I recently bought an Eafengrow . I think that’s one heckuva value, good quality, knives, ands sheaths and great pricing.

But that’s a knife that somebody like Daniel Boone would’ve loved to have had 150 years ago lol

Why would you put a perfect knife in the ocean?

Gerber has horrible heat treatment so regardless of what gerber you get it’s junk.

Doesn’t actually show it cleaned up, you were the annoying guy on the boat weren’t you?

You have to love the srk

Easy solution to the annoying belt loop-just get a nylon strap or sling, put the sheath on it and wear it across your body at the hip like a cross draw shoulder bag. That’s how I plan on wearing it. Also SK-5 steel is just a lower carbon steel than 1095, basically 1075 with maybe some small differences. SK-5 is an Asian saw steel used in Japan and Asia for saws and garden tools, etc. it’s a lot tougher than 1095 but has a bit less edge holding, which is fine for a chopper tool. These are great one tool options. I’m looking forward to buying one!

Buys a cheap knife… Receives a cheap knife… *suprised pikachu*

Made in Taiwan, aka China’s cousin

mine is even. also did they remove that coating?

And it doesn’t matter

Cold steels quality control is so BAD! Did you get it from Amazon? All my Amazon cold steels had something wrong with them

Enjoy!

I’ve carried one of those for years.

I kinda want one now

The coat hanger hack is genius !!!!!!!!!

Nice, but lash out on the serrated version. That's the one to EDC !

This is so a great blade..i have putted mine through hard work and it can do it all.. I have the sabergrinded too..much stronger then the hollow grinded one.. I hear many people say this Bowie is only for fighting and that is not true. I a Survival situation this blade do good work too. Although the design is indeed in the first place with fighting in mind.. Beautyful knife!

Just bought one today, waiting for delivery now. Loved the cats

You could buy some Pull the Dot straps for your scout carry. That’s what I did for my Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie.

VERY big hands man! You make that blade look like it's barely 5 inches long lol! I've been giving that very knife some thought. Just got the clever girl and really like it. I like kukri's too (and Undertaker Bowie's) so think I might just have to give that one a try! Thnx for the head up on that belt clip btw...

Beautiful

So how did you mount the sheath? The knife is amazing but I wish they would have given not carrying options with the sheath.

Super cuchillo te felicito por la compra 👍

Very nice handle

Damn fine!

VERY NICE ❤!!!

Thats a good idea!
