One thing I'll say about Cold Steel knives, is that in my experience, no matter the steel, they seem to do a great heat treat. I've done things with them that nobody should ever do with a knife, and I've never broken one. A better steel holds an edge better, but none of them have ever broke on me.
I've been considering this knife to face off against my old Ka-Bar, but I'm also no fan of hollow grinds. FYI, the Bowie version I have is flat ground.
Have you seen the video from DBK - Dutch Bushscraft Knives about this knife? They did various tests to see how stable it was. All in all, the knife performed well, but the handle fell off. 🙂
🔥🔥 Mines came with no COLD STEEL branding on the handle like this one. Got me looking at it side ways lol.. I was wondering if you new why some do some don’t
@@peterbiltknifeguy I have a ka-bar, buck 119, a custom 01 trailmaster, and some others. I’m just trying to find that do all survival, bush, hunting, and tactical knife. You know, one with a decent sheath, good enough steel, at a sub $100 price.
I was thoroughly impressed with that batoning process and the following paper cutting test. Well done. D2 steel held up really well. I’ve owned and then sold various Kabar USMC versions over the years. Time to consider the CS D2 Leatherneck SF version. Thanks a bunch!
Another entertaining educational fun video! That’s awesome still a cutter that’s a great knife. Thank You 🙏 for another really enjoyable video THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Now you need to get some hardcore oak with knots. Haha. The Kabar D2 Extreme will take this all day. Lol. If it bent like that it won’t do what both the USMC and D2 Extreme will. I like the design of the leatherneck but Kabar did it better.
Frank I knew you'd be here brother lol. I was curious what you'd have to say. I love my Kabars too but I think this Cold Steel is pretty good. The tang looks way better, but I'm not huge on hollow grinds. I might have to get one of these. Your Kabar D2 extreme looks nicer tho for sure, I'd prolly rather have that
Take this however you want, but I started my collection of this series with the larger Lynn Thompson knife and received it with a loose guard right out of the box. Its now been regulated to heavy-duty letter opening! 😢
Bam bam stick....LOL....Well, she survived with just a few chips so she is a winner....Nice and good testing there Joe X....LOL....Now, back to getting some love on the knife with a spa treatment to get that girl looking and feeling good again...Good stuff...
