Mr. Thompson, I purchased two of them. They are beyond reproach. Thank you for staying with us. I've collected your blades since the inception of Cold Steel in 1980 when I was 25 years old. My heartfelt thanks, sir!
I've always liked the Spartan. The overall look of it open has great shape and style. A true one of a kind that no other knife manufacturers are even trying to copy. The CS serrations pattern is absolutely the best serrations on a knife I've ever seen! The s35vn makes it worth every penny! Great job CS! I'll be buying (hopefully winning) this one for sure.
I met Mr. Thompson at one of the first SHOT shows he had a booth in. I was a young sales rep, and he was the new guy ticking off all the established knife industry with his very vocal,well documented challenges on durability and bang for your buck. How they all howled! The "Proof" hurt, and successfully established a great source of tough, practical SHARP stuff, in so many models, and always at an amazing price point! A well-worn and much traveled Vaquero Grande still partners with my 640 S&W for EDC, and many more Cold Steel offerings can be found around our deep swamp homestead. Hats off to the man for seeing a need and so capably filling it.
The Spartan is my favorite Cold Steel folder blade. I have an exceptional collection, and I love them all. However, the Spartan is my all-time favorite folder.
I own the regular spartan but my absolute favorite knife and one that I carry daily is the full serrated black talon 2 that thing is an absolute monster of a knife I like all the cold steel products have been a customer of cold steel since the late 90's
Just purchased 4 of these bad boys. I want my people to have this massive knife to bring to the knife fight. Reminds me of a combat style in a folding knife. Not many knives can achieve this.
Lynn Thompson is a legend! I hated to see his line go to a sportsman type distributor…but I understand… sometimes you just gotta walk away. Hope we see more of his vids… in future.
Mine is in the mail, and should be here within the week! This will be my fourth (Spartan) in my collection! I totally love Cold Steel Folding Knives, especially the Large & XL ones! 🔪
Thank you for the time you put into these great ColdSteel videos. And much love 🖤 to the ColdSteel family 🤘⚔️🤘That Spartan is one bad ass looking unit 👌😍 hope all is🙏 well StickMan! ✌️✌️
Love my Spartan. Used it as a makeshift machete during a mountain rescue once while a guy was intoxicated about to fall 100 feet and it did not let me down. Cut through thick vines, briars, and saplings easy.
Never met a Cold Steel blade that I didn't love. It's about 30 years now! I've always wanted a smaller Kukri about the size of this Sparta. Now looks like a good time.
I bought this is many other Cold Steel knives. The Lynn Thompson Signature Series offerings are among my favorites. Though the serrations are a bit tiny, they work and are maintainable (I use the Lansky Cold Steel Pocket Sharpener, which is inexpensive and available on Amazon).
The spartan is one of my favorites, works extra hard in an efficient way, whether it's opening envelopes or chopping down four inch thick trees, with little effort. The serrated signature one looks wicked and nightmarish. That would be an awesome addition to any collection.
Copied and sent via messenger, I really want one of those, I was impressed by the cutting power of the knife and the strength of the G10. That knife should last a lifetime
Love the design of this knife, particularly the "enclosed" grip. Lynn did a top job on this one !!! Liked, shared and Subscribed, similarly to the famous Patek Philippe slogan reads “You never really own a Lynn Thompson Signature Spartan Knife. You simply look after it for the next generation." It would be a dream of mine to "look after" one if these beautiful knvives and hand it down to my sons....
Love the Spartan. Got the 1st gen. It's my edc ever since. Flat grind and S35VN sounds cool. You guys should include a link to the shop; people are lazy . .
Spartan is a great knife I have one of the original models in aus8 it’s probably close to 10 years old and it’s still works perfect and it’s been put through hell , the signature series Spartan is awesome, great video
Another cool knife, the only complain about Cold Steel I have is that those knives are hard to find in Canada, and whatever knife I put on in my cart on Cold Steel web site - it says cannot be shipped in your location. So I build up my wish list : )
I don't have much luck when it comes to winning things but I sure hope I win this great knife!! Great job on this video keep up the great work you are doing!
I recently purchased a CS Spartan and I gotta say it's probably one of the most underrated knives out there. Love how it feels in my hand and what a bad ass blade design it is!. I'd love to hold a Lynn's signature series version, even more badass! 😂
