cyclist01222 Then came the day of Lynn Thompson's way once CTS-XHP was minted, when the fat man said as he chopped a boar's head "Special Projects must be printed!"

Jacob Summer How about just taking a shit and moving on with your life?

Why don't you show us. Move on with your life. Say, "Aye, Sir." Now go away.

I think I just found the stupidest person in the world..... Yikes dude

PK withBlades He's allowed an opinion.

PK withBlades Don't tell me: you looked in the mirror?

Well I'm sorry, but how exactly can one make the claim that Cold Steel is the best knife manufacturer in the world? Saying that about ANY manufacturer is ridiculous because there's no objective basis for the claim. And not to mention the fact that cold steel is not even in the same WORLD in terms of quality as manufacturers like ZT, spyderco, CRK, Hinderer, and Rockstead, to name a few.

PK withBlades Cold Steel was always in the same league as any other major manufacturer in terms of build quality. They've had the Tri-Ad lock now for many years, which is peerless in the folding knife world. Have you even handled a knife like the American Lawman? (just an example). Most other folders feel flimsy and weak compared. The only realistic criticism of Cold Steel was that they used medium to low quality steels, whereas Spyderco and Benchmade (to name their major competitors) used a wide variety of steels, many of them top-end. That is now changing rapidly with their use of high end Carpenter- and CPM steels. There is now literally no folder than can beat a Recon 1, a Code Four, an American Lawman (to name just a few) in any meaningful way. Even ZT, which is considered higher-end than Cold Steel, uses liner- and framelocks, which simply have to take a back seat against the Tri-Ad lock (I own 2 ZT's). Elmax is an awesome steel but so is XHP. There is no arguing taste. I own an XM-18 3.5", and I love the knife. But objectively it's not a better knife than an American Lawman in XHP, which is a quarter of the price. And Hinderer is not really a manufacturer, his knives are semi-customs. I stopped buying CRKT years ago. They were mostly rubbish, cheaply made though sometimes well-designed. I have no experience with Rockstead but I do know they're hideously expensive, a different market segment from what we're talking about. I owned a Sebenza was, really tried to see what all the fuss was about, sold it as the overpriced hyper-up folder that it is. I own a Strider SMG, whichalso is not a very good folder but I just love the design. Overpriced as well. Compare Cold Steel to Spyderco, Benchmade, Emerson, Kershaw, SOG, CRKT, even ZT, any others whose knives are made in factories, mass-produced. In most if not all objective ways, CS wins. I'll never stop buying Spydercos, but that's because I love their designs. For dependability, reliability, strength and now steel, It's CS. Just my two cents worth. ;)

Hunter here as well!

Ben Hodge Third here all though I rarely use fancier knives for skinning and what not.

Yup hunter here as well. I mainly use a Canadian belt knife for skinning whitetails, an hogs.

Yup, I go for the knife that is cleanest and sharp.

Ben Hodge nutnfancy Another hunter here too. The other ppl "t" just squawk louder. Hunters have a tendency to be a little quieter. I think there's quite a few hunter in on the project.

You went there, hahaha dude youre too funny

***** LOL!

Big Bear LOL Thanks man! I didn't think anybody would see it.

briargoatkilla HAHAHAHA

He's got my vote!

Tv salesman you mean

I run a Surefire x300 ultra on my glock 41, and I was considering a TLR-3 but the spread pattern on the x300 ultra is much more consistent spread pattern of light and I've run it in low light classes with no grief whatsoever. Can't say enough good things about the x300 ultra. Good luck.

Matthew Garfinkel thanks! My p320c needs a light. I'll save up for the x300 ultra

indeed, it is the grandfather of modern knives...

Johnn Schroeder Yep just look up "Moonscape" adventure with *****

EDC1911 nevermind, i think it's reflecting the sun

EDC1911 It's a new product from 3M called Fire Board! Na... only kidding.

EDC1911 i saw it to i think he may have hit a staple

EDC1911 Gotta be a staple. Or nutn just split the fabric of space and time with his new blade!

***** lol, but i think it was reflecting the moon or the sun at twilight off the polished blade..it happens a few more times too

TheTones1973 £10? That doesn't seem so bad. Too bad you'd not be able to carry it in public without a government accepted "good reason" which kind of beats the point of a pocket knife being carried in anticipation of an unpredicted need arising.

***** Not sure. Compared to the Glock 26, smaller and lighter with same round count for less money--sounds like more research is warranted. Glock wins on track record, SCCY wins on... everything else? I guess since DAO on every shot, SCCY is "worse" for accuracy vs. G26. Is the SCCY's extra 5 ounces worth the "upgrade" for an extra 3 rounds over the Kel-Tec PF-9? PF-9 is single stack, too--so thinner and smaller, too. Debatable, not sure which Nutn would pick.

yeah the most important factor for me is reliability, and i usually like to take nutn's word for whether or not a pistol is reliable but he has no content on this one in particular, probably going to lean towards the g26 at this point, i prefer the high mag and reliability over the kel tec pf9's thin and lightness.

***** thanks for the input bro!

I'm going through the same decision so thinking about it myself
