The 4-Max Scout - With Andrew Demko 

you know you're gunna come back for the natchez bowie, and after that you're coming back for the great sword

"For now..." Famous last words. Lol.

I feel the mindset

For that price I might be a counterfeit Amazon has counterfeits too

Love it, thanks Andrew.

Awesome 👍

@Walker Derick That might just be the reaction between the oils on your skin and the stainless steel... that's normally what causes "metallic" smells... metal itself has no odor. It's nothing to worry about... there's far more nickel and chromium (both toxic on their own) in food-grade stainless steels. The heavy metal cations do not leave the alloy, so they remain in a non-toxic form.

@Walker Derick wipe the blade in some clay. that should take care of the smell :)

@David P. The Medfords are beautiful, love them. But with so much money in a knife, most will never do more than open mail as the risk not scratching it. That is why I have never bought one.

AD10 and 15 and 4 Max and Code 4 too, all this week !

We're glad you agree.

Agreed same here. That’s why I prefer the black talon 2 over the spyderco matriarch 2 for example. I like durability and quality. I don’t like anything that feels too lightweight and cheap. That’s just me 😊

Thanks for the Comment Bill, we're pretty excited about this one.

Had? I still have mine and I will an ever sell it.

@@csknives would love to have the 4 MAX style scales on one of my AD-10s.

Me too! And the AD 15 and Code 4 too! I have them now, only have to buy them once, mine for life!

Had that addiction for 30 years now!

That might be the perfect trio.

It's up. www.coldsteel.com/new-cold-steel-products.html

Hoping to see the Rajah 1 make a comeback.

Just skip the AD10XXL, nobody with an XXL wouldn't be able to do the same job with an XXXL.

I think the blade length of 4 Max is just about perfect for any cutting tasks😂😂

@@vybtom1 I know that, you know that, and most people know that, but I still wanna see it as a bigger knife because it would be cool XD

The A in aus10a stands for annealed this is soft steel many manufacturers offer a better steel at the same or lower price

Love the innovation, and the direction Cold Steel is heading!

A blade finger choil allows the handle to facilitate your hold on the actual blade the way a lanyard facilitates your hold on the handle. Its not necessary or helpful on a fixed blade that is big enough but its super nice on any folding knife. (maybe less necessary on a triad lock knife)

@@laserbrain7774 Seems that my comment was deleted . There was a link in it. Well I'll paste a few words of it then: Arctic survival guru, the legendary Mors Kochanski, in a winter camping symposium in Duluth, MN, called a choil on a knife “a waste of space…that’s a thing I despise greatly…” (See the whole presentation.) In his book “The Tactical Knife,” author and cutlery expert James Morgan Ayres comments: “I see the choil as a waste of a valuable edge. The edge in front of the guard is where you can bring the most pressure to bear to cut resistant materials, and it is useful for press cuts, shear cuts, and notching. The edge an inch or so in front of the guard requires about four times as much force for a given cut. “Some choils, due to their design, can get snagged and hung up while cutting soft materials, which could be a bad thing.” (The Tactical Knife, James Morgan Ayres, page 72)

@@laserbrain7774 I like for example the ESEE-6 3D , but the choil I could live without. Same for the Becker BK5 which is discontinued. It has a huge choil. Why putting the finger on the relative thin steel blade when you have a comfortable handle to exert power with. Pull the edge back close near the handle, that's my preference. When there's a choil , you're forced to use it. When trying to cut things, the material to be cut always gets into the choil. Very annoying. So the use of that very choil is a must. Not cool in my opinion.

@@Ve-suvius Yeah, I stated in my first post that on fixed blades especially, a choil is not necessary or even helpful. Its on a folding knife where its nice, especially a small one.

@@laserbrain7774 Like on the CS Tuff Lite? I like that one a lot.. Though nowadays being a 54 mellowed down person( not really), I carry a 9mm box cutter. It does all I need on the job.

They're available now!

what do you mean right country/time?

James Utakamonapukawahasa I think there were discussions which version of the 4-MAX is the preferable: "Made in USA", or "Made in Italy". If I remember correctly, there was a preference for "Made in Italy". I don't have an opinion in regards to this topic. I'm German and very happy with the quality of "Made in Taiwan" and I love AUS-10 😘.

Ummm you're screwed lol

If I’m not mistaken, the latter is in 8cr13mov. Just my two cents, I’d go with the Scout. In my limited knife experience, Aus10a steel should hold an edge longer than 8cr. Cheers, stranger. :)

@@josemariaalipio449 Thank you, I shall do just that.

No worries man. Have fun with your collection. :)

YES !!!!

And a tanto too !

Cold steel doesn't make gay knifes

@@speakeasydoorman4966 well said

don0giorgio Can't tell you what is CS "target" HRC, they only know. The knives in AUS-10 (10A) tested between HRC 59-61.

@@BernhardRottweiler Hey man! Thanks for the info. Do you remember by any chance who tested them? And name of the production companie model?

don0giorgio Have a look at this video, skip to minute 5 for the voyagers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5CH86mBHb2c.html If you are a "steel-aficionado", the CTS-XHP is a great steel and no longer used by "Cold Steel". Those CS knives might become classics in the future.

That would be 😎

@@csknives that would be super kool 👍👍👍

Bud The Cyborg hell nah man I can just see myself losing a finger haha

Thanks so much Michael, we'll pass this along.

5 MAX !

Coming!

@@csknives Yay!

they aren't mall ninja enough?
