What you said about dog attacks is spot on I've been carrying a blade since I was a kid and I've had more run ins with dogs late at night walking home than people.

I have MANY Cold Steel knives and these TAC series are indeed AMAZING!!!

The CT2 is a great boot knife. I have worn it for hours on my 6-inch leather boot. Comfortable and light. The clip is sturdy and very secure on my boot. I highly recommend trying it. Cheers

Your Channel is Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. I have a Counter Tac 2 on its way. Unfortunately MD doesn’t allow daggers and Double edged Blades, well that’s not going to stop me from carrying a Small one for SD. I live in a wooded neighborhood and I work on ETL Right of ways. There is no telling what I’ll run into out there, so it’s always nice to be prepared.

Finally found a cure for my blade addiction. Got old, on a small fixed income and can rarely afford any. Even inexpensive ones. I like Cold Steel .

I have them both. Mine are old so they're both made in Japan. Superb craftsmanship and sharp as they could possibly be. Wouldn't be fun to be stabbed with these.

Yeah, those Blades are Perfect for Personal Protection. Cold Steel has been one of my Favorite Brands for Decades. There are 3 CS Blades on my table opposite me right now. My First Tanto was CS. When that company first started out, I remember their Advertisements were in Gun Magazines and it showed some men sitting down playing cards and one guy puts a Tanto through the man's hand and cards as if he caught the man cheating. After seeing that Tanto, I just had to have one. You don't see Advertisements like that anymore.

Thanks for another great review- I’ve had the counter tac one for awhile- I just slip it in my vest pocket where I can have my hand on it while just sitting on the porch, going down to get the mail or walking where dogs are. It’s a knife that gives you that non verbal gut feeling of being really well armed. Some knives give that, some don’t- regardless of size or price.

I recently picked up the counter-tac 1 and have used it as a belt knife and a boot knife. I'm sure I'll pick up the small one at some point and add to my neck knife collection.

Thank you! Great review

I guess I,'ll have to get both knives. Thanks for the review🗡🗡

Zac in the wild KZfaq channel covers the CT2 very well.

That blade in John Wick II is definitely the Counter Tac 2. Throughout the movies in fact there are various Cold Steel models including the push daggers being used by Ares, the female crime gang member.

Platoon featured one of Cold Steels earlier push daggers

i got mine years ago, so long ago its a seki city counter tac 1, i put it on an airsoft shoulder rig so i don't have to worry about reaching into a boot or pocket, i can grab a cigerette from my pocket "T" put the pack back and grab it if i need to, i carry 2 blades, i wear the shoulder rig daily and carry a crkt mirage with the stupid pocket clip removed in my pocket

Just got the Counter Tac 1 after having the 2 for a while,best boot knife so far .

So true bro! Train with all your weapons! And awesome daggers!

Bro!!! You have read my mind! My wife complains about all of my Cold Steel knives, but she owns SEVERAL pocketbooks! Since I brought up the argument of knives VS pocketbooks, she has realized everybody has their thing of what they collect in their pursuit of happiness. It is to the point that we don't talk much about it anymore. As a Cold Steel fan, the Counter Tac knives are nice, but I am a Tanto point fan first and foremost. Plus, double edged knives are illegal in my state of North Carolina. I do own several Cold Steel spear and drop point knives (Voyager Large Drop Point, Voyager XL Drop Point, Counter Point XL, Counter Point One, 4max Scout). In fact, I am messaging you with my Voyager XL Drop Point beside me right now. I do like your style of video: always outdoors and nothing too flashy. Nice video as always!

I believe you are right about Cassian's knife. Wanna catch John Wick part 4. You're also right about the struggle of knife addiction brother

Spot on its a addiction threw n threw my partner doesn't quite understand my passion for them but she supports me so you definitely brought home a true statement about ( the struggle is real )

I freeze framed the clip. It is a CS Counter Tac 1. I love the Commando Dagger Fairbairn-sykes 🗡 but they are huge, they are illegal everywhere and cost $200 or more, unless you get reproduction.

I actually carry my knives knowing that I have more chances of using it against a dog than against a human. I'd comply in a robbery situation and I don't have any enemies that would try to kill me. So, I have statistically more chances of being killed by a dog than by a human. That's why choosing a knife is so hard for me: I can't decide if 10cm blades are lethal enough against both dogs and humans. Brazil laws regarding knife carry are confuse, undefinitive and contradictory. Therefore, we're subject to judge's mood. Depending on our "luck", we can carry 9cm blades and get busted or carry a damn bowie freely.

Dude, I've been seeing your videos a lot lately! I even saw one of your clips in an Instagram real last night. You were chopping the shit out of something with a knife. It was awesome. I came to find you and subscribe! Great content. I'm totally getting one of these CT2s

Very cool knife, looks like a step up from the Smith & Wesson SWHRT9. Thank you!!!

Wild dogs are a good reason for steel or composite toe boots🤙🏼

It's a slick and all business knife for sure. I do believe I'll be ordering one. This is a blade Sam Fisher would consider carrying. Can't go wrong with cold steel.

So true about men and knives being similar to women and shoes. I don’t know why my girlfriend keeps buying clothes and shoes but it’s probably because she feels the same way I do about those things as I do about knives.

Thanks braddah, been looking at these for a while now, think I will pick up the I.

The asymmetry has always driven me away from it… I get the idea but don’t like the look… just my opinion ! But still cool video , thanks for the review !

Earned my subscription Bubba! Greetings from Georgia!

The Counter Tac 2 would make a freat nwxk knife in a few different ways 🎉😊

Man I love this knife but to be completely honest I'm not a huge fan of the knife being flat on one side, not flat per say but for a lack of a better way of describing it, but I would rather it be shaped the same on both sides . Is the leatherneck like this also? Or does it have the same shape on both sides, I might go with the leatherneck if it's shaped the same on both sides. Looking for a great boot dagger, any help on this is much appreciated friend thaks 🙂

I will be getting the 5 inch blade version but man I wished it wasn’t flat sided on one side. I would prefer both sides to be the same to give it better structural integrity.

NJ we are not supposed to carry any daggers 😢

Weird chisel grind. I'll move on to a different CS model. Thanks for the review.

Screw regulations. Criminals do what ever they want

I’m wanting to come up with a lower leg (calf) rig, with a blade like this

So hard in the UK 🇬🇧 can't carry much, and its hard to defend yourself because of the law 😕 😢

Best Combat Knife is my Dagger 🗡️⚔️🗡️ Cold Steel Tai Pan 🍳

Inluv the Counter Tac 1 & the Counter Tac 2 is just too small ,but I like the Counter Tac 2 just not as mush as the Counter Tac 1 😊 but they both are lots of fun 🎉

It does look like Casian's

How do you sharpen something with no back? I dont think I have a single knife that isnt bevel on both sides. Do you just run the back edge on a really fine ceramic or strop when you are finished sharpening it?

Hell yea thanks

Amen Brother..!!! I think you're right with all of that what , you said in that video!!! I'm coll with everything and i know exactly what you mean about this speziell. Edition... 😂

Hi Love your Videos! I've been considering getting the mini leatherneck or the counter tac 2. In your experience, which one of these knifes have better ergonomics, and which one is less slippery when used? If you are carrying this on your belt with C clamp, which one is better? Thanks!

I'd say it is

How the countertac performs for Throwing?

Is the belt clip removerable on the one and two? Thanks.

I have the Safe Maker 1, which is basically the Counter Tac with a push dagger handle and I like the design as a stabbing wea.... err, puncturing tool, but dang if I can get it sharp. Maybe I got one from a bad batch, but it's the hardest steel I have ever seen. I know it's just AUS 8, but I can't even cut the burr off with a diamond strop. It's crazy.

Dude So true about the knife thing! I've got WAY too many so you shouldn't say that you cant😂. Been trying to weed out ones I'll never use and give Alot away and trash the Joke ones. And try every day to not buy more and You ain't helpin😂😂😂

They looks good but I do have ocd and the chisel grind is sooo disturbing

Lol... Not as easy as you think... Heck, it's REALLY hard to do what you do. 😊😊😊

I want one but I can't carry it in pa

100% same knife in Wick

That was a great review! I happen to work for GSM and I manage cold steel and SOG products. Do you have contact info for us to communicate?

It isn't the same blade. The one in the movie has something written across the base of the blade, just above the hilt. The counter tac 1 doesn't have that

next review: tai pan

Simply a copy of the Gerber Boot Knife Mk1.

Sadly they r a no go in my state for carry. it's about ACCESSORIZING your knife has to match yr jeans or shirt & boots "does this 1 make my butt look big or this 1' ok the GF just gave me "THE LOOK "as i typed this, i better stop. Crap now i have to buy her a new Grurnt Style shirt to match her CS Espada Medium

😠 There ain't no such thing as, "too many knives!"

CS makes great knives I’ll have to pick one of these up. You’re the first person I’ve heard mention dog attacks and that is one of the reasons I edc a Safemaker 1 push dagger. I was attacked by 2 pit bulls once and managed to kick and punch my way out of it. Always a good idea to carry a blade 👍
