I bought one of these and immediately ordered another one. It was that impressive. God awful sharp and mean looking, this knife has a triad lock system that makes it strong as well as deadly. I didn't like the look at first because I had an old model voyager that was a favorite. This one changed my mind. Your point about knives in a fight are correct. I personally know a mother who's son was killed with a small $2 steak knife the killer picked up off the kitchen shelf. The blade was so flexible it went right between the ribs and into the heart with one stab. Pretty sad. We need more knife reviews, esp. since some of the old school reviewers are off topic. CutleryLover is reviewing cigars, wildlife, and all sorts of non-knife videos. I wish he would get back to knives.

Damn you!! You made me order this knife!! My wife is gonna be pissed!!!

Your attacker would never know you were carrying it when you pulled it out I promise you he pisses pants

My first cold steel was the Spartan plain edge and I was amazed by the weight and sharpness of the knife as soon as I got it hours later I was a bit careless closing my Spartan and the tip glided through the side of my index finger with just the weight of the blade and back spring alone with zero effort drew no blood and felt no pain whatsoever cleanest cut I ever received from a blade in my collection that I haven’t polished myself and I was amazed

I have the Voyager Clip Point XL. I also now have the Rajah II XL. Now that is a bloody big knife. A folding pocket Khukuri. That's why I like it. Good for self defense. Stay safe and keep em sharp.

Chris, you worry too much about people's opinions. There are plenty of other videos for them to watch. Keep up the good work.

Keep makin knives reviews! You rock at it your videos are the first thing I come to when I'm looking for a knife that's of good quality and not to expensive

Great video thanks. Love Cold Steel Demko designs and tri-ad lock. Just ordered the XL Voyager drop point with the 5.5" AUS-10 japanese steel & saber grind. It also has the jimping you wanted on the back of the blade. Love the grip of the grivex handle and extra length with the different grip options it give you. The knife is perfect for my left hand when my right hand is busy holding my XL Espada.

Keep the knife reviews coming. I like to hear all points of view and opinions. Knife reviews are why I subscribed to your page. I really enjoy them.

Awesome vid as usual,and yeah the cold steel large folders rock...I've actually done batonning with the folders and never had a lock failure...

I appreciate your knife reviews. I actually base what I get off of your videos. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the great work.

Hey Chris love the vids man! I have the voyager large clip point and love it! I have put it through hell and back she's been rode hard and put up wet! Still going strong I'd love to see a new vid on the xl like a shtf and this is the only knife on you and do some tests/ demonstrations I believe it would hold up very well as my large one does... Keep up the vids glad you keep it raw and not too long!

No 10,000 subscribers now, Chris, 141,000. You're definately doing something right. I for one find your videos both informative and amusing and have bought a load of stuff based on your recommendations. Oh, I've just bought this knife and it is amazing.

I bought the xl tanto and im so in love. I ordered an xl drop point. The drop point version actually has jimping

I for one appreciate the knife reviews, lets me know what options are out there and gives me an opinion from someone who has it. Keep it up man!!

Thanks for your review.Truly helpful as well as entertaining. You're a natural.

I use mine for food prep, I've used it to cut down saplings in shooting lanes in the woods. When you're actually using it hard it doesn't seem at all like a novelty.

I have one of these and I love it. It's nice and light, which I normally would say feels cheap, but this doesn't. It's perfect for a secondary or...third... blade on hikes or camping. I like full flat grinds on smaller knives and this one is perfect.

I like the reviews Chris for knives. There's not enough reviews for cold steel. I own the recon 1 and the counter point 2. Only cold steel blades I have right now. Awesome knife company!

Thank you, I needed another knife review

Nice review bro! This one is next on my list!

The arm up just killed me! Lol keep up the good work!

I just ordered that knife and was second guessing it. Maybe shoulda gotten the drop point yada yada... I'm gettin' the drop point anyway. Seeing YOU, liking this knife makes ME, like this knife all the more!!! Great video and thanks...

Thank you. I needed another knife review.

hey bro I got that same blade frigging love it also I got the xl tanto version first it freaking rocks it's like 4mm thick all way to the needle sharp point of the hollow ground blade little heavier but more then makes up for it.. yea those xl recons look awesome also n that talwar wow its beautiful.. all I need is the vacaro to complete my voyager collection maybe one day if I can ever afford it lol thanks for the blade reviews keepem coming!

I am subbed for knives keep em coming the voyagers are my favorite knives best knives for the money hands down

Chris you made a good choice beautiful knife Lynn Thompson it's pretty awesome I love big pocket knives and that's a beast that is definitely a self-defense knife

Good buy. Great knife. I got one and I liked it so much, I got a second one. I like it because it is big blade, great lock up an very light for its size. A real true large pocket carry due to its light weight. I use it with a pouch and carry it on my left side horizontally. It is not as as strong as the CS Spartan or the Rajah II, but it is a lot lighter. And it will accomplish 90% of the tasks the Spartan or the Raj II will.

I recently got the syderco endura 4. Its a pretty big folder. Nutn is a big fan of the endura also. The VG-10 is a real good steel.

Pls do more knife reviews. I love them all!

i love the knife vids bro, i am a knife addict myself, and it helps to know there are others out there with my same disease!!! p.s. i love cold steel for what they are good at. i have the raja 2, love it!!! and will be getting the recon 1 xl in tanto soon!!!

I just ordered the XL Tanto from Rivers Edge Cutlery...

thank you, I needed another knife review.

I agree whole heartedly about the machete dilemma I got the standard $20 kukri I wish I made a video of how bad it was and how much work I put into it

great review im ordering one this weekend also what camo are you wearing and jacket?

thank you I needed another knife review

Hey Chris, sold one to me buddy! I'll have to pick one up tomorrow, see if my fav shop carries this CS XL. BTW: I liked the bird, that is nature and adds to the overall effect, IMO. Cheers, Andy

Damn straight, I came specifically for the knife reviews!

G'day Chris, It was a good vid back then and still is. Funny. Excellent knife. I have this model in the L and XL. They now come with the CTS BD1 steel. It's really easy to keep a super sharp edge; field stropping is a breeze. At home I can quickly bring them back to factory sharpness by several passes on an F. Dick MultiCut steel; don't really need the WorkSharp unless they have had a heavy workout. Pocket clips; take them off and toss them; useless. Only negative. I had great leather belt sheaths made for them. I'm with you on Cold Steel's machetes. They arrive worse than blunt. I sent my first one back and got a full refund! Their folders, however, are outstanding.

U got yourself a new sub . Thanks for the vid

That's one big-ass folder!

Thanks luv the blade reviews

I found that the micro bevel on this knife is a little shallow and will roll under heavy woods use, I recommend convexing the micro bevel.

The tanto is the way to go. And the turned down handle allows you to punch a upper cut to chin without even opening the SHARP BLADE! This is a man's Knife. You spend a ton just getting us informed. I say thanks you as always please! Keep up the great work you do! I say the Army would carry such a knife but it folds. But who cares! Very well made knife and well worth the money. It just shows a well made knife with many apps. for a cheap price!

tank you ...tasted good ! just bought one at the knife center on sale 39.00 $

Would you rather me get you that for Xmas instead of the Volt SS? Might come in handy at the dropzone....

i think that the large {4 inch} plain clip point version might be the best EDC knife that they have. This XL version is just too big {5 1/2 inch blade} for legal carry..........but it would be Awesome if you could !

Yup the clips are the only part that I had to mod ,but the knife is a monster of a folder.

Nut N Fancy's got some bakin'!

Thank You! I Needed another knife review :P

dude ur freaking awesome keep up the great work :)

Not really. Although I have decided that with the January KZfaq paycheck I am going to get a smaller concealed carry gun from Survival-Tactics and have Steve make a custom kydex IWB holster. Guess I'll have to get my CC permit. Don't feel like lugging the XD9 around. Going to do some gun stuff with Steve at some point soon. He knows guns...I don't. I know knives.

nice review

love your knife reviews mate just keep doing what your doing. lol

I been a fan since the debut in early 80s..I'm old .lol.triad lock holds 450 lbs

I watched the 16 minute video trying to see what the knife looked like when it was being closed. I was concerned that my precious pinkies would be in danger because I've never had a Cold Steel knife with the lockback. You managed to do a great job of opening the knife on camera but closing it below the bottom of the shot. I guess I'll go check out nutnfancy's video. I'm not really complaining because I really did enjoy the video and did learn some stuff.

Jessica needs more relatives. Keep the knife vids coming

I am a knife nut too. I like real life reviews keep it up!!!

Do you think the schrade schf10 is worth buying or is it trash. And if it is trash what would you consider the best knife for that money. I mostly wanna use it for scouting. Thanks if you wanna look at it. Cool vids on your channel.

Please bring on more knife reviews. :-)

I love a good knife review as well.

@14:00 wow my cats went nuts! I wonder what that bird was saying to you.

I give stuff to people that need it, so I can't. Unless it REALLY sucks...but I rarely buy something with no idea what I'm getting.

I have never had a better knife bar none! I have a very large collection of practical EDC knives and nothing comes close!

it has got not thin liners, look into lanyard hole, they are actually pretty thick! Peter from Slovakia, EU.

Have to get me one

Anyone know of any belt pouch that fits this badboy?

thank you

These gen 2's in aus8a (Clip point 50/50) are selling for $38.00 US ATM. Had to buy one.. didn't I?

Hi , Once again Great Vid, I am going to a long winded on this comment , First I don't worry about pocket clips , I use a long Para cord through the hole at the end of the handle and put a large metal clip on the cord. I Let the clip hang out of my pocket, so the cord doesn't fall into my pocket .. Sometimes I just let the knot hang out of the pocket and keep checking it to make sure it's still there if I need it !!

I love ur vids bro

they got the new guys that are just learning on the machetes

I like the new bird ring tone.

Fine

Thanks i needed another knife review! lol :-)

I have just got my cold steel COUNTER POINT XL, Love the knife but it will bit you if not careful , I am speaking from experience.. On my XL the back spring is very stiff ,when I first started using it ,I had to use both hands to close the blade. The blade is heavy and comes down in a flash as soon as the lock releases the blade and yes it caught my finger and cut it pretty good. I now let the blade fall onto something soft in front of me , no more cuts ! I was wondering if anybody out there knows how to get some of tension out of the back spring ,so that its not so hard to close ? Also another warning ,the Thumb studs are not large enough to flip open the blade all the way , and if you try to do it that way you WILL cut your thumb! The way I've learned to do it (open the blade) is to start with the thumb stud ,get the open slightly then snap it open using your wrist ... The Xl is my EDC now ! I know not much of what I have said has much to do with Preparedmind101's vid but I used it because he has so many followers .. I don" want to see any body get hurt .. EDGY

I like it very much

Don't worry about the haters. Knife reviews are always welcome.

Wow, $45. Over here in the UK they cost £74.40.....well over $100.

All good. Just can’t choose.

if they call radios "walkie talkies", shouldnt we call knifes "pointy sharpies"?

תודה!

if you want reach get a sword.or get a grande vaquero. 13.25 in oak. that Nogales serrated blade will impress.

Excellent video and comedy ( yapping bird ) 😆😅🤣😂

The Kris is the best of this series.

this was my carry knife 4 work, too many knuckleheads at that place came very close to using this against 2 dummies a stupidvisor and his pet

Get the spartan its tactical and edc able

One of the things Cold Steel actually does right is sharpening. Their knives are extremely sharp out of box

God vid and knife !

you sold me one this one damn

its like an Estilete Spanish modern vertion

I agree those clips arent the best. Need to take a page from Spyderco on that. But they are great blades

Get that tanto son!

I like the knife reviews.

Not that I noticed.

Nother great video

Ik Ohio knife laws are pretty vague but is there a limit on the blade length

Do Videos You Want To Do Chris...They Are Always Informative And Entertaining...Best Parts In This One...You Defending Yourself At The Start, Practice Swing and That Fucking Bird...Thanks Chris..

CS also should stop putting stickers on the blades of its machetes. You can't peel them off without leaving a residue of paper adding glue which has to be burned off. Who needs a sticker telling them the blades are sharp? As for the Voyagers, my favorite by far is the XL Tanto Plain. It's a bit heavier, but is an outstanding chopper, can pry open wood doors and easily penetrate a 50-gallon drum with no damage to the blade or tip. These knives are incredibly sharp, and the Vaquero recurved blade model is highly underrated.

Why don't you like Krupp steel
