Have been Cold Steel collector for over 30 years. Some of my favorites include: Imperial Tanto, Outdoorsman (carried for over 30 years bowhunting), Black Bear Sai Mai, S. Segal helmet breaker, Segal wakizashi, Cold Steel Seagal Signature Katana, Cold Steel Luzon Series Folding Knife, Bowie San Mai Laredo, San Mai Tai Pan (always wish that I had purchased the Imperial Tai Pan back then).

I really love to hear Lynn talk about Cold Steel designs. Listening to him talk about serrations convinced me to buy a folder with them, even though I have not been interested in one until now. I love his passion for martial blades. Unapologetic, and excited about things that other knife brands try to dance around. That is why Cold Steel Is an indispensable brand. Amazing designs, super tough construction, practical, capable, and super cost effective. I find I have more Cold Steel than anything else, and for good reason.

Cold Steel will always have a spot in my collection. I can listen to Mr. Thompson talk all day!

I've always carried a non serrated but there were some damn good points in this video to reconsider.

I prefer a non serrated for everyday use but like the previous commenter said Lynn makes great points about self defense. Very nice knife and video. Thanks Cold Steel!

Always comment on these awesome videos. No other knife maker would dare to test their products like cold steel does. Cold steel knives live in all my bags and belts.

I love Cold Steel!!!!! Used them when I was in the Navy and ever since.

A modern interpretation of a folding fighting knife that is practical yet deadly… Holdout definitely sounds like a winner

Love that you are talking to us the way Mr. Thompson did for years which is why we love Cold Steel. I love straigh edge, combo edges, and am looking forward to checking out a full serrated edge. Keep making these great knives! - I

Love my Spartan. It's the right kind of heavy that I know I can end a situation quickly if it ever came to it, but it's not going to slow me down because it's unwieldy. Thankfully, I've only ever needed to use it in a utility sense. Love the quick deploy catch on it too. The blade is out and ready to go with zero effort...as long as I catch my pocket correctly, which when I miss I would attribute to my own inconsistency on the draw and not the knife.

Cold Steel has made a name for themselves, simply cannot go wrong buying one of their products.

That slash from the beuty was a suprise, and in real life, I want HER as MY bodyguard, silent but deadly! I have some CS 2 sizes of Luzon, the smaller as a EDC, lost my Secret Edge 2 months ago, is somewhere in my home. But uses a Griek as a substitute for the smaller Luzon some times, or a mini Hunter, just reach down in the pocket pop the sheat off, no carry strap. The Tokyo Spike is a little to long for neck carry, so it's usually resting.

I had a Hold Out III and I loved it! It's always nice to hear Lynn talk. Happy New Year everyone!

Love the Hold Out series. I wear the 3" and 4" models as my practical sgian dubhs. I really miss the 4" model and wish Cold Steel will bring it back. The 6" is a monster of a blade!

I have the Black Talon 2 serrated. It's unnerving how effective it is at rending material. With a dedicated Lansky CS sharpening rod, you have it made.

I love Cold Steel and have never been disappointed with any of the products! Great giveaway and I'm in 👍🏻

I’m not going to lie , I was afraid when Lynn sold ColdSteel that the quality of their knives would go down, I was mistaken,so far thank GOD the new owners are doing a great job of keeping the BEST KNIFE COMPANY IN THE WORLD… ALIVE AND TRUE. THANK YOU!!!!

I've bought several Cold Steel knifes in the span of over 30 years. They make there knifes so strong & thick, I still use my original San mai lock back from 30 years ago.

I've always enjoyed carrying a knife around with me. Not for self defence, but because it's a basic necessity in everyday life. I always seem to need one when I don't have one on me. I think the Hold Out would be the perfect knife to have for my next camping trip.

Love this pattern. One of the best Scottish pattern knives made!

Awesome knife 🔪 Love Cold Steel knives 🔪

"...Stick likes getting hurt." Nearly died laughing

I have have a coldsteel vaquero since 1998 I love coldsteel knives. That hold out is awesome.

Outstanding! I own just about every CS product with the exception of a few units as I've been collecting/carrying for many, many years. CS is ALWAYS my go to EDC no matter what the task, CS NEVER let's me down. 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis 🇺🇲

Cold steel knives are so amazing. This one looks like something you could hunt with on its own.

I love Cold Steel . The best tools I've ever had the pleasure to hold in my hand . Products that I can rely on if my life is in danger ,Cold Steel will never let you down.

I love ❤ coldsteel been a customer since I first heard their name decade's ago...thank you Lynn and team for making product of top quality I can afford. Happy New Years

I have carried a Cold Steel blade for years. I am a professional chef an as a utility I use my Cold Steel folders as often as my 8" chef. Quality and affordability have my motives and Cold Steel delivers plus innovative design and carry comfort.

I would love to add to my collection so glad to have the stickman himself on the channel seeing him use the tools himself cant get any better

Looks like a great self defense blade! Enjoyed the vid. T'Ripp suprised me with that quick cut at the end haha - awesome 😁

Cold Steel has some awesome products that you can trust anytime anywhere.

The Hold Out's and Talwar's and Recon 1's and Voyager's and Espada's and Ti-Lite's and Frenzy's and Counter Point's have always been my favorite Cold Steel Mega Folders to SDUEDC (Self-Defense, Utility, Everyday, Carry). :-)

Shared! cold steel is the best of the best! Nothing cuts better nothing is stronger! Thank you cold steel for your perfect products

Cold steel is the best damn folding knife for the price on the market. Thank you GSM for not tanking our beloved CS!! Please keep learning from Lynn. I will like share and am subscribed. 😉👍🏻

I am a Cold Steel truly fan for more than a decade, when I started with a Para Edge and a Recon 1 1st gen. until the new Recon 1 in a S35VN that I love

About as perfect a defensive knife as you can get.

I could listen to Lynn talk for hours, very informative. I need to get a hold out I m sold.

As a new LEO I need something like this! As a former US army cavalry scout I used my cold steel recon 1 tanto aus 8 when I was deployed back in 2009 at Afghanistan.

Love the big knives too. Been interested in Lynn's work since I was a tiny little Air Force Airman in the late 70's. Yeah I'm old.

Serrated Hold out would be great addition to every knife collection, and great knife to carry.

Love Cold Steel knives. Owned the micro recon, code 4, and American lawman.

I’ve relied on cold steel blades for over two decades. Always good!

I love Cold Steel Knives! I cared then while I was in Iraq and still use them daily!! I have several of them ! Every single one is outstanding!!

I have loved cold steel for years!!! I ordered a bush craft knife when I lived I Korea...The Korean Government wouldn't let me I have so I shipped it to family. I waited 10 years to be able to get that knife...and it was worth it!!!

I never thought much about Cold Steel for a long time. Now I own 6 and gifted my father a Cold Steel Voyager clip point for ranch work. They make the best full package knives with sheaths too. Good steels and strong designs. All else is flourish.

I love my Hold Out...bought it 2018...after they were discontinued...in the year end sale (which Cold Steel no longer does) close out..actually bought teo...one plain and one serrated..

I'm glad Lynn still makes videos with cold steel.

Liked, shared. As for commentary I'm mesmerized by this amazing young woman you have started featuring. Please continue.

I don't usual spend a dime on blades unless it's Cold Steel. You guys truly are The GREATEST!

I'm absolutely delighted about returning of the Hold Out!!! It was a big grief for me that circumstances turned out like I was too late to buy full serreted Hold Out when it was already taken out of production. That time I had to choose between Hold Out and Talwar 5.5 and I chose the second one. Also, I could spend a little more money and buy both knives, but I didn't, so I still feeling regretted about it.

In the martial system I've been in for almost 21 years we do a lot of knife work. Cold Steel makes a great product and many of them ride in our students' pockets and in their belts.

I have carried serrated and non-serrated blades for years. Both have served me well. Cold Steel, "The Indestructables" have never failed me. I have been using a Hi-Ho little serrated knife for over 20 years. It has been the best kitchen knife, for it's size, I have ever used!

Cold Steel has is one of my all time favorite knife manufacturers. Happy New Year !!

I've carried various large and XL Voyagers every day for 15yrs. I'll have to check out the Hold Out.

Great to see that Cold Steel will continue with its product videos also in 2022. Good luck and stay healthy.

Hold on, he’s got a Hold Out. Robber runs for his life…

Love all Cold Steel Blades. They are simply the best!

I can't remember the last time I listened to someone speak so passionately a product. You know Mr Thompson really believes in what he's putting out there!

Holdout2 is still one of my favorite EDC blades. I didn't think I'd like it near as much as I do.

I started practicing filipino martial arts under Dan Inosanto in the early 90s. Everyone carried cold steel knives as their EDC and I started doing the same. No regrets. I love the products and swear by them.

My favorite folding cold steel knive has always been the Rajan II but this one seems to be a next one on the top

DAMMM Nice. The hold out serrated till the end... " One Last Cut " ... Dont hold out on me . would love to own one some day!!! Love the videos you guys put out.

I live my frenzy 3, I believe in your cutting edge so much. I would love to everyday carry this blade

Just replaced my Recon 1 tanto after years of it serving me. Glad to see the quality hasn't changed a bit over the years.

I've carried both serrated and non over the years. The serrated have advantages over most blades out there with this Cold Steel serration being used. I own a Vaquero Grande in serrated I keep locked up now but still love it. I really wish you had made a Spartan in serrated. It would have been an awesome blade. This knife has been on my radar for a long while. I love your vids and Lynn's talks on the different blades. Take Care and Stay Safe to all.

I have made my own knives before and sold them all over the U.S., all fixed blades. You can't get a better knife than a Cold Steel folder that will rival any fixed blade knife! Cold Steel folders are the only knives I carry now.

I've liked, Shared on whattapp and facebook and commenting because I absolutely have loved coldsteel since 1998 all my knives are from you guys ,if it ain't coldsteel it's not in my pocket ,real talk!

I have an original Hold Out II and III both in AUS8 and I’m planning to upgrade to the new S35VN versions. I love all my Cold Steel knives.

Simple yet refined.

I've always loved serration. It was really nice hearing those points hammered home.

Gotta be proud of that throw Stickman, that was a nice one!

I have the Steel Tiger karambit and the Spartan which are 2 of my favorite knives. Cold Steel doesn’t disappoint.

From the first video I saw of Cold Steel I’ve been a fan.

This looks like another Cold Steel win. Big, strong, and as a self defense weapon just the sight of this knife should deter any bad guy, if not, then prepare to meet your maker. I would love to have one.

Hold Out is best ever for splinters. Nothing else quite so thin at the tip with a tiny point. Verdict 3" for normal chores, Air Lite for .5" longer length (minimum for paring knife chores), and SR1 Lite for standard 4" paring knife chores and potentially life saving pry bar duties.

Boy that’s so cool it’s as cold as steel and it’s the knife I have been holding out for!

Cold Steel and have never disappointed me with their stuff. I use my trusty SRK knife all the time.

Have begun to collect more Cold Steel knives recently. Excellent selections, decent priced and exceptional performance. Currently own an original kukri, a XL espada in G10, assorted machetes and a Raja 2. They all out perform expectations.

Nice contrast between the sweet heart with the lovely smile and the bad boys wielding death

I love Cold Steel. Always fun to watch their videos.

I prefer the non-serrated version and have the 4" Hold Out currently in my EDC rotation. Great, great knife. In my own (limited) testing I've had the serrated edges get caught up or bound in heavy clothing or layers of material. I'm always more afraid for my fingers than the blade, especially with Cold Steel, so it might be time to re-examine that. What better way to do so than to have you send me one?

So many knives to choose….hold out series is awesome while sharp asf! I always feel like a kid on Christmas whenever I see what Cold steel has in store for us knife nuts.

I gotta get me the serrated Marauder first! I love that cold steel is doing fully serrated blades!!

Will you bring back medium one? Got a few hold outs in all sizes ( 4 hold outs ii, 2 hold outs iii and 1 hold out i) but my favourite is definitely medium one. Would love to have another xl, the one I have is plain edge so second one probably will be serrated. CS is my favourite company. Best tools/weapons ever!!! Love it

Wow, a 6" flat grind folder from Cold Steel! I love it! Would love to have the non serrated edge! But either way, I won't be choosey! I own a tanto fixed blade and I love it. Thanks Cold Steel!

Stick likes to get hurt, that made me chuckle. Nice knife. When T cut that bottle at the end I felt that. Careful boys...

Always, always always wanted one of these. Talk about beast. the locks on these Cold Steels is really second to none

Cold Steel, Thank you very much for uploading this entertaining and informative video. Could you show us how to hone these serrations with simple tools, please? Thank you very much in advance.

I want a Hold Out so bad. Such a cool knife, both the folder and the fixed blade are on my list of must have knives. Cold Steel does a great job at designing knives.

Thank you and happy new year!😊🙏🍾🍾🍾

Love cold steel been buying them for over 20 years got a great collection some in my survival packs some edc great for every occasion

Cold steel is always and forever the best and my favorite for many years!

Absolutely Love Love the Holdout. I own a 6”, 4” and 3” HO. My 6” and 3” have S35vn and my 4” has CTS XHP steel

I carry a Voyager Vaquero 👍 my favorite Bowie is my 1917 frontier direct from special projects years ago. I Broke my 17 in half and rebuilt it myself about 1 month ago, it is now indestructible and usable! .. I don't need GSM for any warranty claims 👍🤣 Keep up the great work guys & gals I do love your work, however i will only be buying large Bowie knives from a custom knife maker, and this particular knife builder Warrantys their knives to be used for baton splitting firewood!🤠👍🗡🗡🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🌳🔥

A real combat pocket folder that's all business when it comes to Deadly in the Cold Steel Deadliest Weapons Series.

I got a cold steel Rajah 2 about 10 years ago, and a couple of times I have been in a tough situation and pulled it out of my front pocket “I’m a big guy “ and I have seen trouble go away.

We are really lucky to have cold steel. If people in the ancient times saw it, they would go crazy

Oh man! That’s a beauty! Who doesn’t need a huge serrated blade in their pocket. I know I do.

Absolutely great self-defense blade.

For such a large folding knife, it’s a very elegant & unique piece. I’d love to get my hands on a blade with such brawn and beauty.
