I think it would be cool to have a poll so TNPers can vote on blades they want you to review. Maybe make it a video and have dudes comment the blade they want reviewed and then use comment voting. Just an idea. Love the channel man. Thanks so much for all the great content
I've got a kobun (based on your recommendation, of course), and it's pretty much everything I need, except handle security. The AUS8A kobuns should be around 30 bucks now, because I got mine for $28, which is why I jumped on it instead of its cheaper cousin the Tanto lite (which you can still probably get two of for the price of a kobun). Had my doubts on the Krupps steel, but now that you say it's decent, I might shell out for it when I have 20 bucks to spend.
Nutn, we finally disagree on something! You love CS SecureEx sheaths, and I hate 'em! I have four CS knives, and the SecureEx sheaths dull the blades on every one. VERY disappointing! Pls share if you have a cure.
Nutn you need to make some 2012 blade catalog vids! I mean you will probably go to SHOT 2012 so it may be pointless but it gives us a good idea of what your thinking about adding to your addiction collection :)
Good review Nutnfancy, I wish that the Manufacture would add bigger hand guards to the blades. I have to agree with you about making knives overseas to keep the prices reasonable.
Thanks, Nutnfancy. Love the reviews, and down to earth data you send us. The information you present allow me to pick and choose items that will fit my system .
lemme tell ya man, diggin the review, and deffinatley diggin the blade. your 100% right for the price point that this blade is offered at, it deffinatley meets and exceeds the expectations of its POU'S. people needa cut it some slack a 20$ knife wont be as great as the 200$! but deffinatley a great outdoors/camp knife or tactical fixed blade
Interesting. Had my doubts about that Krupp steel. Thanks for the info. I don't mind foreign tools as long as they don't abuse workers (I mean more than the USA does) or make crap (China).
Awesome, Nutn, thanks. Fell in love with the big bucks Outdoorsman and bought the Kukri instead. Just saw these "lite" versions in the CS catalog and was really curious...seems like the Outdoorsman Lite could take up the Kukri's slack in some tasks.
Got a finn bear which is in the same family as reviewed knives. Can't complain. A $12 blade that is awesome. Can say the pouch sucks because I know what the intent is. I was considering the outdoorsman lite but figured my needs could be met by the finn bear. As far as I'm concerned the 4116 krupps is great. As a chef whose daily knives are carbon I am surprised by the stainless.
Gerber makes a knife that is almost EXACTLY like that kershaw big rock, my father owns one with with a partial seration. It's a great knife from what i've seen, just wanted to comment on that and tell you that Gerber produces one similar to it. Not sure what the name of that specific knife is but i'll look into it. Keep up the great reviews!!
the knife and, covers it up so completely, that it is hard to retrieve the knife from the sheath. Instead getting a fully hand on the handle (saw like the Kershaw Bear Hunter you showed), you have to use a combination of your thumb and index finger to pull it out of the sheath.
Time consuming, ineffective, and unreliable for its P.O.U- tactical, soldier fighting knife.
Very good review. I like the look of both knives, and as you have shown, the 3116 Krupp's stainless steel is capable of cutting on par with say some other mid to lower steels (like AUS-8, 8Cr13MoV (one of my favorites), 440B, 440C, 420HC, etc.)
My only beef is with the sheath. True, as you said, at the price point, you shouldn't be expecting various mounts, Kydex molded, etc and so forth.
I am fine with the Condura sheath, but the problem is the design of that sheath. It runs up so high on
I know you dont take let stuff interfere about what stuff to review and what not to but is there a request list somewhere to vote on in order to "suggest" reviews?
If so i would like to add the RAT/ESEE Izula 1 or 2 to the list of fix blades to take a look at.
The moment I saw that Kershaw big rock, I was like....."I must have it!" it looks sleek and light and From the contours of the handle I bet the grip rocks on it as well.
i typically love cold steel product, they are quality tested knives at an affordable rate, the only crazy priced things are there swords, which is understandable, but if youre a guy like me with a knife fetish cold steel is really an awesome company, i know most try to stay away cause its not "a name brand" but i give the guys at cs alot of respect!
hey nutnfancy love the vids just want your opinion on something i have got around $450 and am looking for a good tactical/survival survival could u just give me the names of some knives u would recomend thanks .
i like the mora 2000, 14c28 sandvik steel, cost like 10-15 bucks , good blade shape for everything , good belly and still a delicate but strong tip , you should review this great knife,
good review btw haha love you nutnfancy your awsome
I don't blame you for not getting into knife related martial arts, Nutn. Honestly I think they're a waste of time since so much time gets spent learning to duel with a knife when the reality of knife violence is nearly always a blade in the gut before one knows a blade is in play to begin with. Knowing when to run and when to shoot is the best approach to self defense in my opinion. YMMV
For those who are interested, I believe that combat footage was from, and can be found on funker530's page!
A big huuuuuua to all my brothers in arms in Canada and the US that can't be home with their families for Christmas this year. And to all those who never made it home, my heart is with you and your families.
Oh what about the "Glock" knife - I also bought mine at a gun show for an amazing $25 in OD green, another awesome fighting knife as well as a utility/camping/general purpose blade - love it!!!!!! – I’m really getting addicted to knives now a long with guns, packs, gear etc …………
I bought the Cold Steel - "Kobun" at a gun show for $25 & it's an amazing knife especially for the money. Mine rides upside down on the shoulder strap on my Eagle chest rig. It's perfect as it's so trim so there are no issues with it banging into things & or getting caught up, is awesome when going prone, just a perfect option for upside down on the shoulder strap of any chest rig. I also carry it in a EDC roll horizontally on the belt, so trim & light it’s easy and comfortable to carry
@Boot2theDead >>>> Thanks brother, once you get them in hand you see the quality and it's amazing that you get it in a $25 blade. So what's your high value blade that you own/carry? Oh what do you think about the Rajah III by Clod Steel for EDC/back up defensive blade and over all addition to your load out system>>>
@ArmedCivilian556 I usually pack a Cold Steel Spartan as my EDC blade, but I'm about to retired it for a Recon 1 Clip Point plain edge just to give it a rest for a while. I prefer the thumb plate for pocket deployment though. Less to think about when you're under stress and need your blade. So with that in mind, I think the Rajah III is a great back up defensive blade if you don't mind the weight. If it's anything like the Spartan, it's kind of a rock lol.
@ArmedCivilian556 Not that I mind the weight though. I'd also say take a look at the redesigned Cold Steel Voyagers. I've got a Clip Point and a Vaquero model, both in XL and you would be surprised at how lite they are, especially for having blades that measure 5 1/2 inches.
@Boot2theDead >> Sounds cool, & I hear ya dude, weight does not bother me either, for the most part, or should I say “reasonable weight”. Anyone who carries a blade specifically designed for defensive usage needs a blade with reach, nothing less than 4” & nothing that is much too heavy to carry every day in a front/back pocket and/or in a e.d.c. bag. So what’s your e.d.c. knife option?
@ArmedCivilian556 I try to switch it up. For the last two years, it's been the CS Spartan, and I recently started backing that up with the Kershaw Tremor. I love how quickly and easily they deploy under stress. I also swap the Spartan for a Recon 1 clip point sometimes. I carry a Victorinox Recruit for small task or when I need a blade for a utility in public. People freak when they see big sharp knives. Dunno why...lol
@Boot2theDead I flippen love the "Spartan" that’s a bad ass mammer jammer. I usually run the CS Rajah III, a Spyderco Tenacious backed up by the Persistence & followed up by the Buck Vantage for general tasks. I change them up from time to time but I always rock them in sets. Oh love the Kershaw oso sweet as well. Than in my edc bag I’m rocken another 2 fixed blades, usually the a CS Spike and a Kabar tdi hidden in the belt attachment. People think I’m crazy I think I’m prepared.
@ArmedCivilian556 Absolutely!! People tell me I'm paranoid, but frankly, I know I'm not prepared enough lol. I'm relatively new to all of this, so I'm still in the process of gathering useful things and building systems. But I'm a big believer in having "layers" of preparedness in case something fails, gets lost, or in a combat situation, you become disarmed. I've been wanting to get a Scimitar Spike and maybe the Toyko and Bowie Spikes too. Which one do you have?
@Boot2theDead Well let me say your right on the money – it’s all about systems and layers of protection, because we all know everything fails. I have the CD spike and it’s a nasty you’ll never see it coming until it’s too late. Super sharp, with a massive re enforced tip and a sweeping belly, this blade has it all. Not to mention its small and light
Once again you come thru with an awesome video showing off some incredible blades at an amazing price point, much thanks NF. Merry Christmas from my family to you and yours “TNP - 2012”, and on …….
@geardog32 Second that. Me neither. I acknowledge they are good knives, high value for the most part and certainly a wide variety to choose from. As a matter of taste, I just find no appeal in Cold Steel. I would never knock someone who does though.
@newcoyote Totally understandable. I think that, even though they seem to make something for everyone, they are still somewhat of an acquired taste. I'm hooked on Cold Steel personally. There's other knife makers that I feel the the same as you do about Cold Steel though. Everyone's got their thing.
@TactiSoldier Yeah? Mick Strider also advertised himself as being SF when he was no such thing. Anyhow I get what you're saying. Striders are great knives, in fact I own three(see my channel). For the typical soldier a Strider is out of the question. If you ask most front line soldiers, you'll find a knife is not that high on the load out list. Certainly not a $500 one they have to fork out themselves for. It's hype. Don't be too taken with image over practicality.Poor tactics.
Great review on an interesting knife, but as soon as you brought the SOG Fusion out.... I've had less than satisfactory experience with the Fusion, which has put me off the cheaper knives for some time.
Wheelchair TNP'r here. Can I just say how mad I am about the needs gimping issue... Why oh why wouldn't you offer a patch that says "has gimping" or "needs more gimping"? JK it cracks me up every time you bring it up. Great reviews, love the knives. Also picked up a sub 2000 at gunnies a little while ago based on your review. You got me interested in the outdoors and gear again. All the best in 2012!
@UltraCarbonFiber It's just the funniest mistake we made in the patches. Every time I bring it up I'm making fun of ourselves which is funny in itself. Maybe we'll build on it like you say ;-) and make some variations. Thanks man for watching and commenting!
For an "old school knife review" it sure has a nice new school touch. I just found a new knife to go on the top of my list! Cold Steel gets it right more than often with value and finished functionality.
I don't feel it's fair to level this criticism against a "katana" blade. Most Katana have a full guard all the way around. This is Cold Steel's doing.
For the price point I'd be tempted to strip the old handle and fabricate a new one. Larger guard, metal pommel... yeah it will tack on an extra ounce or two but it'll look nicer and work better. Just my two cents.
price point is important to consider. but i feel like for POU's such as this maybe its best to throw those considerations and frugality out the window. do you really want to skimp on a blade in an environment where in which there is a higher than usual likelihood that you will need it to defend your life?
@mateohellabay78 I sliced my finger open with my new Rajah II yesterday. Tis the season for cutting yourself accidentally too, apparently lol. It's good to know that your blades are just that damn sharp though haha
I used to spend a lot of money into expensive gear thinking that I would buy once and keep it forever as I have done for a lot of my items. But your reviews have changed my thought and I do end up buying some of the items I see you review when I need them. Thanks.
@J88Wolf Well the cool thing is that with them being so affordable and full tang, you can cut the material off the handles and make your own grips somehow or probably even just wrap it with some 550.
I was waiting for the Kobun !! LOL. It does seem like a slightly better option. It is a half inch shorter at 5.5 inch but it is now made in Aus 8 steel has a way better sheath, only 4.4 ounces, which is lighter. And for all those benefits over the "lites" you only pay $10 bucks more. Come too think of it why haven't I bought one yet ? LOL
Nut'n TV on Saturday morning. Good start to my day. Thanks nut'n. Just got some troy stuff love it. Flash suppressor with improvised breaching devise wicked looking. Hey nut'n i know you are busy. I was wondering where the best place to mount a forwarded grip in relation to a rail mounted light on a AR platform would be. I know you probably will not be able answer it's all good.

I usually run the CS Rajah III, a Spyderco Tenacious backed up by the Persistence & followed up by the Buck Vantage for general tasks. I change them up from time to time but I always rock them in sets. Oh love the Kershaw oso sweet as well. Than in my edc bag I’m rocken another 2 fixed blades, usually the a CS Spike and a Kabar tdi hidden in the belt attachment. People think I’m crazy I think I’m prepared.
ArmedCivilian556 2 months ago
@ArmedCivilian556 Absolutely!! People tell me I'm paranoid, but frankly, I know I'm not prepared enough lol. I'm relatively new to all of this, so I'm still in the process of gathering useful things and building systems. But I'm a big believer in having "layers" of preparedness in case something fails, gets lost, or in a combat situation, you become disarmed. I've been wanting to get a Scimitar Spike and maybe the Toyko and Bowie Spikes too. Which one do you have?
Boot2theDead 2 months ago
@Boot2theDead Well let me say your right on the money – it’s all about systems and layers of protection, because we all know everything fails. I have the CD spike and it’s a nasty you’ll never see it coming until it’s too late. Super sharp, with a massive re enforced tip and a sweeping belly, this blade has it all. Not to mention its small and light
ArmedCivilian556 2 months ago
@ArmedCivilian556 Yeah there's a few spikes I want. I think they are just awesome little shanks haha.

geardog32 2 months ago
@geardog32 Second that. Me neither. I acknowledge they are good knives, high value for the most part and certainly a wide variety to choose from. As a matter of taste, I just find no appeal in Cold Steel. I would never knock someone who does though.
newcoyote 2 months ago
@newcoyote Totally understandable. I think that, even though they seem to make something for everyone, they are still somewhat of an acquired taste. I'm hooked on Cold Steel personally. There's other knife makers that I feel the the same as you do about Cold Steel though. Everyone's got their thing.

Thumbs up if you agree

@TactiSoldier Strider SMF the "Ultimate soldier's Knife"? On a soldiers pay? Right.
newcoyote 2 months ago
@newcoyote Well, they advertise themselves as such
TactiSoldier 2 months ago
@TactiSoldier Yeah? Mick Strider also advertised himself as being SF when he was no such thing. Anyhow I get what you're saying. Striders are great knives, in fact I own three(see my channel). For the typical soldier a Strider is out of the question. If you ask most front line soldiers, you'll find a knife is not that high on the load out list. Certainly not a $500 one they have to fork out themselves for. It's hype. Don't be too taken with image over practicality.Poor tactics.

Wheelchair TNP'r here. Can I just say how mad I am about the needs gimping issue... Why oh why wouldn't you offer a patch that says "has gimping" or "needs more gimping"? JK it cracks me up every time you bring it up. Great reviews, love the knives. Also picked up a sub 2000 at gunnies a little while ago based on your review. You got me interested in the outdoors and gear again. All the best in 2012!

@UltraCarbonFiber It's just the funniest mistake we made in the patches. Every time I bring it up I'm making fun of ourselves which is funny in itself. Maybe we'll build on it like you say ;-) and make some variations. Thanks man for watching and commenting!

I don't feel it's fair to level this criticism against a "katana" blade. Most Katana have a full guard all the way around. This is Cold Steel's doing.

For the price point I'd be tempted to strip the old handle and fabricate a new one. Larger guard, metal pommel... yeah it will tack on an extra ounce or two but it'll look nicer and work better. Just my two cents.

price point is important to consider. but i feel like for POU's such as this maybe its best to throw those considerations and frugality out the window. do you really want to skimp on a blade in an environment where in which there is a higher than usual likelihood that you will need it to defend your life?

It is a half inch shorter at 5.5 inch but it is now made in Aus 8 steel has a way better sheath, only 4.4 ounces, which is lighter. And for all those benefits over the "lites" you only pay $10 bucks more. Come too think of it why haven't I bought one yet ? LOL

Maybe TNP'S have some data.
