good ideas, how to test the knife edge. i got me the cold steel voyager, it has a full flat grind with a v edge. i convext the v edge a little bit and now the knife cuts great. thank you for sharing und come up with new ideas, how to test an edge.
Very interesting, It is a sweet looking blade and I heard the handle was great to grip and around your handle, but this knife seems to be a hit and miss or such. People were saying how this knife (even though it's the same lock) doesn't have the strongest lock and the blade seems to be weak (sharpness wise). Can't wait to see the convex edge!
@VengeanceIV no, you didnt miss it. i convexed it after the video :) i kept the test with the regular factory edge but first thing after the test off to the belt sander it went lol. :) definitely a bit sharper now and much much better cutter actually...
BRO!!! You got me looking very much forward to seeing you turn that knife into a Convex edge!!!
I stopped carrying that Blade for two reasons. It tore up my pants from drawing it and I was never able to get it Acceptable Sharp. it was "OK" but never great!
Nice review i have two of theese and can tell you that they can hold up to a lot more torture. Keep up the good work, really enjoy your vids and reviews. Thanks.
very practical demonstration thanks. :) You made quite a mess there lol. anyway you showed it can get some work done and you can look very cool in the process.
what will you use to sharpen the knife?

Better steel and flat grind would be a huge improvement on an awesome knife!

Good vid. after beating on my AK-47 the wiggle did go away. Still has a very solid lock up.

That's not bad at all actually. I'm kinda surprised they hollow ground it as well though. Hollow's suck for most knives.

Do you think you might be reprofiling that blade to a convex grind, or at least raising the relief edge and converting it into a semi-scandi edge?

When will Cold Steel start using high grade steel? Damn, if they put out a blade in CPM M4, MSRP would be $2000 and your child's left arm.
