jeez guys, I love Cold Steel products but do you have to be so condescending toward every other knife brand out there? You guys aren't the one and only good knife brand you know.

[csknives]

@LWRCftw LOL We've never been humble but we are very proud of our products and their performance :)

remind me never to upset a fat fuck wielding a san mai kukri.

[csknives]

@MrJenik007 Calling him a "fat f**k" is a good way of doing that. I think I'll remind you to show some respect or go away

[chalyx]

have u ever cut your hand with that ... errr .... things ???

[csknives]

@chalyx nope

[chimerified]

3:34 we can make life saving cuts like this

@downwithemery No, it's really not. The hard core it where it gets its cutting capabilities, any true Katana has the same construction, and no, it doesn't chip on bone or dirt. If you're getting chips then you're using the blade incorrectly. It will chip on rock, any hard steel will. I own a huge collection of Fallkniven, most of which are laminated VG-10 and the same issues are in play. 420J is strong and flexible, otherwise the blade will be too brittle.

NO, leaf spring blades are NOT tough.

@buford12399 you on your period or something?

[buford12399]

[Aussiecasey]

I recently brought the San Mai 3 version and sk5 version the San Mai 3 is thicker and there ffor heavier then Sk5 I love them both keep up the good work cold steel

[coolkayaker1]

Would this knife be appropriate for a teenage boy whose current knife is a Leatherman Squirt? Thank you.

[csknives]

@Evan1boy the Machete version is a very capable tool but it does not compare to the SanMai III version

[Evan1boy]

Could these same cuts be made with the machete version? I recon not but it doesn't hurt to ask.

[tallswede80]

@USAisgay Nutnfancy is a fool.

[tallswede80]

@TaskForceSixTwoSix Yeah, totally agree.

[mybabeCL]

I'm sure my kitchen could do the same when it comes to cutting beef.

[Nerfer998]

I love how cutlerylover's came really dull.

[seventhSabra]

@aadrianlee Where do you get those numbers? This costs about $380 USD.

And for all the people whining that it isn't a REAL Kukri, yeah, it's better. Real Kukri's have several flat edges which cannot cut nearly as well as the constant curve provided by this blade.

It's made in Japan, not China.

Someone mentioned chipping-that's user error. VG-10 WILL chip out if you aren't careful and make contact with rocks and other things not meant to be cut.

[USAisgay]

@seventhSabra hello seventhsabra, i have had a coldsteel trail master in san mai the edge retention toughness and flexibilty were amazing but on batoning i did have small chips nothing major easily sharpend out, and even nutnfancy agrees with me one of hte top knife reviews guys outhere but cs blades rock got the sk5 version of this its amazing

[Arbinable]

thats not a orginal khukuri

[IMFLondon]

@chimerified the grim reaper must be laughing

[dk0bl1v10n]

@chimerified cut an enemy like that..it WILL save your life.

[mryellow123]

@TaskForceSixTwoSix "All over the world"? Familiar with Alexander The Great? Coupled with the fact a good design is a good design, anywhere. It just happens to be an efficient shape for lots of edge to slice from a swing with the human arm.

Light-bulbs and lots of other things pop up in different places at near the same time too. Plenty of reasons for what you say. Will say though the Nepalese make them a bit differently to most and have perfected the design.

[TaskForceSixTwoSix]

@mryellow123 What's "bullshit" is the Nepalese trying to lay claim to this blade design.

Anyone who's even briefly looked up weapons throughout history knows that this blade design was used all over the world.

You can thank the British for mythologizing the gurkhas to the point of total absurdity.
