Cold Steel Triple Action Plain Tanto and Double Edge: Shining Failure

Great knife to show off to your friends, but if you are one of those kinds of people that are anal about a nice, fancy looking blade. This isn't for you. I can see why they are discontinuing it. (Correct me if I am wrong)

Fun fast knife. Although the original price makes me cringe every time I think about it.

Design flaw, the blade hits the cover on the way out. Very disappointing, although I should have expected it from studying the design better instead of getting caught up in it's hype. Sorry guys! Just keeping it real.

so can you carry it in ca? legally I mean.

[MajorMalphunction]

From my understanding of the law, the single sided knife. (Tanto Tip). The double edge is a little tricky depending on city. If an officer were to ask you about the knife, just show him how to open it with the thumb stud.

[vuileasbak]

Misused????? your kidding me

thats like benchmade refusing to replace a pivot on a BM42 cause you were flipping it ......damn

least they could do is resharpen it

[MajorMalphunction]

Yeah. The edge of the tanto tip is really messed up. I'll probably try again in a few weeks. It's been months since I've touched that knife. :/

[vuileasbak]

disappointment of the century this blade for me , and your right , consumerblindness

[MajorMalphunction]

Yeah, I was naive and gave into the hype of the knife. I called up Cold Steel and they said that they can't service it because it's "Misused" I've been reluctant of CS since then :/

[LordChrisHimself]

Balisongs are illegal to carry, not own. I live in CA. Check my vids.

[BelairUSN]

so let me get this straight. a knife that is designed to operate via your thumb is perfectly legal, but a balisong is illegal because it can be 'quickly manipulated by a single hand'???

MAKES NO SENSE...

[BboyyBayani]

Is Iowa a state?

[JBK52596]

they should have made the handles of steel and put a zytel liner inside so that your blade wont get dinged up,

thanks for the vid,

california sucks iowa is better

[BitFox]

Just picked mine up yesterday, I agree that the fact that it gets easily damaged sucks, I'm glad Cold steel used such a light, soft aluminum for the handle, There could be worse steels to use. On the subject of it being a bad knife? I disagree. It's a pioneer design on a loophole that allows average joes to have a neat play knife, It was never really produced in super large amounts and on top of that its discontinued. I'm proud to own an Original Triple action and cannot wait for improvements.=D

[5440Borderline]

Great video. I had an incredibly hard time finding one of these for sale online and the lady from CS I talked to just recently said they've never really put these out in any volume and they are completely discontinued. Sucks because it's a really cool knife and a ton of websites still have it listed for sale, but won't actually sell it to you. What's the point of having a website if you don't keep it updated?

[newcoyote]

Reading the comments here, California law has worse things to worry about. Can't any of you even spell?

[seniorfluffthethird]

balisongs are legal in california if your not in the L.A, county so you can buy butterfly knives look at the laws if you dont beleave me.

@liteduke72

Actually even having it on you is ok. Its completely within my legal rights in California. I checked and made sure. In fact, you can even buy them here at Malls.
