I miss when big Pappa Bear Lynn Thompson sat down and showed us his new 20-foot sword he was concealing in his boot :( now we got fancy man showing us fancy box cutters that are indistinguishable from every other brand.

Cold Steel (GSM Outdoors) NEEDS to offer new Recon's in medium, large and Extra Large blade versions like The Cold Steel of old and add low profile, deep carry pocket clips.

I'd like to see Cold Steel market an OTF that makes the microtech halo look like a cub scout knife.

[mikerollins]

The Espada XL just might be the 1 knife you could take to a gun fight! 😂

[danielrobinson]

Cold Steel used to be a brand loaded with affordable hard use working knives. A few years ago the recon 1 was under $100. All of their products are now completely out of the blue collar worker’s price range. The price of their products has doubled within the span of 10 years. Spyderco has gotten ridiculous too. The majority of their products are hundreds of dollars. These companies completely abandoned their original customer base. Really sucks to see your favorite brands completely give in to greed.

The good thing about companies pricing themselves out of the reach of their original customer base is that it opens the door to new companies coming into the marketplace that serve customer bases abandoned by manufacturers that forgotten them !

I hope cold steel brings back the Scimitar folder. I had mine for 10 years until i lost it. Such a unique design

[_jaber]

The sale of Cold Steel, people were worried the quality would diminish. No one saw corporate overpricing, bringing a death to Cold Steel!

[hardusehobby]

Finally they bring back the old classics. Really looking forward to these old school knives. And the original titanium linerlock. Thats pretty cool stuff👍. Also the guy with the business dress for the presentation. Well done.

[CanItAlready]

Aside from the price he weird for the Caledonian edge, that coated blade just makes me sad.

It seems like an awful lot of knife companies have designed or in this case reintroduced really nice knives and then decided they need to have coated blades for no reason. This is a really annoying trend.

[mugsofmirth]

Gotta love how the Cold Steel booth is in a quiet darkened room isolated from all the other areas of the show.

[RamZar]

That Cold Steel Recon M1 folder with 4" Black Stonewashed MagnaCut blade, Tri-Ad lock and Black G-10 looks great. Is it made by Fox Knives of Maniago, Italy?

[Spankus]

Anyone else miss Lynn Thompson. This guy is beige paint on toast.

[otobotrecords]

Recon 1 in Magnacut, great! But why the coating? Bring it in satin finish. Other than that, bring back the Rajah *1* with alu frame and micarta like scales, but in CPM-3V! That would be bonkers!
The original Spectre looked so good like many of CS' collection of that era, but why was the blade dull?

[ericbarriosofficial]

I'm only interested in the arc angel. None of these folders have thumb plates 🤦‍♂️. Red Espada is nice, but i probably won't get one.

[Thecp]

The only 2 knives I'm buying this year are the Recon M1 and the Archangel. Cold steel killed it.

[lmcq]

4:10 thanks for mentioning the mid sized holdout! They used to make a midsized holdout but discontinued it. I dig the new Caledonian.

[FriedPi-mcyt]

Love the Caledonian.
Super glad to hear Cold Steel is making the Recon 1 with MagnaCut.
My wants from Cold Steel are…
A Cold Steel automatic
Voyager XL’s with a high end steel.

[austindrake]

That new drop point Spectre looks great! Nice to know it’s in 20CV blade steel and titanium bolsters/liners/pocket clip.

[joshchu]

CS bests BM on their own turf by simply copy&pasting on this round I consider.
and much thanks for DCA actually asked and confirmed the new AA was running on bushings, I've seen bladehq vids talks 10+ minutes around the BM necron and new AA, and None of them mentions anything about pivot constructions.
it's like the first or second most important thing bali buyers today would like to know about.
