I was waiting for this.

Me as a guy who lives in Eastern Europe, Cold Steel was my first love regarding to knives. Unfortunately in my country I dont have too much brands like you guys in USA, so I bought few Cold Steel EDC knifes. They are expensive here, but very good quality knifes.

Great new series but it would be sweet if you turned these into Seth vs DCA formats where you each show your 5 picks

Cold steel knives rock. I wish other manufactures would make knives like cold steel.

The AK47 folder is highly underrated. S35VN DLC blade & an aluminum pommel. Andrew Demko design. So good

[scootertribeg]

Could add a budget amount for the 5 total as well. How far does $500 dollars go on one brand compared to another, for example.

I've been carrying Cold Steel blades for 20 years. Some of the best knives I have in my collection. My favorite is my Recon1 in CTS XHP. Holds an incredible edge and super durable

I picked every one that you did except the Lucky Two, of course as an old farmer, my formal events are things like machinery auctions. Great presentation, thank you!

The Ultimate Hunter does not get the love it deserves. It's an outstanding knife, especially if you do a choil mod on it.

The Cold Steel AD10 with its Tri-Ad lock is an absolute beast. Huge chunk of S35VN blade steel, held rock solid by the Tri-Ad--best lock on the market today. Its only rival is the Spyderco Manix 2 XL in Cruwear, also massive, and with a ton of good looks.

The value you get from Cold Steel knives is just incredable. Especially when you compare it to stuff like the taggedout in the last video…

[jwesley]

I started my knife collection with Cold Steel knives, specifically the old Twistmaster series with Opinel-like locking mechanisms.

[Jody]

Love this new series! Can't wait to see others!!!

[zachmcmahan]

Love the idea for this series. Could we possibly get Spyderco next?

[TheAustralianx]

This series is the best because it covers everyones interests, folders, choppers, fixed blades, you got it all in every video, you guys are on a winning series, this is the knife talk i like rather that just showing whats new

[littlemouse]

I don't understand much the obsession with "finger safe" locks the triad lock is one of the strongest locks out there and you hopefully have two hands so you can operate it without problems and without any risk for your fingers. I think it's the best choice for a hard working knife.

[deceptivepanther]

Great idea for a series. It might be interesting to see SOG next

[Pharto_Stinkus]

Ive always felt that the Code 4 is one of the most underrated knives in the hobby. I think that might be my big knife choice, if I was restricted to Cold Steel Knives.

[j.p.]

Very informative and well articulated, thank you sir. Great post

[shanecoursen]

First: I like the format of the video. Second: Between all that you have selected, and wherever I have chosen to go with Cold Steel (but haven't yet pulled the trigger), several of these are in my KC wishlist. Nice to know that all I really need is time & patience. And money. (Mostly money.)
