Thank you for your work, every one of your video is pure joy to watch 👍🙏

Madagascar . Survival . Umbrella . Ice machine . . Coffee . Got knife .

If it's heavier but you want to use it, ...grow stronger. Even a lesser Hanwei will beat Cold Steel, every time, in my own (meaningful only to me) somewhat learned opinion.

Ive been looking at various Bowies including the leather neck to pair with my tomahawk for FMA (Arnis). It looks like it would fit the bill, especially with a sharpened reverse swedge, not a fan of the tang even though its far more confidence inspiring than the rat tail on ka-bars.

This look very good. The only improvement I can think of is to have everything in one single scabbard/sheat.

Not sure what this knife is supposed to be for. I like the republic for an outdoors belt knife.

I've had very good luck with 4116 that cold steel uses.

One thing changed many knives for me. I bought a kit to make a kydex holster. Instead of holster i made a sheath. Then went back on Amazon bought some kydex. Now every knife i own is a custom. Being lefthanded i stayed away from fixed blades for years. People don't realize how important a sheath is. Basically it's the difference between having a useful tool on you, or having a knife in a drawer. Great video's sir i throughly enjoy your content. I also gotta say you look like your wrist has healed up very nicely. Been following for a while. Lol

Smart blade designs being held back by mediocre scabbards

The Outdoorsman is s very cool knife. I sold it because i didnt know what to use it for 😁 The SRK is better for the tasks i Need it for

I have the expensive version. Putting a complete new 19 degree edge on it improved the performance significantly.

I don't really like the black plastic handles but for that price one could add any handle they wanted really.

The lite version of the Outdoorsman reminds me a bit of the American tanto lite version. Lots of bang for the buck. :)

Wow! That blade comes alive in your hands. I thought it would be too big and cumbersome but it seems so swift and lively.

Nice shirts & reviews

Nice shirt mike thank for reviews and honesty

I don’t know, man. Odds are you pull that out you might end a fight before it begins. I don’t worry too much about the extended parts. Although mindfulness should be considered. I believe, God forbid, you use that on someone the fight will end quickly. As far as pulling it out in public I prefer to carry 2 knives. Usually a buck 110 or 12 or an Openel or something and usually something bigger for “martial” purposes. Good video. Great aspects. I really enjoy my XL Espada. Great for food prep and getting a laugh from friends at the barbecue and what not. It takes up a lot of real estate in your pocket but other that that it carries comfortably in my experience. And it came sharp, boy, let me tell you.

Fallkniven modern bowie ❤ is the way to go!!! ❤🎉

I carry a tops pig sticker everyday in the Great state of TEXAS ❤

more 19th century style sabers often have a very nice hand protection to encumbrance ratio. with some wideness near the top but usually slimming down into a single bar at the bottom of the handle. a lot more free to wear and weild while still offering pretty good protection for the most vulnerable parts of the hand.

Buen cuchillo 👍

Another great review. I discovered your channel recently and noticed you are on a cold steel kick. If you dont have a counter point XL, MidwayUSA has a great deal on them as I am writing this ($35).

could you make a video about "small" CS counter point folder?

THANK YOU, I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS NKIFE FOR YEARS, NOW I WANT ONE!

Moving has a way of showing you how much useless stuff has accumulated over the years.😅I'm not a big fan of these rustic looking blades with their artifical and stereotypical forged look. In fact it's a reason why I avoid them. I may miss a hidden gem once in a while because of this.

Interesting, my friend. Hope the move didn't take too much out of you.

Yes; good stuff, Mike (as usual). ☺️ I was wondering; do you think you’ll get around to make a video about food-prep - with your different types of knives? It doesn’t have to be a ’big production’ or anything - but you’re always mentioning it; so it would be interesting to see some demonstrations, you know… 😌 Btw; now is the season the do such things outside! ☀️😎 PS: No pressure; we know that you’ve got other things on your plate… 😌

Good stuff, Mike. Personally, I've never been much of a fan of thick machetes. My $20 '18 inch Imacasa Pata De Cuche is by far my favorite. Thing has cut everything I put in front of it for the past 10 years. It's thin and extremely durable and takes a wicked scary edge from a file. Good stuff.

In my opinion, you ruined that knife's best feature: the pointy knuckle duster.

It's not even a steel sub-hilt .

nice review!

Hey rizzzo, what’s the best style of blade for a left handed weapon for a right handed person? I’m thinking the tac tops karambit.

Always good to find the knife that fills your needs, so do you feel about new cold steel manufacturing products post Lynn Thompson ?

Awesome vid here, as usual ! Cheers 👍

THANK YOU , I WON'T BE BUYING ONE NOW

Nice Video as allways. Could you test the new Joker Bowie 9.45 in N695 Steel? It looks like an awesome Bowie.

Hope to see the Tanto Lite reviewed or compared to this.

Wish they'd release an additional version with a slightly longer blade.

Excellent review! I’m buying one 😁

Bill Bagwell style, "Hell's Belle", Bowie! Everything your blade is and everything your blade should be, because yours was designed by the military, which has always failed in their blade designs for knives, not just our military, but everyone throughout history, because they think with their purse!

Why do you insist on making such mean faces at your testing mediums? All they wanna do is help you assess you blades and they are met with such disdain from you .

They sell a bunch more if they would ged rid of the stupid cable tang construction.

Something that really helped me enjoy my spartan more was grinding down the hook on the pommel, essentially giving it a similar shape of the voyager xl series, just in a smaller package. Hope this helps!

I have a sword that was made by Hanbon Forge to look like a "kai gunto" that has some major inaccuracies (The kabutogane is totally different, and so are all the metal fittings on the saya) which have only started to bother me recently. I live in Oregon, so I contacted the Fred Lohman company because I know they make repro shin gunto fittings (so I could have it converted to an NLF style gunto) but when I reached out, I received an email back saying that the company has shut down for the foreseeable future. Do you know of anyone in the PNW that might be able to install reproductions of those parts I mentioned? I know there's also repro Kai Gunto saya fittings on ebay, but I'm assuming shin Gunto parts are easier to come by.

you think you might ever review the Natchez?

I just got my large G10 espada and am carrying it and it's just the right size. I believe that the xl version is too big and heavy to edc but I will probably still get one for the novelty of it

Mike thanks for your commitment to doing these excellent and intelligent reviews. I think your knife channel is among the most interesting in having diverse types of blades for martial applications. You have a very interesting choice of blades, even though I picked on you for buying a Laredo Bowie in 4036 stainless a while back. I've had lots of problems with Cold Steel this year and I really need to expand into other knife brands to expand my collection. Mike I know they are pricey but check out WORKTUFF GEAR if you get a chance.

16:55 This is a finishing knife. Designed purely for dispatching game. I've seen more than one us video mistaking this pattern as a fighting knife due to its shape and gaurd. But its traditiknal in Spain and Portugal for hunting bosr with dogs where dispatching with a gun could injure the dogs.

If I’m understanding correctly, you don’t like liner locks on knives but you should give the Ti-Lite a go.

Such weird sheaths !?!! I had been looking at these when they came out but had no clue the sheaths were so strange (bad). Kind of on a bit of a cold steel boycott the now anyway but thanks for the video !
