Made from Grivory™- the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic, and stronger than even the super tough Zytel® we have used in earlier models- they are UV and heat stabilized, making them impervious to the elements.

This video could have been 4 minutes shorter if they didn't show him peeling off individual pieces of cardboard...
There I was in a ritzy nightclub in Beijing. Knowing better, I traveled with two CS darts taped to my ankles. Having been drugged by two escorts, I began to be harassed by two members of the local Chinese Triad. After refusing to pay my
exorbitant bill, I found myself in a deadly street fight in the alley. I swiftly pulled my two darts, landing blow after blow. Luckily, I had my grappling hook and climbed out of the alley unscaved. Thank you Cold Steel for another awesome product!
hey bro I was the shorter Triad thug!! I tried to shoot at you with a rusty tokarev but you threw one of the delta darts down the barrel and the pistol exploded in my hand! I had to get 2 fingers sewn back on ya jerk...
Thats rad
No
I was there in Beijing, you shit your pants and because it dripped down your pants you couldn't manage to grab the darts at your ankle, you accidentally cut yourself and we had to bring you to the hospital, the next day you came to pay the money you owed and you cried like a baby.
Just imagine the damage this guy could do to a double bacon cheeseburger!
At least I know these would be useful in the cardboard uprising.
*_When the Cardboard-Uprising occurred in 2070, Humanity had no chance. A war followed which exterminated over 80% of Earth's population - and the Cardboard began to infiltrate every last Human bastion that existed. At last the war between Man and his greatest foe, Cardboard, had come to a head - then came the Grivory™-Warriors - men whose skill with a plastic blade was matched only by the size of their gut. It was then that the tide of the war against the Cardboard had finally shifted. And thus ended the Dark Times - and Humanity stepped into the age of a new Dawn... a Grivory™-Dawn._*
Or they could use flamethrowers. And I don't see any reasons why a regular steel knife can't do the job.
The plastic blade alone won't do it, even against appliance cardboard. You need to be a massive meat head too, that way you have the half a ton of force behind you to take out that cardboard...
Hot, hilarious, and like's knives......u Girl, have it ALL!
And remember kids, never attempt to mug Cold Steel employees. You will end up meeting the coroner.
id much rather see them testing the sharpness of the blade, stabbing cardboard doesnt really prove anything... i could stab through cardboard with a screw driver, does that make it sharp?
*****
That's not the point of these knives. They aren't meant to be sharp, they are last ditch defense knives. Screwdrivers aren't sharp, but wouldn't you rather have a screwdriver to defend yourself with than nothing?
Alright fair enough but I would still like to see more cutting done with the blade to see how sharp it is in that respect
Awesome :)
my god haha
I've owned 2 of these knives: sai pan and tanto and was shocked at how great they are for only $15 knives. I've read the other comments and let me try to help. They are ment for 2 purposes: 1.. No metal detectors can read them (for that reason, carrying one is illegal in some cities) and #2 they are very very light and great for personal protection at home. When it comes to needed a knife that you hope you'll never need to use: this couldn't be better .. Lighter knife means less fatigue for your arm in a fight; its strong enough to last when you need it most and it's super sharp. This wouldn't be used as a utility, hunting, or camping knife but would be great under your pillow or in your glove box. Only flaw .. Blade is exposed as nothing is sold to cover it.. Probably why it's only $15.
Jason Henry what model do you recommend me ?
Virgin: Level 21
Dear ***** i have been a fan-addict (fanatic) since late 2013. Your amazing proof videos are what first attracted me to your company and shortly after i purchased my first product (5.5 vaquero plain edge) And $800+ later i still cant get enough and doubt i ever will, i have completely abandoned all other companies since and have been solely carrying CS, my only regret is not discovering mr thompsons company earlier, im very excited about 2015s line up but it would be amazing if you guys would produce the delta and jungle darts and the battle ring in a steel version even if it was only 4116 krupp i have no doubt in my mind they would sell, if you could simply mention this to mr thompson i would be eternally grateful (because the knife would probably last for an eternity haha)
Thank you mr camera man and to every employee at every cold steel factory.
Best wishes from another satisfied consumer
As a Good customer I love what you do also.
As much as I like Cold Steel, I can't help but laugh when they check their mail with these knives with heavy metal music playing in the background.
3:20 .. Tactical Box Opening ..
I seriously can't help chuckling a little at the juxtaposition of the badass music and the mundane sounds of opening a few envelopes and small packages.
they are the most affordable, reliable and easy to carry or hide for someone who don't intend to use them other than in a emergency. they are last ditch solution
plus they make really awesome letter opener.
I never leave home without being armed. And among the weapons I carry, a Delta Dart is ALWAYS among them.
The Delta Dart is a fancy prison shank.
Kevin C I made my own delta dart at home this morning, I rubbed my toothbrush handle across the cement pavement until I got the perfect shape lol
Same here. Very underestimated weapon. Show stopper for sure.
I'm sorry but what the hell was the point of the karambit opening the package test? Is it really difficult for a knife to open a package?
USE IT ON FLESH!
Theres full tang, partial tang, and then there's godam f*cking cold steel tang!
I love how at like 3:10 everything takes a turn for the worst.
"I need to stab some stuff like a boss, oh wait, I forgot to open my packages"
i seriously thought this was going to be a line of sunglasses that "make you look like a total badass while cutting ropes, cardboard, and big chunks of meat"
How do you sharpen these things? With a regular whetstone?
You basically can't. But they are like 10 bucks so if it got to an unusably dull state I would toss it and just buy a new one.
These knives aren't meant for regular use.
Okay, legit impressed with the Tanto and wood block.
@Ferris Bueller I have the CS Voyager XL tanto and I bought it specifically because the tanto blades have thick spines to make batoning wood better. The tips of tantos do seem stronger than other styles too.
@Ferris Bueller I wonder the same thing myself. After trying to edc a sog tanto to see what was up, it was ok at most things. It excelled at nothing besides poking through. Couldnt get back to a nice stout clip fast enough.
They are not for cutting. You can put a little sharp-ish edge on them with just another knife.
You're telling me that if I use the FGX CAT TANTO I own against a home intruder and sewing machine stab his throat and eye sockets with all my force he's going to leave my house alive? Is a plastic knife my first choice? Of course not. I own firearms for that stuff.
But anyways, keep on believing whatever you want I guess.
Who are you trying to impress?
can you still sharpen these knives with conventional knife sharpeners?
Bought a few of these years ago from Cold Steel, some for the Car & others for around the house in case the SHTF, Should happen, Great as a carry sauce also, they will go through just about anything, within reason Great product from CS.
*Very wise! :)*
The Delta Dart is a (plastic) replica of the SOE-issued wrist dagger of WWII. It was used by British agents operating in occupied France. Something up your sleeve, as it were. If those agents were operating today, they'd find this version very handy.
Lol. That was funny. These would be quite good for thrusting, but I think cutting is pretty much beyond these things. Still cool though, and at a good price.
dude i litterally born in this year
If I ever have get into a fight with a ups truck I know which knife I'm reaching for...
6:44 HULK SMAASH :D
I love when santa claus breaks through the tiles
Hi, I have a question:
I am a security guard.
I want a very small knife (maybe 4 inches overall length) that is undetectable by metal detectors (even concealed somehow if possible). Preferably with some case I can pull it out from fast or having a clip.
1) What do you suggest?
2) Are the cases of undetectable knives also undetectable (logically yes I say, otherwise what the point right?) or is it possible that a manufacturer overlooks this (sounds stupid, but you never know)?
Thank you for your time.
outofthebox7 these are 100% undetectable no metal parts other than a removable “key ring” you can take off. I carry the delta dart when I go
To concerts or other places that prohibit knives. They don’t come with sheaths but you can order a sheath separately
For just a few bucks. They are outstanding especially for the price
When I first heard of combat knives with polymer blades, I laughed but when I saw this I take it all back.
Wow ! When I first saw them I thought they were just trainers, but now I understand they're really usable. Going to do shopping next week-end :) (love the skean-dou)
At 1:18 I thought he'd cut himself for a second there. o_o
I'm I interested in the Karambit bit needed to know if the edge is sharpened
the edge is sharp but it doesn't come with a sheath
5:57, man that was loud!!
Lynn Thiompson looks badass on the thumbnail for this video. But not only do he LOOK badass, he IS badass :)
not only that but I notice after rewatching the video that pretty much stab and slice if from a position of power-meaning its the best base senario for you-stabbing straight down when most likely you will be facing a standing and moving opponent (unless you knock them out first then stab them...which is murder.) so you are looking at forward jabs and side to side swipes. But they are last ditch effort knives, so if you get disarmed the first time maybe you will have better luck the 2nd time.
@mojothemigo like i said you don't know me or my accomplishments. survival has been my life since before i could ride a bike, i agree that there is a difference between an experienced outdoors-man and a survival expert, whether its Alaska, Utah, California, Texas, Florida, etc. urban or wilderness, i am completely self reliant, i have proven myself in almost every primitive fire making method i've heard of and many other skills, i will be getting wilderness medicine certified soon enough.
@greyravendreamwalker please prove me wrong. street rep is better than any advertisement and right now i recommend buying crkt, kabar, sog, i am a survival expert and a vast amount of people buy them due to my recommendation. please let me recommend cold steel. but first i need real SOLID proof. if i get it your name will mean a lot more to people in Fort Myers FL. i will even buy a something that you cant sell due to defects i don't care about looks.
@PandaMagicFTW i dont remember the system's name, but in alot of airports they use in nowaday they arent metal detectors. they like, take a type of photo that can see every item, down to each pube lol. the security then goes all over your virtual body pic and through your bags without actually going through anything. i've seen people try this actually. well, one person anyways. didnt work, not saying it couldnt work. just not for that guy i suppose
@kingmigget They obviously can't market it for that. But, that's one of the main reasons why people buy plastic knives. It's because metal detectors can't detect them. Why not just buy metal ones then? They stab better and cut WAY better. Of if you wanted it to be lightweight then why not high grade aluminum? So it can actually cut. These plastic ones can be taken through security.
there's a reason most states ban these btw, mostly because they bypass metal detectors. (including airports) and the description even says they can be tucked or taped anywhere. who needs to tape a weapon exept someone who is hiding it? the ONLY real reason i can think of for having one of these, is loop-holes in the current law system, hence only criminals or those with criminal intents will have these.
Goes without saying that a blade made from resin can not be honed to the same kind of cutting edge as high quality steel. The demonstrations only serve to show that they will tolerate that they are useful for some cutting and stabbing action even so. The big thing about this kind of knife, is that it does not show up on scans as metal. Basically a pretty rotten idea, securitywise.
i do not purchase cold steel knives anymore due to 2 reasons #1 i received a broken tipped tanto spike directly from the front counter of a store, which means it was shipped from the company as such, #2 they have a shitty warranty, #3 the spike i ended up with had the physical edge completely break off and also #4 cold steel prices are shitty for the steel quality you get...way to advertise to people that know nothing about cutlery steel. ill stick with SOG and Ka Bar
if they are all none metal they cant be detected in an airport, and they are available to the public so its easy to hijack a plane and crash it to your favorite location. i mean that is one scary thought, maybe i am just worrying like some people when the glock came out, but still this makes it possible for me to go to the airport go through security and into the plain and once there well you know the rest.
the one things that worried and interested me.
the last tai pan demo where he does a hammer fist into ply wood, you see the pointed pommel as he focuses his strike, when they show the bottom it has been flattened, im wondering if the grivory would deform under extreme pressure such as that. i would be carying one of these as a non leathal weapon source, and dont want to risk that happening to mine...
I may reconsider. But i have read a lot of negative reviews on places like amazon and other sites. I bought a steel Gerber instead which is fairly light but I haven't been carrying it. But a few weeks ago a dog nearly attacked me (so much for leash laws-and I won't feel bad about leaving fluffy dead in the road with my hands or a knife if it lunges at me).
Man...that cardboard didnt have chance....i'm pretty sure I can get similar results with my sharpie marker... How about we see some penetration on some human like tissue. Perhaps a pig carcass like they use in deadliest warrior. I dont want one of these if its only good for opening envelopes. Was looking for something light when I go jogging at night.
You guys need to understand that these weapons are basically made of plastic (pretty amazing), so they are lightweight and can also pass through metal detectors. You can't expect even the strongest mixture of plastic and fiberglass to be more durable than metal. So, for future reference, research about something before you you make rash conclusions.
@SuperLongbeard i bought it from a store that showcases every brand...they couldnt afford to fake it...i really dont want to put their name up because they sell so many other great items...but no they are kinda like a walmart for knives and they have different booths for different brands..but yea i get what you are saying about the weird shit.
@karkkosvolfe so it just happens to be that whenever i go into an airport i cant pass through until i've removed everything metal from my body? those gates you walk through to get to the terminals, yeah those are metal detectors. they may not be the wavy things that you use on beaches but when did i say they were?
A tool is something for a specific purpose. A weapon is merely a tool used to kill, injure or maim. The purpose of these is self defense, thus actually, they are undeniably weapons. As such they shouldn't ever be used for anything other than making videos like this and actual self defense! ;)
I'm sure if I throw all my strength into it will...but damn. I run 20+ miles and I may not have the power to drive this thing home like bubba up there after running that far with a backpack. I prefer something that cuts easily. I will just carry that steal blade I have for now on my long runs.
I got the karambit, and I the blade is also grivory. Which confuses me, what's the point of the knife if it has a plastic blade? I'm not really complaining, i didn't pay a whole lot for it, and its still pretty cool, but I don't understand its purpose. The point is wicked though
@greyravendreamwalker There is a difference between a "survival expert" and an expeirienced outdoorsman. You have to put in a lot of years befor you call yourself an expert. Yeah, I'm sure you know knives to a degree but I wince when I hear 18 year olds call themselves experts at anything I wince.
@kingmigget Oh, yeah I've heard of that system. I think most airports still use the metal detector type though, since I travel alot and I've never came across those before. But, yeah, you wouldn't be able to bring it through the 3D picture type, it's too difficult.
@fireball676 Cold steels selling point isn't especially their quality, but the weird shit they have for sale. If I really needed a knife I would forge a simple but good one myself rather than buying it.
About that tanto, though, I have heard a lot about counterfeit cs knives. Did you check for that?
Wouldn't it be funny if these same effect on knives as glocks do on guns. Get over hyped by the police and than gangs. Then Bruce Willis's character in diehard 5 says how he encountered this super deadly knife that can get pass airport security. Shit would be hilarious and make me lol.
@thegoldenarmy0495
They are injected molded fiberglass reinforced plastic, so they are cheap, yet strong and lightweight...
You only will need to use a self defense knife once in most cases, so these are perfect for those people on a budget.
These knives might not make it as your average knives in general, but they have very unique potential. This may be the new generation of assassination weapons O.o I mean no disrespect but that is a very intimidating concept.
@RoHbotic its not about how i use it or whatever, the problem is their test: its not hard to cut or penetrate hard targets. To prove if a knife is worth its money it should be testet against soft and unstable targets.
big dead, you stabbed through some cardboard and plywood, i'm a huge fan of cold steeland own several of your products, but this is just not helping make a point. i can to everything on this video with a steak knife.
Yeah, there's no way you could convince me that these aren't specially made for illegal purposes.
Specially designed so they don't set off any sort of detection, and small enough to be concealed anywhere.
~Frosty.
I have 2 of them but I prefer metal blades for trust my life, I know people in prison make effective knifes/blades with low quality materials, so in the proper hands can be a lethal weapon.
@yuzukirules well. the actual karambit they make [tiger claw] is a realy great knife im not here to promote them but they make great knives, and if this is insulting then look at the vid for tiger claw
it looks like the back end is more dedly than the frontt, since all i saw was a bunch of random cardboard shanking and wood breaking with the pommel end. wheres the slicing? wheres the meat?
Fat guy comes into school one day... "CALL ME FAT AND GIVE ME A WEDGIE AGAIN BITCH!" he says, while brandishing a knife.. "hmm this knife stuff might have its uses maybe ill start a company"
YES! finaly i can oppen my mail!!!! THANK YOU COLD STEEL!!!!!! no but really they dont seem to be showing off the sharpness as much as there steel knives are these not as sharp as the steel ones?
they have to work way to damn hard to get those boxes open. If it's that difficult to open a box how the hell are we supposed to belive they will open a person if we get in a self defense situation.
It's kind of crazy what Cold Steel PLASTIC knives can do. The metal ones are apocalypse ready. Godzilla ready....
I want a Sword (Katana) made of High impact plastic like these.. one that will hold an edge and put Steel to shame! i mean imagine, they got plastic now that is stronger/lighter then STEEL
hey cold steel i have a question... are any of the nightshade series illegal to carry in california?
thats the one concern i have on wether or not i will buy one or more... thanks
Some of these would make badass looking letter / package openers, But if your looking for something to defend yourself with, spend the extra few bucks and buy something made of steel.
@comingviking If i remember correctly they are made with a small metal cylinder in the handle area to keep them from being illegal and brought into airports and courthouses and the like.
i was throwing the "fgx jungle dart" at a tree and at the third throw 2 millimeters of the peak broke off :/ showing how something works against cardboard doesnt proof anything :/
same here. bought 4 of em, spent about 70 bucks canadian. not really good for anything. only reason i haven't asked for a refund is i dont wanna pay for the shipping. such a rip off.

It's lighter than metal, will never rust, might pass through a metal detector,
-But it will never achieve the sharpness of any metal knife, and isn't *as* strong as metal
That the knives can pierce is cool and all, but besides for letter opening, realistically what can you expect to be able to do slashing wise with, say, the Tai Pan?
lol if you really think about it we are watching grown men stab cardboard with plastic knives to rock music. haha but they are nice quality and they are cool. :) 5 stars
Whyd he nail a knife into a piece of wood with a hammer? When would i ever desire to do such? As well as stab card board..... i broke tile before sevral times by accident. Its easy to do. So the guy useing the butt of the knife as blunt impact to break a few brittle pieces of tile doesnt impress me. Screw that...... and bending the knife to prove it wont break? Nice. But now you have a freakin bent knife! Why would you spend all that money on one of theres and do that. Bad marketing video.
I'm getting the Skean Dhu for self defense :D I always wanted a Skean Dhu, since i am very interrested in the history of the knife. But the ones you can buy with all the decorations on, is really low quality :(. But then i saw this :D Can you please post a video with the Brave Heart, or the Nightshade Skean Dhu in a video for it self? Would really like to see more of what this knife can do :D
Are the blade and handle made of the same material, is it all one solid peice? and how well does the blade keep an edge? I'm assuming the tanto comes very sharp from what I've seen, I'm simply curious to how long it stays that way. I have no experiance with plastic or ceramic blades but I like the looks of this series and I own several cold steel knifes so I like em. I want the tanto, anyone know of any good sheaths for it? I'd hate to carry it around in my pocket.
if you wanted to look badass in a bad neighboor hood take out your FGX TAI PAN and use it to cut a string from your shirt.. that outta keep the muggers away
I'm definitely getting the karambit just for that purpose. The only problem is opening the box to get to the box opener... Nah, but I'm still gonna buy it.
LOL at all the effort that went into opening a box. Any decent steel knife would have done the job in a third of the time. Those are purely weapons, not tools.
And what is REALLY great about carrying all of these, if you actually had to use it for defense, you get to explain to the world that these "things" don't fit the part of a "weapon with intent". The lawyers will have a field day with you. I'll stick to a plain looking knife instead of some crazy mall ninja looking thingie...
Well, these little guys have been around before 9/11 and all they took with them were box cutters, so I'm not worried about that.
Cold steel has purposely said they are defensive knives that can be bought cheap and stored in humid climates for potential SD situations. Frankly, I kind of like the idea of knife that doesn't cost much being hidden away for a rainy day.
I have 4 cold steels the Kobun, the FGX CAT Tanto,The GI Tanto and the Tanto lite and they all have been used and abused I will only buy Cold Steel
Just saying, you should never carry any sharp/fixed objects in your pocket without a sheath. You can probably custom make one for this particular knife
@kingmigget yes except for the fact that none of these are steel....or ceramic...... and are made of high quality polymer....which is essentially plastic
@TheNickhis agreed, but you'd think that they would have found something more interesting for a professional demo than dramatic letter opening.
@whitewulf33 its all plastic, so its illegal:( you can still buy it, but i dont recommend it because when they catch you, youre in big trouble
@awesomeloftus they are not serated so its showing how its sharp and they are only like $15 but you can buy them for like $9 at other websites
I just ordered the battle ring dagger in this series, and wouldn't you know that it's the ONLY one in the set they don't display in this video...
i like how they show the nightshades opening boxes so they can try to show that these can be used for anything else than stabbing someone haha
If these are plastic then wouldn't they be invisible to airport security scanners? O_o just a little concern, love the knives though :)
@kingmigget Perhaps, but...will it blend?
(...or hijack a plane? ^_^)
Also, if you're of that persuasion, they have something for you too
