Your love for these has me convinced to buy one. I need a hard use folder I can justify using and I know won't break. I collect big, beefy knives more than any others. Mostly on the tactical side. I need one of these in my life. Tanto for sure.
Yes it is! Personally, in my opinion, it's a deal! This AD10 is "Next Level!" It would cost more to make a Titanium Original Goat Scaled AD10. And, OG doesn't have Titanium, AD10, Backspacers, either... And, with the Military Discount, it is much less than the OG Titanium Scale Kit, including the cost of a CPM-S35VN AD10. So, yes, I feel this is a great deal. And, it's Collectible, too, since it's a "Demko" Limited AD10... This is the way to go for a Titanium AD10, in my opinion... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Yes! The AD15 Lite is awesome. :-) But, if you absolutely luv the AD15 Lite or regular AD15, I suggest that you try one of the Original Goat Scale and Skiff Bearing Kits; it will introduce you to what the AD15 is really capable of. Their Linerless Scales with Skiff's, well, it takes the AD15 to the next level. The AD15 is a "Awesome" Demko Folder. Get the OG Scale and Skiff's Kit and take it to the next "Level!!!" That's make recommendation that's based on my personal experience. :-) Enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto I bought it off thier Amazon store so I figured if I requested a replacement I would get one from the same batch. I returned it for a refund.
Right on. I like to buy from MidwayUSA.com, when they have Sales. Amazon and eBay, when buying popular Cold Steel Models, you have to be real careful, there's a lot of Counterfeits and Knockoffs on those Sites, bewarw... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Absolutely true. All of the Phosphorus Bronze and Teflon Washer Folders need to be Tuned & Lubed and broken in, in my opinion... Totally agree! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
The 5-Max is a must for all Cold Steel Fans, in my opinion. :-) If they ever come down, I'll get another. Cold Steel gave me a deal, I couldn't refuse, on the one I have; the 5-Max is "AWESOME!!!" I highly recommend it to those that absolutely luv the 4-Max! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
These are hard use folders that you can depend on in a dire situation. That's the way I think of Andrew Demko's Heavy-Duty Folders. They are the closet you can get to having a Folding Fixed Blade, in my opinion. They absolutely, "ROCK!!!" :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
My AD10 LTD is oit for delivery today. Really suprized they have any left. I really wanted a raw Ti but missed that. Havent decided is Im going to use it or just put it up. Really should just save it and use my other 2 AD10's or my AD20 Ti ffg. I have such a hard time just letting a knife just sit unused.
Right on! That's an excellent problem to have... :-) Myself, I am a Collector. So, I have a lot of awesome Knives that I don't use and just sit in my Safe. :-) My plan is to sell off my Collection, when I Retire, in a few years. That will give me a way to stay involved in my Knife Collecting Hobby. And, give me some extra funds in my Retirement; that's my plan... :-) Right on, Bro! That's a great problem to have... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@Kris_Stiletto My 10 was delivered and has a scratch onbthe blade and a big mark on the black coated handle. Disappointed to say the least. The one knife I wanted as a display and is messed up out of the box. I wish I have the self control to just collect but I have a hard time with it. The 10 I could have as a display since I have the drop point and tanto that I use. Hopefully GSM can replace it and I can actually have one worth displaying.
@S4Detroit I would contact them right away, before they run out... Sorry to hear that. Was it an open box? I wonder how QC missed that one??? Peace, Stiletto :-)
@Kris_Stiletto Nope it was factory sealed. The sticker was perfect before I peeled it up. I emailed GSM with all my info and pics of the problems. From what I have heard I shouldn't expect to ever hear back. Another guy is trying to return his and he is basically being ignored.
Call the Customer Service and speak to a person. I wouldn't rely on just emailing them... That really sucks... Cold Steel needs to improve on their Customer Service. An item like this should be perfect, without defects. That's kind of crazy that they didn't catch the flaws in your Limited AD10. I would expect them to give these special attention at the Cold Steel, Taiwan, Factory... Wow... I hope that Cold Steel can resolve your issue with your Limited AD10. :-( Peace, Stiletto :-)
beautiful knives..i don't have these..but i love my ultimate hunter in cts-xhp steel..i mostly carry fixed blades..but when i had to choose a folder..i would catty my ultimate hunter..greetings uddo
Nice collection. If you sold all those Cold Steel knives, you could actually buy a Demko full-custom. They feel entirely different than these Cold Steel knives. Way better.
Thanks for the tip. :-) :-) :-) I have Demko Customs... :-) :-) :-) And, these feel just as good, Brother; try one and see for yourself... I am sure Andrew and John Demko had their hands on these... These are not like the standard Cold Steel AD10 Models. No! These are on another level. They feel totally Custom and feel like they were made in a Custom Shop, by Highly Skilled Hands. That's what mine feel like to me, a Person that knows how hard it is to make a Tri-Ad Lock Folder feel "Super" smooth. Try one and see for yourself... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto I do own both the black TI and plain Ti versions. I'd never pass them up. They are superb. Great value and somewhat close to the feel of a custom.
Yes! The ones I have received are Top-Shelf and Flawless! I couldn't be happier with them. They have perfect fit and finish and function. It's hard for me to imagine an AD10 being better than one of these; mine are that nice. From what I've seen, these are awesome Collector's that will definitely increase in value once they are sold out. These are the Best of the Best, in my opinion. Right on! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Right on! :-) Yes, I saw this one when Cold Steel sent me a text about it. And, I went and looked at it, and I pulled the trigger! The AD10 is one of my top all-time favorite folders of all time! I had to get this one. And, I must say, "This Limited Demko AD10 absolutely ROCKS!!!" Fit and finish is "Top-Shelf!!!" These are absolutely amazing AD10 Folders; Cold Steel/Demko hit the Ball out of the Ballpark with this one! Enjoy #104! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@Kris_Stiletto Those hollows are hard to find. Found 1 guys that's willing to sell but it has blade rock when opened. So not sure if I'm going to buy it or not. Maybe I could swap some parts off of my others to get it solid.
@@S4DetroitBlade Rock??? None of mine have Blade Rock; they all lock up like a vault. I wouldn't buy that one, Bro. It might have other issues... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
The Cold Steel AD10 is made at the Cold Steel Manufacturer in Taiwan. The 1st 4-Max was US Made. The 2nd 4-Max was Italian Made. The 3rd 4-Max is made in Taiwan. The 5-Max is made in Taiwan. I hope this helps. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto yes!.. thanks, no taiwan made is good to me.... taiwan made is very good quality imo... i wont pay 300 for a chinese made product... just principle to me... ive got quite a few cold steel knives theyre great knives good value. thanks again
Oh, the Demko Knives Knives are made in the US, Taiwan, and Italy. The AD20 and AD20S are US Made in Wampum, PA. The AD20i is the International Model; it's Blade is ground in Italy. And, it's assembled in Wampum, PA. The AD20.5 Folders are made in Taiwan; I believe at the Cold Steel, Taiwan Manufacturer... Andrew Demko's Customs are made in Wampum, PA. And, the Blades are Custom Ground by Andrew Demko and the Handles are made by John Demko. Those are the most expensive Demko Folders. The MG (Machine Ground) Models are the one's I own. They are US Made in Wampum, PA. I hope this helps... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Ordered one back in June, item said “in stock”. Cold Steel (GSM) processed payment on my card for $399.99 + tax. Shortly afterwards, item said “back ordered”. Still haven’t received the knife. Called multiple times and their customer service keeps extending the expected restocking date. As of today, the item is SUPPOSED to be ready for delivery on August 16th. GSM is complete garbage…their customer service is some offshored company with a bunch of Asians that barely speak English. If the order isn’t fulfilled by the 16th, will report it as a fraudulent charge with my credit card company.
Sorry to hear that. The GSM, Cold Steel Customer Service is in Texas. Here's their contact information: GSM Outdoors 5250 Frye Road Irving, TX 75061 (877) 269-8490 info@gsmorg.com I hope you resolve your issue. GSM, Cold Steel Customer Service and Warranty Service and Repair is nothing like the Original Cold Steel Company's Customer Service. I would agree that if they refuse to resolve your issue, definitely stop charges or reverse charges on your Card. I hope all turns out well. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I appreciate the feedback. I’ve contacted that phone number several times. After multiple attempts at trying to understand the people answering the phone, one of them admitted that they were a third party customer service center. I don’t believe that they’re located in Texas, despite what the website says. I’m glad you were able to take delivery of one. Looks like a great knife, enjoy…
I can feel your pain. I had an issue with a Set of brand new CPM-S35VN, GSM, Cold Steel, and XL Talwars I purchased when they were first released 3 years ago. I eventually gave up on them. :-( This left a very bad taste in my mouth, about GSM, Cold Steel. And, I started trying out other brands, after that experience. Previously, I pretty much just bought and tried out Cold Steel Products and Knives; that's why I have such a large Old Cold Steel Collection, I started my Channel in 2014... The Old Cold Steel Company's Customer Service in Ventura, CA, was an awesome customer service. Anytime I had an issue, they would tell me to send the item in for Service Repair or Replacement. And, I would always get my item repaired or replaced within two weeks; they absolutely, used to, "ROCK!!!" But, since the takeover, that's one of the areas, I feel, GSM cut costs... Perhaps, even though I've been very fortunate ordering straight from Cold Steel, so far, it might be better to order from a Online Retailer with an awesome Return Policy, when buying Cold Steel Products... I have had a couple of QC issues with a couple of the Cold Steel Fixed Blades I purchased from MidwayUSA.com. And, I let them know, and they sent me return postage, and I returned them without any issues. It's important to have awesome Customer Service when you're buying New items sight unseen...

PVC? Is that the coating on the Limited, Demko, Black Handled, AD10? Right on. I haven't heard of PVC Coating, I'll have to find out more about it. Thanks Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
:-) :-) :-) Me, I am an Andrew and John Demko Fan. That's one reason for my Cold Steel Demko Collection. The Original Custom Demko AD10, AD15, 4-Max, and 5-Max are way out of my price bracket. So, I like to Collect the next best thing, the Cold Steel Demko Folders. :-) The AD10 is one of my all-time favorites. So, I have several that I have Collected to use and carry over the years. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto If I flick mine out hard it doesn't lock up fully. I'm talking horrible side to side play. I can see the triad lock sticks up so it's not fully engaging where the lock pin is at. But when I slow roll it out the spring puts enough tension on it to lock up fully (the lock bar sits lower where the lock pin is thus creating solid lock up). Does yours do this? Also mine came with a super uneven grind. It's kinda shit as a whole. I'm very disappointed as I have a regular ad 10 with OG scales. Love that one.
Wow! Contact Cold Steel right away! Yours sounds Factory defective. I would try to get them to replace it. Sorry to hear that. Mine is perfect. It's the nicest AD10 I have ever received or owned. Everything lines up perfect. The fit and finish, and function are all Top-Shelf. If yours isn't like that, contact Cold Steel and see if they'll let you return it for a replacement. I just hope they still have a replacement. :-( Peace, Stiletto :-)
