Hey Joe, it is nice to see how the colors of the beautiful countryside around you change during the time. San mai in japanese can be translated as: 3 layers.
Great to see how well it did, before the steel was weekend before the steel pole of doom had its take at it, saw how much brick dust was flying compared to other tests, could tell it had a really good edge, honestly if the blade doesn't break after all that, then it's simply super steel, but impressive nonetheless, great job Mr. Joe
My conclusion: Fantastic stabber and pry bar, but no violent chopping. I have the SK5 version, but am looking at the SanMai Master and Magnum series. Cold Steel makes the best tantos. Such beautiful works of art!
8:23 That was heartbreaking. The knife did so well to this point, and the sandwich layered steel is supposed to stop exactly this type of failure. VERY interesting to see a fracture propagate all the way through the soft side steel like that.
Great Job Joe, Amazing how knives break so easy when you strike the thick side of the blade. Good thing to remimber and never use that side for any hammering. Really like how sharp San Mai steel is, and how it holds a edge for a longtime. Take Care!
Honestly a pretty impressive result, and interesting too. Seems like the laminated steels are a bit of a mixed bag and hard to predict. I can't get too excited about them for the money (and I'm not a fan of tanto style blades personally, just on looks). This knife is about 3 times the price of the SK5 version.
Ahhh! The sound of the blade edge scraping the bricks x_X! So bad that I just have to love it! I thought for sure it would break on the flex test. Strong tanto shape, strong cold steel company, strong VG-10 steel, nice knife. Can definitely see the strength of the edge with those 3-layers.
One tough knife it in my book held up amazing I owen alot if cold steel san mia steel and I love it I have the master hunter san mia Japan made on its way it will arive Friday im a collector I love cold steel but I also collect alot of other brands as well
@@chadlee799 yeah I have some fallknivens and cold steels laminates which I'm pretty sure the Japanese cold steel laminates and fallknivens were both made by hatori and I haven't had anything but good luck out of them. Use a fallkniven a1 and f1 everything and haven't even got anything more then a very small chip.
@@joex Correct me if I’m wrong , but it appears that the Cold steel Survivalist seems to be a bit of an overrated knife, the Tanto shape blades appears to be a more reliable choice regardless of steel type to some extent. My question to you is Cold steel San Mai and CPM-3V steels for Tanto blades? I assumed Cold Steel 3V Magnum Tanto XII was a better choice but now I’m questioning myself after watching your videos 😂
Great video as always, but don't forget to bend your knees when you are reaching down because if you don't, it will hurt your back (especially when you do hard work like this normally.)
I love the Recon Tanto. I have both the San Mai VG10 and the SK5. I am glad it met your seal of approval. I love using these knives for outdoor uses. The Recon Tanto is a great batoning and choping knife! Better than the SRK in my opinion. Thanks for the review Bro!
I have had a master tanto in vg-10 san-mai for years, it hasn't been a user but i just sharpened it and tought about doing some testing with it in outdoors... it's so beautiful and not really an outdoor knife so i didn't want to "ruin" the looks, but oh my this stuff seems to be tough.... i had no idea... meanwhile fallkniven is chipping out chunks of vg-10 just from average use...
I’ve been using RAT/ ESEE 4. I’m in the market for a more gimmicky knife. I love your tests. They really showcase the capability of different steels, as well as heat treatment.
Joe going up in the world nice blade good tactical blade lovely in the hand , I've always like the grip on these knives, but when Joe tests it something has to give it always dose that is what Joe dose best destroy , good watching Joe really enjoyed this video 📹, not cheap these knifes good on you , hail Joe hail Joe hail Joe 😀 👍 👏 😄 😉 👌.
Cold Steel's hollow grind, strikes again. But to be fair this is the preferred grind for this type of knife - better slicer and lighter. The tip didn't break 'cuz is saber-flat not hollow. Maybe you could do a test on another 3 layers laminated steel - Fallkniven A1x wich is a convex grind and should be more resilient.
Well your thesis just went to total shit.. he just tested the fallkniven A1 and the edge suffered major breakouts hacking on a deer antler and the blade delaminated on the brick. This Cold Steel san mai Tanto performed better in every test.
@@mikeborrelli193 I already watch the video. First of all, I asked for Fallkniven A1x, not A1, but it seem neither of you can't read. Second, the 38 year old knife performed very well at the lateral stress (neither the tip or the blade couldn't be snapped in wood). Antd the third point - I don't care about any knife companies , and I don't have any stacks on them, but I was curios about the new Lam. Cos of Fallkniven, as the Lam.VG-10 proved to be only a wood processing steel due to his brittleness/chipping ...
@@joex Bozo.. your test don't mean much anyways. Sure is good to find an idiot who destroys the knives in the most ridiculous and useless test, but is not like you test them in their application of use. You're Survival Silly's bitch, but you call other fanboys.. that's why you'll die a virgin. Dream on that you'll get a million subs with your attitude and accurate "tests"...
I have the camp 10, it's not terrible, it's not great. It definitely wouldn't last long in Joe's hands, the edge takes damage easily, I had an accidental strike against concrete that was nowhere near as hard as Joe hits and its blade took a chip.
Theres a guy that test ak 47, akoperatorsunion or something that uses a similer format. He doesnt just destroy them though he tests them. I'm interested in what a knife CAN DO not just what it can't. OK don't slam my Master Tanto 12 San Mai into a rock????? Uhhh Ohhh K. Good video maybe just do some let's see what it can do not just what it can't. I support these vids though and i've always found it strange nobody trolled Cold Steel by giving them a taste of there own medicine. Man, i use a Case Bowie a lot as a trainer and love slicing through soft stuff and seeing what it can do. I've started training with a Magnum Tanto 12 San Mai too and i baby my knives compared to these tests. I guess it gets you to the breaking point quick so you can say this ones stronger then the next or what ever but maybe buy another one and lets see what a knife CAN DO. Also a knife is an individual. Often a dud will break early one. I trust a knife thats been used (proof checked) and not abused. I do think i get something from these videos though and it does show how Cold Steel videos are propaganda. You could make the same videos with literaly any knife and play music and whatever. I think all this tells me more then watching stupid Yupies on UA-cam buy knives and never use them though. Peace
@@joex when the blade has given up, you could strip the plastic away and show everyone the construction of the handle. Many people have a perverted idea of making their own handle scales so that could be great info
@@joex what is your opinion is it worth it to get Magnum Tanto IX or XII ( 9 and 12 inches blades in San Mai ) in vintage AUS-8 steel made in Japan ? I mean those are very large knives, they are not for everyday use but they look great that big and they are still made in Japan . some guy is selling them but is asking a lot of money,for their price I could get 2 TRC Apocalypse knives in Elmax steel.
@@joex to be honest about San Mai blades from Cold Steel before I was thinking they are garbage because inner hard core steel is very tiny and outer cores are 420 stainless steel which is garbage. An year ago I saw some russian you tuber who tested all available Cold Steel Tantos,AUS-8,VG-1 and San Mai. San Mai was the worst on the test,AUS-8 won the test . But now after your test I see some San Mai benefits . your video is excellent !
Hi Joex, I have this simple question. I like the simple geometry of the blade and how sharp it's the recon tanto. What I really don't like about it is the handle, the rat tail tang , no metal finger guard, and we know this is a fighting knife it's a knife sometimes your life can depend on, it doesn't really need to be robust and heavy, but rat tail tang make me doubt, this is one major thing, second thing is, there's 3 different steeles in the versions of this knife, the rest is all identical , the difference in price is, $70 sk5 steel, $199 san mai vg10 and $220 for the 3v, no unbreakable steel that you know of. Which one you will be able to suggest for what they worth, quality, tactical use and the price ?
Es muy buen cuchillo, pero lógicamente todo se puede romper, y las pruebas esas son para ver cuando se romperá. Yo creo que un uso normal nadie va a tener problemas con esa pieza En mi canal reviso navajas y cuchillos pero no hago pruebas así. Un saludo!.
I can watch your videos for hours Joe. I hate to ask but I was hoping you could try a Maserin blade especially the Boar Hunter with the 440C 7.5" blade. Thank You !
hey Joe I have a suggestion for a new tip test - please consider it! The other day I was playing around with my Cold Steel Voyager, and slightly hit the tip to a marble table, and the tip got bent like fuck (did not break, but bent). I was super disappointed , and even thought that my 100 Euro Cold Steel if fake, but it seems to be legit (even more disappointment). So can you please try hitting the tips to a marble stone to see what happens? Thanks man
Joe X i'm cringing at these videos but you might be right, certain steels are promoted a certain way and rock well hardness is braged about and they talk a big talk then SNAP
Hi Joe, how about a few shows on cheap chinese, Taiwanese knives. Maybe harbor freight knives. They will probably be very short videos but still fun to watch. 😅
If the price drops a bit after Christmas, I'm gifting this to myself! I'm not sure there's a better stainless steel outdoor knife out there for the price.
Lol well putting it through metal car hoods & repeatedly banging it on steel and cinder blocks isn't a survival situation. This is a torture test. Penetration through any flesh or slashing, helping with camping, utilities etc. It would do just fine.
I have a Spyderco Native in VG10. I have owned and carried it for years (at least 15) and it is still my go to knife. On the positive side, at the end of test, it was now legal in CA.
@@joex that was a note to myself to remember not to beat my one on rocks and poles and yes I am your Mama and you've been breaking your toys again and I approve.
For Survival/utility/self defense I think this Recon Tanto and the SRK in VG10 would work just fine as well as with 3V steel of course.
i can agree on that!
3v is much tougher, unfortunately CS discontinued the 3V SRK
@@MB-jg4tr doesn't matter. VG10 like I said would do ya good. I have an AUS8A SRK too.

this is the best torture test of a car hood on youtube. If i ever buy another car, i want the hood to be made of this steel

"It cannot do feathersticks" lol

I reckon the recon tanto in sk5 may have held up better. For the price difference I would just go with the cheaper steel.
i would do the same!!
