    It has been a while since Cold Steel has grabbed my attention but they are tremendous users and hard work knives. Great for yard work and such. Thanks for the review JB and thank you for always putting the affiliate money back into knives to give a way!

    I like everything about this knife. I’ve got a decent cold steel collection, but I haven’t bought a Cold Steel knife since the company was sold. I think I want to add one of these to the collection. Thanks for the close look at it, buddy!

    I have had this in my cart SEVERAL times!! I keep going back and forth on the materials….does it really bother me..?? Do I really need better steel..?? 15 years ago I wouldn’t have given it a second thought….I LOVED the Cold Steel ProLite ….same materials 🤷🏼‍♂️ BUUUUUUT the AirLite is on Amazon for only a few dollars more, and I definitely prefer the materials on the Airlite

    • @BigRedEDC
      @BigRedEDC  Рік тому

      I hear you Jake! The pricing of the 4116 just doesnt make sense to me. Its not a bad steel but better steels at a better price just makes more sense.

    • @jakefromohiostate
      @jakefromohiostate Рік тому

      @@BigRedEDC oh for sure…it’s not an awful steel. But you can still get a ProLite on a handful of sites for $29….same exact materials. So if we add on inflation, maybe the Verdict should be $35 or so. Otherwise I’d rather spend a bit more to get the AirLite…heck, at Christmas it was down to $47 on Amazon!! That’s a great purchase! Don’t get me wrong I really like the overall design of the Verdict since they loosely based it on the Code4…but at that price (which isn’t crazy out of the range) there are better options. Who knows, maybe around Christmas it will drop also…maybe hit that $35-ish area.

    This is a much higher quality knife in hand than I expected. Other than my dislike for the non-neutral handle, it feels very Bugout-esque in size/profile and only about 0.5oz heavier for about the same size. If I didn’t know anything about knives, mechanisms, steels, brands, or downstream modification-and you blind tested me with this knife and a base model Bugout and asked me to infer quality-I’m pretty sure I’d say this knife. I had an unbiased/unknowledgeable kid say the same thing. If Cold Steel had put AUS10 (or 14c28n, Nitro-V) instead of the 4116 this knife would probably be a more popular Bugout alternative-it feels very solid and isn’t heavy. On sale, as Cold Steel knives can often be found, this is a compelling knife (especially since aftermarket scales aren’t available and this has no appreciable flex stock). Thank you very much JB!

    Handle material looks similar to that on a Bucklite. Haven't had a 4116 steel on a knife before. How bad could a Cold Steel be (I know that begs an answer haha)? All I have owned look menacing (Air Lite, Pro Lite). Thanks JB!

    I like the look but the lowest price I saw was $52 and to me 4116 is a $30 steel. It's better than the CR steels but definitely isn't $50-60. Cold Steel's GFN is some tough stuff though. I've done unspeakable things to Cold Steel blades with GFN and have been unable to break them. If my name gets drawn give the knife to Lacey over at cuttinglaceedc on Instagram
