Stiletto's Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII Comparison Video Between The San Mai And 3V Models
Вставка

- This is just a quick comparison Video of my two Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII Fixed Blades. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
This is where I purchased my New 3V Magnum Tanto XII; it was just $219.99 at the Optics Planet:

I just bought the 7.5" Master Tanto in San Mia a few days ago. I paid $219 at a local knife store. Absolute perfection 🥰 💞 👌!
Yes, all of the Magnum Series Blades are absolutely Beautiful Fighting Fixed Blades; all of the Magnum Series. In my opinion, the San Mai Blades are perfect for these types of Fighting Fixed Blades. Well done. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Since Cold Steel changed hands, their overhead would have gone down, with savings passed on to John Q. Public. That’s a very good thing. As to left over inventory, Cold Steel’s not lost quality, nor superb customer service. The Cold Steel Magnum Tantos, both San Mai III and CPM V3, remain outstanding fighting knives, though the new iteration with CMP 3V is the superior steel. For self defense, this weapon gives reach, speed, and abilities not seen in bulkier, heavier, and shorter knives. The shorter the engagement, the slightly lower probability of injury, or death. For those that are older, less hale and hearty, the low weight, slender grip, longer reach are force multipliers. When a firearm is not the best choice, or if it’s not available, the Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII CPM V3 is an ideal utilization of speed, lethality, and versatility. As blades go, price-wise/superb craftsmanship are concerned, this blade is unmatched. True, you can pay more, lot’s more, and get extraordinary training, but for the average man or woman today, who don’t have those luxuries, the Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII CPM V3, with study and practice, can give you an edge you otherwise might not have considered. There are quite a few retailers selling this fine blade, Amazon, not the least of them. Never forget the blade- there are times and places where it is still superior to firearms…
Amen, Brother; I totally agree. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto The Cold Steel logo always had the tanto blade (from the master Tanto) through the middle and your logo has the clip point of the outdoorsman ... and that was introduced post the GSM acquisition. Sorry to break it to you but what you have right there is post GSM and any real fanboy would know that ...
I just bought a San mai last night. It’ll be my first cold steel.
Now, that's an awesome first, Bro; enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I got a 3V on the way. I am very motivated about doing table top reviews also. Thanks for your video!
Right on. So far, I like 3V. And, I will look forward to seeing your Reviews. Right on! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Somewhere around 9:45 I finally saw the markings.
Good job Stiletto, thanks a bunch.
This really helped me a lot.
Right on, I am always glad to help out. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Great video bro. Had to refer back to it cause I just picked the 3V Magnum from a private seller, a good friend of mine as a matter of fact. These Tanto's are one excellent knives!!! Great video too btw. Helped me know what I was getting from different perspective. I actually feel bad for my friend having to let it go...
Right on. I always like knowing I was able to help. :-) Enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Greetings from Commiefornia. You deserve more views, great content on all your videos!
Glad you like them! Thank you. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Just ordered the 12" 3v last night, only paid $167- I have wanted a cs tanto fixed blade for about 30 years, very excited
Right on. It sounds like you found a great bargain. Enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I like your table there btw..cool antique look to it.
Nice patina.
Thank you so much! It's the same Table I've been using since I started my Channel, about 10 years ago. :-) Thank you for watching. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
This and the Master tanto are two of the nicest knives ever made. I have them both
They are among the best, in my book... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Two Awesome Blades!
I have to agree. My Cold Steel Magnum's, Recon's, Kobun's and Old Oyabun's, Tanto Lite Tantos are my number one choice for Home protection Fixed Blades. and, the Magnum XII Series, out of all of those I just mentioned, "RULES!!!" Absolutely agree! And, thank you for the compliment and for watching! Peace, Stiletto :-)
1i have the 3v on the way....i hope hop hope hope it comes with the old box and is not a knockoff (Amazon) so im going to check mine very closely with the markings on yours
Right on! The 3V Model is sweet. But, so is the San Mai Version, too... :-) just note that mine are from the Old, Original Cold Steel Company. The New GSM, Cold Steel Company has different markings. I haven't seen a New GSM Magnum Tanto. But, I woulda bet that the New Magnum Tantos have New Markings... If you're getting an older one, then, mine would be good to use as a reference. :-) Note: The New Cold Steel Models are nice, too... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I bet you said a dozen times those knives were made before GSM took them over. We got it after about the 5th time..... sheesh
LOL :-) :-) :-) Right on! Thanks for watching. LOL :-) :-) :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Curious, shouldn’t San Mai have a Clay Tempered edge ?
No. This is a VG-10, Japanese San Mai (3 Layer) SS Blade. It's made by Forge Wielding 3 Layers of Steel together. In this case, with VG-10, you have an inner core of VG-10, SS, for Edge Holding, a outer layers of Japanese, 420J, SS, to give the Blade Toughness and added Stain and Corrosion Resistance.
San Mai Steel used to be considered very Premium, before the time of Powdered Steels... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
VERY NICE!!!
Right on, I knew you'd like this one... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
🐈⬛ we ❤️ the kitty!
Juno absolutely luvs making Videos. She gets so excited when I say my introduction. She knows it's Video time... She likes seeing herself on TV, when I review the Video before I release it. She likes watching TV, especially, when she's on it. :-) Juno thanks you for watching. :-) Meow, Juno :-)
Do you keep them out of the sheath?
I store them in the boxes they come in, in my safe. I try to keep them the way they came. The one's I use, I keep out. But, my collection of Cold Steel Magnum Tantos and San Mai Fixed Blades in their boxes, in my safe. When I Retire, I plan on selling off my Collection as I need extra funds for whatever I need. So, I try to keep them as nice as possible... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto fair doos. :)
is it ok to edc this knife?
:-) :-) :-) Everyday Carry??? :-) :-) :-) Yes, in the Apocalypse... :-) :-) . Peace, Stiletto :-)
I edc a recon tanto I think its reasonable
7 1/2" blade
Where do we buy it from?
The 3V came from the Optics Planet. And, I cannot remember where I purchased the San Mai; the San Mai, I have owned for a long time, now... You'll have to look for my original Video I made of it... The original Video for the 3V was put out last night... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I bought the last 3v one on optics planet... sorry not sorry 💪🗡
@@08mustang651 i nabbed the one right before you then.
Right on Bro! I always luv hearing I was able to help out my Viewers with finding awesome sales and deals on the items they want. Right on! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Have a great barbecue evenings with those blades 🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩👍🤩!
Right on! And, thank you for watching. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
As top super
Thank you for watching. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Call me crazy..
I got that 12 in master tanto xii in 3v, THEN modified the tip to be a more traditional willow leaf style without the hard corner..
Yes I did.
It was really difficult and took a long time of careful hand honing until it was the best it could be.
Now, I like it much better. It cuts better, is sharper, and most importantly, penetrates (stabs) much much better.
Also...
You will really hate me now if you haven't yet, lol,
I cord wrapped the handle (diamond style) with bank line making the handle thicker and vastly improving the grip (I have large hands).
I can always easily remove the wrap as it is directly over the standard manufactured handle.
It's big now, not for everyone but my hand won't slip, and it's waterproof.
I've been known to EDC the finished product especially in the summer with shorts when it's less convenient to carry the trailmaster (in 3v of course. .lol).
No, I am one that likes to modify my Knives, too... I think what you've done is awesome! I always think it's cool to mod your Blades into one's you like and absolutely luv, too! Right on, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
So Americans measure the thickness in mm but the length in inches….🤪
Well... At least I do... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Which one is better ? The SanMai-Steel or the 3V-Steel ? Which one is better for Self-Defense...the Dagger PanTai or these Tanto XII ?
It's all about preference, in my opinion. Both, are great for Self-Defense Blades, in my opinion. Myself, I wouldn't want to have to go up against either one... They're both real bad ass Blades. It's all about preference, in my opinion. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
3 v is better.
True, 3V is tough. But, San Mai SS is one of the best ways to make a rust resistant 12" SS Combat Blade with great edge retention and impact resistantance. SS, with good to great edge retention, by itself, tends to be too brittle for Blades longer than 12 inches. That's why long Machetes, Swords, and Camp Knives are almost always some sort of Carbon Steel; it's more impact resistant. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto thank you
You're so welcome Bro. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
