Luzon: Cold Steel Does it Again
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2019
- Another big bad knife from Cold Steel. I've always loved these big folding Cold Steel blades as real men should. We'll again see how the Chinese knife industry with their original and well made designs are making it tough for the big knife companies. Cold Steel will be just fine though. That's because they continue to make knives like the Luzon: incredible size, quality, and value you'll get from the Luzon series, both 4" and 6" versions reviewed here. They feature an exterior lock to prevent closure of the liner lock. Don't expect TriAd lockup strength with this but it's a nice feature that can be ignored if you don't like it. Add in good blade steel, long comfortable handle, perfect blade finishing, molded in clip, and waveable from the pocket (!). What's not to like (ok maybe the fart).

Hi TNPrs! Project still strong and working hard. Remember TNP Patreon gets the videos first and some never post on the main channel! Here's some TNPr comments from Patreon, join the fun and full flow of TNP content: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy "Scott Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Nutn'! 1 2w Terry Eannetta Scored 4" Luzon at Cold Steel parking lot sale last weekend. $33. Love it. Carry on Lt. Col. 1 2w TacticalBunnyCA Happy Thanksgiving to you Nutn and all my fellow Patreons! Wearing my CS Large Espada pared with a Stat Gear Pockete Katakana today! The size difference makes me laugh! 1 2w Adam Boyd I've been carrying the large Luzon for most of the year. Awesome! It's my 2nd favorite defensive folder. (5.5" Talwar can't be beat!) Some days I carry both. I don't usually use pocket clips because I can get a better grip on it as I draw. The advantage of a big blade like that is it stays in position in my pocket. When I try to carry a little 4" blade it's hard to get a hold of. Only problem is sometimes it doesn't lock when I wave it out. Still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong. Overall...I'd trust it to save lives. 1 2w Powernoodle The big Talwar is awesome, no doubt about it. I have them in both black and blue. 1 2w Load 2 replies Powernoodle The 4" and 6" Luzon cost less on Amazon, especially if you are a Prime member and get "free" shipping. $34.54 for the 4". 2w Aaron Gross Love the videos nutn! When's the table top of the honey badger? 2w The Nutnfancy Project So much I'm trying to push through the small funnel of content, working on several gun reviews now but it is on the list 2w Load 1 reply Pvt_Schmuckatelli A double dose of holiday KRVs. Where else can you get this kind of value? I totally dig the large blades. I've been looking at 4" blades, but after watching this video, those look small to me! LOL Thanks for stuggling through the pain and discomfort to bring us high quality content. Your pain is our gain. Tango Yankee Victor Mike. Happy Thanksgiving. 1 2w The Nutnfancy Project Yeah buddy, thanks so much for the comment. I thought I might give you guys something to watch to escape the relatives! 2 2w steve garrett Dude that is gonna itch when it dries, huff that fart 1 2w The Nutnfancy Project Bleach! 2 2w Doug Irelan Nutn I totally agree with your philosophy and you amaze me with your perception of your audience. I bought the Frenzy in December of 2017 after your KRV. When I saw the Luzon large last May I bought it. Now I’m going to buy the Luzon medium 4 inch and plan to occasionally carry it. 2 2w The Nutnfancy Project That's funny Doug! I do tend to know you guys pretty well. These knives are so inexpensive it really makes sense to get them as a pair. Then you can swap them out as your needs dictate. It amazes me a cold steel got them built at this price. 2w Incubad I purchased the luzon 4" in October 2018 off amazon and had to return it. The deployment was horrendous and the liner lock was extremely stiff and made my fingers raw. There is also no real room on the thumb stud. The thing that made me return it was the fact that it opened up in my pocket. The tip does not have much protection at all from fabric snags and that's what did it in for me. I returned it and got an urban trapper and CS spike. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Can't go wrong with that Urban Trapper, totally sick EDC blades 2 2w Load 1 reply Austin Langon Interesting comparing the knife industry to the watch industry. Who buys what, who makes what, who copies who, etc. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Doing watch reviews has helped my knife reviews. So much similarity between the two. 3 2w David Englehart That thing's huge (that's what she said). Thanks for making me spend money on Turkey Day Nutn... 😵 lol 2w The Nutnfancy Project You are welcome 1 2w Load 1 reply Jerry Hall I purchased the 4” & 6” from BladeHQ. Both are excellent. No issues with deployment. The 6” is definitely intimidating. Thanks for the review. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thanks Jerry and thanks for using my BHQ links, they help me get these loaner knives. It will also give me .03 cents! 2 2w michael szymborski Any chance of another Microtech collaboration? I’ve fallen in love with the SOCOM, and a TNP version would be sick! I’ve EDC’ed my SOCOM since 2/17 and for me it’s the perfect 1st and 2nd combo. 2w john milochis Thanks nutn my wife hates theses vids mate every time I watch one I buy more stuff all well just ordered mine thanks 😀 TNSheep That definitly screams of a cold steel knife, but sexier than normal. 2w mike I need 2w The Nutnfancy Project You are wise 3min Chris Baker The day after Thanksgiving is a fine time to say THANKS Nutnfancy for all the reviews over the years. My stable is full of Cold Steel, SOG, OKC, Benchmade, Zero Tolerance etc., all on your recommendation. I actually brought a recently purchased Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite to cut the turkey at my parents place yesterday. Life is good :D 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thank you Chris for that kind comment. I seek to serve my TNPrs with high value, great gear for their systems. That it makes you happy makes me happy! 2min david rockwell Your insight is valid regarding many U.S. based knife companies resting upon brand, reputation and hype. The quality, material and design of small U.S. manufacturers like Bradford, Survive and Hogue knives are a bulwark against the Chinese onslaught. Cold Steel has always been an extremely high value knife company due to the vision espoused by Lynn Thompson. Heal well and keep up with the physical therapy. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thanks David, much appreciated 1min James Parker Thank you. Happy thanksgiving. I am having the same surgery in February. But dang you now I need a new knife. Lol. 2w Tygre Cold Steel just continues to be awesome. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Yeppers 1min Arthur Krieger Awesome review Nutn. Love the philosophy about releasing competitive products. On another note I've been particularly interested in bushcraft knives lately (got a Mora and a Benchmade -- still testing them both -- looking at the Condor product as well) so I'm VERY excited to hear about the Work Tuff Cutmaka. And just more PoU on bushcraft blades, obvious as it may be. 1w matt Awesome review. I have the 6 inch fun to fondle. dont try to over do it with your shoulder 1w Nathan P Hubsch I like that honey badger, I need one. 1w The Nutnfancy Project It rocks just now Todd Strelka I'm originally a Cold Steel guy. Turned on to the brand by Nutnfancy when he gave away CS knives at a get together several years ago. This knife reminds me of my XL Voyager. I love the clip point blade. 5d The Nutnfancy Project I love that Voyager, thanks Todd"
Now thats a mouthful
Hide your wallets!!!!!
@18:00 I'm surprised he didn't "harp" about the handle grip material more!!! >_>
Dude!! I've already bought a lot of knives (multiple times) from BHQ this month!!!! Can't you do all the knife vids in November?! lolololol Saves us money on shipping :'( also, less pollution from shipping multiple packages lol
Dude, you're a cool bro!!
I've had this on my Amazon wish list for months
Hey Nutn, just want to say thanks for all your hard work you put in for our benefit. But I hope that you will apply to be in the gundies. I believe you deserve some recognition from the gun community as a whole. ✌🏽
4" Luzon is definitely a street fighter. A rotisserie chicken from Costco came at me hard and fast, and I left it in pieces.
6” baby!
@@LEARSIKCIGAM yeah maybe if you got rotisserie turkeys running around your hood
What do you call a chicken looking at a bowl of lettuce....... chicken sees a salad 😁
I love how Cold Steel just do their own thing. I'm a big fan of their knives, especially the large ones. 😁
Exactly the reason I have ALWAYS enjoyed your videos, NOT at any point do I lose interest!
I am greatly appreciative for your honesty and for all the excellent reviews that help me out while keeping me entertained with your excitement and thoughts!
Joyous blessings to you and yours and happy new year!
I am on the fence with which knife I will be going for but as always you’re an absolutely wonderful source for such helpful guidance that will lead to my soon to be new knife purchase, as always THANX!
Nutn I've always appreciated your in depth, non biased, user experienced gun videos. You've helped make me a knife guy now as well and I'm enjoying your whole collection of videos. Thank you sir and keep up the good fight!
Between living next to Cold Steel's HQ and this crazy old bat reviewing knives my wallet doesn't know what to do.
Used to have an EDC tray, now I have an EDC drawer.
Yup, I spend at least $100 a month on blades.
Well Col. Thanks to you I have carried the recon for over 6 years. Even bought the ex large for travel. I'm done. I'll carry this knife to my grave and leave my collection to my grandson.
I started buying Cold Steel back in the 1980s, back when they were made in Japan. The value was there even back then. Always impressed with quality, thoughtful designs, functionality and aesthetically.
Wow really?!
In the 80's Japanese things were all inexpensive. Very.
And excellent quality.
But for VERY different reasons who Chinese good.
Everything used to say "made in Japan" for a long time. Now it all says made in China. Gladly the quality is Chinese goods has come on a long way now (2024)
Again, all for very different reasons. Basically the Chinese goverment is subsidising goods sold abroad.
I'd rock that 4" all day. Lynn Thompson is the man!
I 💯 agree. But don't forget Andrew Demko, he the man too 🤙🏽

What a time to be alive, knife reviews better then ever, keep it up nutn u da best
RIDICULOUSLY-AWESOME!!!!!!…….. AND THEN YOU FARTED.....SOOOOO GOOD!!! BEST EPISODE EVER!!!
I can picture you with a champagne glass trying to collect his fart so you can sip on it. What's so entertaining about a fart? Gtfoh
@@FirstLast-su7tb really?? I see why people don't like you.....
@@FirstLast-su7tb He can literally smell it 🤣🤣🤣
I learn so much on your show. I have to drive 1 hour every day to and from work and I always start the day with one of your awesome shows. Keep it up!
I’ve been packing and flipping the 6” for about a week now. I carry an H1 Ladybug alongside for the sheepy types. But man. I can’t put the Luzon down! As a car flipping knife. I took it in the woods and carved down a walking stick for my girlfriend and it worked excellently. That flat grind does exactly what it should! Cold Steel wins again.
Reminds me of their ti-lite. The 4inch model was one of my first knives my dad got me for Christmas one year. Started carrying it when I was 16 until the end of college. Cold steel makes great stuff and I'll be getting myself this one for Christmas this year.
I have a Cold Steel Spartan that I brought years ago when it first came out. Love it. It actually saved me from a altercation with three "gutter punks" and their pit bull.
Awesome
That thing is badass and intimidating as hell!! Would have loved to see the gutter punks eyes bug out.
Nice I rock a Rajah II its just a tiny bit longer and has a full flat grind.
Still rocking the Talwar XL.
DCWAKU all the reason to but a few others all most impossible to go wrong with a good cold steel pocket knife XL L M or Small.
Thanks Nutn for starting me off in this great hobby. Yes, you were the guy. Since joining this channel, I've collected a bunch of neat knives and other "stuff" from your recommendations. I consider the money well spent for the pleasure I get. Thanks again.
Love this knife! I picked up the last 4" version SMKW had on display back in June. This knife instantly became my EDC blade. Its sharp as hell, I love the blade shape and how light it is. The action on it is like butter, just seems to pop open with ease. Overall a homerun from Cold Steel.
I'm very happy to see more knife reviews coming out here recently, guns are out of reach for me so knife reviews are the main reason I've been watching this channel for so many years, please keep them coming. P/S: some fixed blade reviews would be really awesome too...
I just picked up a Cold Steel Voyager, somewhat based on your review from about 8 years ago, and its an awesome knife! Razor sharp, and a great price. Great brand!
Got a Luzon 4 inch from your Review. Have used it and it carries very well while in my slacks.
I love cold steel. Been buying their products since I was 12 and recently have been only buying the large folders. Can’t get enough of them.
I edc my Cold Steel Rajah ii that I had to pull in Melbourne once. I'm a big fella that can handle himself and was vastly outnumbered until I pulled my Rajah. Pocket deployment was perfect and the sheer size of it appearing from my jeans front pocket was enough to end it all, right there and then....lol
You could see they all wanted a closer look, but at a much further distance 😆😆😆
G'day from Australia mate.🇦🇺
Just picked up a Cold Steel Voyager. Love it!!
Still rock the recon 1 tanto after 8 years
I picked up the 4" model months ago when it first came out and love it. Great edc at very reasonable price.
I'm getting this knife, the medium one, thanks to your review!
I have approximately 8 months of edc use at work with the 6".
The steel is sub par and thin, and comes with a very rapidly dulled extreme razor edge. It is not ideal for chores.
It is however very resistant to chipping or snapping, and extremely thin sharp and pointy. It is tailor made for maximum legal weapon potential in a place with oppressive laws.
My opinion is that as is typical of Lynn Thompson's work, it is a highly refined and very affordable purpose built precision uncompromising weapon, nothing more or less.
If you want a work knife in this size, thicker and better steel is what you want, not this. Want an optimal single edge folding fighter? Here it is.
I found that the scales are horribly made and it won't be quiet if you are getting ready because it makes super clunky plastic noises, and the lock mechanism is also terrible, the scales should had been done in G10 rubber, at least, and the locking mechanism smoother... this is a 10 dollar dollar knife all day... when I purchased a pair at Wish from Fury knives for 19 bucks each that are more solid that should tell you all you need to know..
Everyone knows the deal with 8Cr13MoV by now.
If you want a work knife at least buy D2, 8cr13mov is good for light tasks like opening boxes nothing worse
@@z.r0.m_0n I've yet to own a d2 blade. I have used the 5.5" aus 10 voyager tanto as a work knife for years now. I consider it the perfect working folder.
whipped out the 4“ in longhorn steakhouse and properly cut up my outlaw ribeye!
I bought one (the 4 inch) as soon as they came out. I love it.
I've been into knives for 25+ years, own and carry a LOT of brands/sizes, but for some reason have never tried a Cold Steel knife. Just bought the 4" Luzon and 3.5" Pro Lite Sport knives. LOVETHEM!!!!
Holy molly thats bad ass!!! Always loved your channel mate its always been honest and no bullshit trough n trough. Wish you and your close ones and your channel all the best mate 😁
Id rather have the 6” blade in a defensive situation than a 4”, thats why I carry one.
use a glock man
@@leolv520 lol, not as easy as we all wish man
I carry a Talwar XL daily and have done so for 3 years now. I love big blades and like to carry them always have and always will.
Another great video. Largely due to one of your reviews, one of my EDC knives is a 4" Cold Steel clip point voyager. I am getting the Luzions pretty soon. Guess I'm still old school enough to think that, even though drop points are good general purpose blades, they are also the most boring. I agree with your "big blade" idea. I do love a large clip point. Still saving for an XL Esapda.
Praying for your shoulder to heal quickly.
Zipper pockets leather biker jacket is a must with these
Good vid, love the passion, knife reviews for everyday people
Thanks Nutn. I’d love to see the buck 110 slim reviewed.
Keep up the good work.
I just got the big one in today, this thing is ridiculous. Great recommendation nutnfancy!
Love the knife show recently also👍
I got one of them there 6" Luzon. The Espada with "wave" type opener (works fantastic) is the bomb.
Mine's razor short out of the box I haven't sharpened it and I use it when I walk through the woods it chops through small limbs like butter and the blade still holds up it's a great freaking knife thanks for bringing out this video I think you're really awesome 👌👍🖐️
Mine was razor long out of the box.
Love TNP knife reviews most of all... great stuff
KRVs are still the best part of the Project and what I look forward to the most. Please keep em coming, Nutn!
I love this knife, I gave it away as a gift to my brother for his birthday. Bought myself another (And a Crawford 1!).
The whole bit about US Manufacturers goes 'cold' when the Luzon twins proudly display "CHINA" on the blades.
I love it. A Filipino inspired folder!!!
I carry the smaller Luzon very regularly. But, I enjoy the largest Ti-lite and I love carrying the larger ti-lite with the Kriss style blade. I notice the larger cold steel blades ride perfectly in the pocket and lined up perfectly down the center of the thigh which always works for me. I love Cold Steel and the Luzon is a 9.5/10.
Got the 6 inch model, and used a Dremel Tungsten Carbide Cutter bit (#9901) to notch the flipper to grab my pocket for the wave deployment. Also replaced the clip with a metal one, I found the original clip was too tight on my jeans.
Great knife, I love it!
I carry my cold steel outdoorsman, and my cold steel leatherneck tanto once in a while. Love em both
Hi. Filipino here. It's not (luh-ZON), it's (LOOSE-ohn)
Whats the general consensus on going full larp when going to the range with bdu's plate carrier etc?
Dude! love the JROTC pin. I was U.S.A.F. JROTC CA 954th! Love it!
I believe it does have a ball bearing system instead of phosphorus bronze washers. I saw it in a disassembly video cuz I was curious as well as to what it was running on.
Thanks for the recommendations on knives nutn. Going to buy some more knives now lol
Sold! Ordered the 6”. Thanks nutn!
@nutnfancy These knives look great, I think I'm gonna hafta try both! TNP knife show is really knocking it outta the park with the KRV's lately, featuring alot of great blades! Thank you, get well soon brother, and merry CHRISTmas. God Bless.
🌈🦄⚔🛡🇺🇸
I have both Luzon's and enjoy both. Carry the 4 inch daily and the 6 inch is my fun factor !
Nutn, thanks for the great review. After going to a local “hardware” store that only had Micrtech and Benchmade tools for multi hundreds of dollars I’m glad Coldsteel is still making great products that are affordable for the working man.
In Florida I need a good tactical fighter that will be a force multiplier on the street and not in my wallet.
I bought the Luzon because of this and I do not regret it!
Just got this in the mail yesterday for $40 bucks, the 6 inch blade!I have the XL G10 Espada (Love it) and this blade still surprised me and made me giggle when I got it in my hand! 😆
Anyways, I wish that they had this version...a cheaper version...and a G10 version with AUS 10.
This clip is not bad, but I’m working on sanding down the clip because it gets caught so deep sometimes when I’m attempting to “wave” it from my pocket...
Thanks Nutn’, I’m a newer Patreon guy and I’m starting to branch out to your other gear vids. Love your work!
...and your Philosophy vids are on point.
Wow I actually got something BEFORE you reviewed it!
I've had both those luzons for a couple of months now.
top tier sheep dog level reached lol
@8:35 Work Tuff Gear is knocking knives out of the park. Great stuff!
I LOVE the. " Oh HELL NO !"
I Baught the Large Luzon a year ago when it was Still New to the Market. I love it and it's my EDC.
When I Pull it Out, people say. " Oh my GOD is So BIG !"
I’ve wanted a Luzon for a while now the clip is what’s keeping me from getting one, because I would want to carry left side. I already have my Recon1 right side.
I am a huge fan of the medium. I’ve carried it for several months on and off and used it as a non tactical knife for LE duty. Cold Steel knocked it out of the park again.
Thanks for the review man, I agree with everything you said
I’ve been carrying the Luzon L for about a year and a half, steel is great and its just awesome. It’s great for me because I’m 15 and can’t carry a gun lol
The secondary lock makes me feel a lot better about carrying a cheap knife for defense
Just order myself the Cold Steel OSS for Christmas. And it was on sale!
I have to send back the one I just received. Too much metal for the liner lock to engage. So now I get to see how good customer service is.
I want both the 6" and the 4". I wish both came in a gift set. Kind of like the holiday knife sets from Walmart only it wouldn't suck.
I carry 2 knives every day and one is always the cold steel hold out that's 6" long and then most the time I have a cold steel ak47 but it's fun to change it up now and then.
If you can get one, I highly recommend the R1 Military Classic. San Mai III preferred. Gorgeous. Very well-made.
About as close to a Randall 1 as you can get. Along the lines of the Blackjack Model 7 and SOG Agency, too. Just sick.
I like that belt clip for carry in business casual. Handle seams a little bit thick for that use-case but I like it. At that price it's pretty hard to argue with.
Nutn could you recommend an overcoat to hold that big folder?
Great review. Keep it up! I love these rediculous blades.
Got 1 of these and a 6" ti lite the same day . 3 years ago.
I bought this knife right when I saw the notification for your video
I EDC the Cold Steel Ti-Lite 6 most days. It’s an excellent pocket sword
Thanks for the review. Tell us where to get the Fairey Swordfish. Hank
About to get a Bachelor's in philosophy, I'm a vet and love this man, great job, thank you.
I used to have pretty big pocket knife collection....but they where all small. And as soon as i got my luzon large i gave away all my other knives😂....this is hands down the most intimidating easy to carry biggest pocket knife ever
I've been carrying mine for a year got it the same day u posted this only problem I have is closing it the blade makes contact with a screw and rolled the edge in that spot
Current edc blade is a microtech ultratech. Just switched yesterday. Was carrying a rajah 2 paired with a manix lightweight
I've been waiting about a year for this review. My son wanted the golden eye but it was sold out so he went with the blue broken skull. Swig of beer for the working man.
The 4 inch Luzon and the 4 inch Tanto Voyager are on my 2020 short list.
I have had a Luzon large since June 2019. I LOVE THIS BLADE. Only 8cr13mov, but that doesn't matter for a martial blade. Not heavy at all considering the size. Very intimidating blade and I feel much better when I carry this where I cannot carry a firearm.
I have the larger one, aside from the cool factor it is a fully functional defensive knife. I still haven't figured out what to do with it though.
Please do a video on how you engrave your knives. What do you use etc?
Does this have a Kershaw smoothness release? Seem like it.
Reminds me of the ti light 6. On of my favorite blades. 2nd kinda cool. It's just a sexy blade.
Luzon yes I have the 6-in and I think it's great a great protector 😎🖐️👌👍😍🤠💖 thank you for sharing this video
I bought one of these a month or so back because I just instantly loved the blade shape and I wanted something in this category. Only criticism is the handle material and that pocket clip. I'd happily, happily, pay double for one with nicer handle scales and a better metal pocket clip. It's basically superb otherwise.
An excellent nutnfancy knife review on Thanksgiving morning. Thank you very much!
Thank you!
Do you have a video on sharpineg blades?
I've had the 4" luzon for about a year. My only complaint is the thumb stud. I wish they would have just left it as a flipper and not put it on.
I DID stipple my luzon and it was well worth the 20m it took.
The Luzons are fun knives.
I have both sizes.
Cold Steel is really hitting it.
You need to check out the 4Max Scout.
Just got mine and it is awesome.
Got a 4max off Midway. $49. Awesome.
I really hope i get to meet you one day
I'm sure you would be disappointed...I am every time I look in the mirror
😅
@@nutnfancy relax , we're not here for your good looks , only your knowledge and wit . 🤙
I have a both haha, the big one always had like no detention for the blade, I like it real loose it just flies out without using the wave or thumb stud
I’ve been a fan of and using Cold Steel knives and other items for almost 15 years now. Like Nutnfancy says, they’ve had a few missteps, but for the most part you get high quality knives and other products at a killer price. I like blades I can use and try to avoid “safe queens”. If something happens to my $40-$120 knife it’s not as bad a blow as if something happens to a $300-$400 Zero Tolerance or $500 Microtech.
Feel better!
The Steel Will Cut Jack is a sweet little knife. They have a decent priced $40 or so D2 and a $60 version with better steel. Both are excellent knives.
