The best Kobun review on UA-cam. Thanks. I just love this knife. Purchased one and gave it away as a gift. Regrets! Purchased another one a few years ago. I won’t be giving this one away. My kids can decide what to do with it when I don;t need it anymore after my earthly departure.
Veterans I love you and you have a Brother in me!! I’m a fan of cold steel they make great knife, I own a trailmaster Bowie and a outdoorsman and I love them both , stay save brother
Great video,, I think I'll get one of these, because I don't like the Scandi grind of the Mora's, and this seems similar, in purpose,, (light and cheap,, !! ) and it's a bit longer too,!!.. Mora's always feel a bit short in the blade length to me,, All the best from across the pond,, John..
I carry a serrated Kobun in my my left front pocket EDC as a "get off me" blade. I swapped the original clip for a small Ulti-Clip. It is a perfect match to the knife. Highly recommend the ulti-clip.
The kobun is a boot knife brother, my boot knife of choice the past 5 years actually. It fits perfect on the inside of any set of cowboy boots, that's why the clip appears backwards.
The Cold Steel Kobun is a good knife. I have one coming from Smoky Mountain Knife Works. It is the one with the stainless steel clip on the back for boot carry. The kissaki (point tip) and yokote (secondary tip where the kissaki and the ha (blade) meet) work well with this knife. In fact, the points of this knife came from a 6th century Japanese sword called the chokuto. This sword predated the Katana. Anyway, good review video!
Deepest respect sir ! You and DBad have some of the best videos ! Somehow you're completing each other ! Those Tanto blades are pretty darn good ones ! Scary sharp and very sturdy tips - made especially for penetrating tough stuff ... That's a great tactical knife ... I carry one foldable XL Voyager serrated Tanto knife in my pocket every time I go into the woods with my family ... (Along with a Marauder serrated on my back.. just in case ...) All the best and God Bless !
#22ADAY I'll never quit quitting brother #22ADAY thanks for being here for us addicts! Thanks for sharing this review...I like this samurai looking badass! I'd love one of them! I bet it holds a sweet edge! I got that video for supporting Mr.J and his kids...put the link up to that gofundme that Mr.Donnie set up! I seriously wouldnt be here or wouldn't know what I would do with out the best half to me! I don't know him that much but my hurt seriously hurts for his and his kids...I love ya Mr.Scab hope you stay safe and blessed my friend and know that you and Megatron are loved and will stand with y'all and your cause till you get to zero! Have a blessed weekend and heck yes I'd love love love to see you do a sweet fatwood Friday Fire with your pal Jerbs! Cheers bruv!
Watching older videos of your that pop up on the home page brother. This caught my eye cause CS and I have a Kobun myself. Love it. My sheath unfortunately was subpar in that it had zero retention. I really need to heat gun it but just laziness I guess. Go with bigfoot rather than zombie. PS Bigfoots are not Sasquatches, so you have my permission! Ha! Great demo and you used it like it should be used.
Just got that knife Scab! The serrated version. Pretty impressed at it's profile AND concealabiliy!!! This one will definitely make it to my rotation... GREAT VIDEO here as always bro!!!
I'm really glad your liking the strop and its working well for you, thanks again scabber. Theres no need to shave hair lol if it ran across my strop itll have no trouble, and if anyone doubts that they can get ahold of me and get one to find out on their own lol.
I'm a big fan of the Cold Steel Tanto type blades. Because a (I think) Master Tanto in San Mai, thinking about a 7 inch blade. This was my favorite knife and I loved it so much, I bought a second one. Some day I will have another Cold Steel Tanto. Why not a Kobun? I have good experiences with the Cold Steel buget knifes. Today my Drop Forged Survivalist arrived. Wow, what a knife! The handle could be a little bit longer, I have to check the knife with gloves on. I like the shape of the blade, the guard and the overall knife a lot, don't have to tell you that it came razor sharp out of the box. The balance point is directly in front of the guard, maybe this is why the handle is quite short. Tomorrow I have some time. I'll go to the forrest and do some knife stuff. Today I can't, my older son celebrates his 27th Birthday. This is better than knife stuff, believe me. After they loosened Covid restrictions a bit, we'll have some beer in one of the old beer gardens or beer cellars, as you like to call them, we have in our hometown. The weather is wonderful, so we'll have a great evening. #22aday Stay safe everybody, and stay blessed. Greetings from Germany!
#22ADAY That seems like a really good slicer. I think you nailed it. The Khukuri for chopping and the Coburn as a companion knife. What you do for awareness of veterans needs is awesome.
All Cold Steel knives that I've got are scary sharp ... Even the "budget" blades such as Outdoorsmen Lite - which is not a "super steel" ... I cut papers till I got bored ... Should I mention Leatherrneck Tanto ? That's indeed freakin sharp ... Probably would pierce through a car doors just for fun ...
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors just wish i could get replacement handles, got a brand new one so i can make a mold to make a high temp silicone replacement grip for my decade old one
I have that knife,its great,sharp,strong,not heavy at all,easy to carry every where,everyone at my work and country and mostly fam say that knifes are useless and all,but all of them always ask me for knifes when they need to cut something haha. And they always say how im gona get in trouble for having it,but i only use it for work,survival and around house. Grat vid my man and good speech lol and love that karambit.
Ya that makes sense, it's a thin blade stock , I suppose it's tough enough to do what it's really made for. ⚔⚔⚔. I'm gonna pick the GI tanto. Now that's a lot of knife for the money!!! 1055, full tang, 30$ crazy
I have 2 on order as I watch you. I've always carried a blade of some sort, from a Swiss army on up. I can't imagine not carrying a knife. How often do you see someone doing battle with a sealed bad of something? Here, use my knife.
OMG so I went to the link to the knife...Its roughly $40.00 bux so im trying to save the link so i can start saving up and i see that they want $80.00 TO SHIP IT TO ME!!!!WTF!!! That ain't happen! So I would basically be pay for 3 of them to get 1? How and why does that frickin happen! That just wrecked that knife for me...seriously....I would have put that on the list to get but I'd have to find a better way to get that...$80.00 for shipping! How can they justify that?????

Sweet knife. Might have to get me one, I’m impressed seeing how well it stood up to all that. Great video.

Dude I bet that is wicked!!!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors exceeded "my" expectations Scab! Should of gotten it sooner!!! Got it now though...
You got me curious so I looked it up.
Kissaki: Point of blade, starting at yokote ending at the tip
Trying to Baton with a sledgehammer LMAO
Excellent video review. I just picked one up, and I luv it!
This thing is pretty Kick-Ass and I appreciate you man
Cool review Scab.
I think I want the Kobun, I just bought the Recon tanto and I think it would go well with it.
I like it brother I was just messing around with both of those last night
I’m enjoying my Cold Steel knives. They’re affordable and strong.
I have a few more Cold Steels on my ‘want’ list .
Brother I am starting to like that stile . That part is the sharp tippy part lol I hope you are having a great weekend
I'm really glad your liking the strop and its working well for you, thanks again scabber. Theres no need to shave hair lol if it ran across my strop itll have no trouble, and if anyone doubts that they can get ahold of me and get one to find out on their own lol.

I'm partial to the Kukiri, but this is an excellent knife too brother! #22aday 🙋♀️🐴🍃
Great knife!
Greetings, I just wanted to let you know that the sharp edge at the frond is called "boshi" and the point is called kissaki. Best wishes.
I appreciate that very much!!
#22aday yet another outstanding review thanks Scab
Is a cold steel sharp? That’s like asking can you defend yourself with it? ;-D.😂😉
Wait you can sharpen a knife. 🤯😏
@@rustyknifelover4463 🤣😂😅🤣😂

Really good video. Sounds like you're doing good work, and your content is great. What kind of strop do you use? Can you suggest one?
Also, yeah it's a full tang. Do you think 35 bones is a good price for it?
They have a great strop paddle on Amazon. Can't think of the damn name of it but it's 17.00
Yessir. It's worth it.
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors that's exactly how much I was hoping to spend. I think I found it! Thanks brother
I had one that i did contractor stuff with, its 10 years old and still holds an edge, lost the tip a time or two
Man this thing is a workhorse
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors just wish i could get replacement handles, got a brand new one so i can make a mold to make a high temp silicone replacement grip for my decade old one
Nice test!
Was it difficult to strop it back to new?
Not at all responded VERY well

Grat vid my man and good speech lol and love that karambit.
Appreciate you man!
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors you are very welcomeee,god bless you
I love cold steel knives. Is the Kobun tough enough?
It's sharp as all get out. However, I wouldn't chop or baton with it. If that makes sense
Ya that makes sense, it's a thin blade stock , I suppose it's tough enough to do what it's really made for. ⚔⚔⚔. I'm gonna pick the GI tanto. Now that's a lot of knife for the money!!! 1055, full tang, 30$ crazy
Kobun is soldier who answers to the Oyabun which means Boss!!!
I have 2 on order as I watch you. I've always carried a blade of some sort, from a Swiss army on up. I can't imagine not carrying a knife. How often do you see someone doing battle with a sealed bad of something? Here, use my knife.
Amen Brother Amen
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors Wow! Thankyou.
You can't go wrong with a cold steel tanto the kobun would be a good companion to the magnum xii tanto with the 12" blade i think
For a few dollars more you can get a Voyager Tonto 5.5-in blade. With the Triad lock. That's just my opinion
I have one
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors do you frequent BF Cold Steel forums? If you do I'll see you there my moniker is Vlade
@@josephmac2386 not a whole lot my friend but I will definitely look for you
that's a sleak, nice, affordable cold steel fixed blade...great vid my man..and its a Tanto..+++
#22aday #Community!!! 💘 some tanto action!!!

It's on sale at walmart! Bought one and I hope it's the real thing
wow wicked knife bro that things cuts paper like butter couldent get any better then that awsome video
Would you prefer the kobun over the recon tanto in sk5?
No not at all... Recon tanto in sk5
#22aday🇺🇸💙
#22aday 🇺🇸🗡🤘
How about the sheath? Does it dull the knife?
I have not found that to be the case... Yet anyway
@@choirboyzcutleryoutdoors ok….thanx
👍👍👍
Now I have to get it.
#22aday that kobun looked like it did pretty damn good
5.5 inch blade
I challenge you to do a fatwood Friday Scab.
Accepted
OMG so I went to the link to the knife...Its roughly $40.00 bux so im trying to save the link so i can start saving up and i see that they want $80.00 TO SHIP IT TO ME!!!!WTF!!! That ain't happen! So I would basically be pay for 3 of them to get 1? How and why does that frickin happen!
