Lionsteel M4 unboxing feat. Cold Steel AD10
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2021
- Unboxing of M4 Lionsteel. Have seen a lot of positives about this knife. Wanted a long time ago to get a Lionsteel, takes a while to decide which model(M1 or M4) and what handle type to get. Finally got this one. The size and the price difference was the biggest factors.
That's all you need in almost any situation. What a beautiful knife and sheath.
A beautiful knife! The M4 will now join my collection too, in an exclusive edition with Olive Wood handles and Magnacut blade and black leathersheat with a Lion on it :)
Wow that's amazing! I just know about this exclusive edition from you, should be one heck of a knife. 👌
What a beauty! After traditional and modern folders, I'm getting more and more interested in these baby's! And I love the looks! ♥
Yes Anita i agree it's quite a beauty. Seen some of your whittles and they are beautiful as well😊
@@jimsrat2346 thank you very much 🤗
Oh great! Dueling knives
I own one, it's a tough little blade. Love it.
Mine's still waiting to get used. It should be sooner rather than later i hope.
Pretty knives
there is a saying, "the best knife is the one that you carry with you", like the Cold Steel AD10
That is very true bro! What is a very good and reliable knife if it is not with you when you need it. 😊👍
perfect quality😊
The straps/snaps do loosen up over time. After a couple of weeks mine was perfect. It was very hard to close at first but is now perfect.
From the delivery, I know where u bought the Lionsteel M4 from. Nice knife. I am looking at the one with G10 handle.
Yes bro. You got to have it too😊
I like this knife. But for me personally, there are a few issues.
The canvas Micarta is a little on the slippery side.
It could use some jimping for the thumb.
The sheath is nice, but the belt loop is very stiff. I operate a forklift, so I'm constantly climbing up and down all day. Or sitting in an office chair. The sheath is not made to wear while sitting.
I cut off the strap with the snap. Taking my knife in and out of the sheath all day makes that strap a pain in the ass. Gets in the way. I'm not out in the bush. Works better without the strap.
Most everybody would be perfectly happy with the edge as it is out of the box. For me it was too toothy and had a rough grind. The M390 is too hard to just strop away the grind marks. I put it on the KME and put a mirror polish on it. Now it's wicked sharp.
I'm considering putting a convex edge on it. Anybody out there put a convex edge on their M4?
Good to hear that you can go around with these issues you have as related to your kind of activities👌. Seems like you are an all handyman. The slippery micarta caught my attention as well but not yet sure how if it will be if used for a period of time.
Give an update bro if and ever u give that M4 a convex grind. Thanks
@@jimsrat2346I finally decided to put a convex edge on it. Even though the original V edge was sharp, I wasn't happy with the way it was cutting. Now it's much sharper and cuts much better.
The Micarta handle isn't as slippery as it was out of the box, since it's been getting some use. But it's still not very grippy. Hopefully it will get better with more use.
That is good news bro. I think i will be contend for now since i dont have the skill and experience in sharpening knives like you have lol. Thanks for the info and keep enjoying that awesone knife bro!
Right here are reasons why I am leaning towards a Fallkniven F1X Pro in Elmax.
@@TheKro16 that's a knife that is also floating my boat at the moment. Would like to know your opinion if you do pull the trigger on it.
I really like the knife you used to open the box
Thanks bro. This further justify my purchasing of the knife😊. The AD10 handle ergo is the best of all my folder though they are all from Coldsteel.
Very nice!
Thanks. Salamat bro!
Love the shape of that blade. It's a shame that Singapore does not have a big hunting forest to put it through its paces. Maybe the train to Malaysia or a flight to Oz
That is so true bro. I am raring to put this and my other knives to actual use. For now I am restricted to "hold and marvel" at them. I recently sent several of them to Phils, ready to be used whenever I will be there.
Lionsteel M4 is not a hunting knife. Never use any kind of super stainless steel blade, for such tasks. It's the exact opposite steel, for such tasks. Always choose tough steels, with good edge stability, for hard use. The reason this knife ,comes with a steel, that would be better on a small folding knife ,rather on a hard use fixed blade, is just for marketing reasons. Most people, don't know muxh about knives, they just choose how good it looks.That's why many knives, are made with materials, that "sell" a lot and not with the material, they should have been made with.
Thanks for the info/input sir. I think this will serve good as companion/back-up knife. For my case maybe i imagine using it cutting and peeling fruits(jackfruits, papaya etc.) occasional meat but never "hard use" etc with benefits of less maintenance.
@@jimsrat2346 don't listen to him, this knife is perfectly fine for bushcrafting. M390 is a tough stainless.
@@greekveteran2715 Well my buddy must have been doing it all wrong for the last two years since he skinned quite a lot of deers an boars with this knife without an issue.

hey jim , new sub here , great vids + content, but where to get that coldsteel ad10 on the cheaper/budget friendly side ?, i love around 4" blades with partial serration too , preferably in blackout/black color , u.s,. here b.t.w., love talking knives/gear/e.d.c. , thanks > tom !
Hi Tom thanks a lot. We have the same outlook with this aspect in life. I am really drawn to these stuffs and is always great to know someone with the same passion. As for where to get the cheaper side i cannot be certain of that especially on your side of the globe. I know DLT Trading could be cheapest among the "big" knife selling companies. My side got less options because we need to consider the "hassles" of importing knives due to country's restrictions so most likely just buy from local seller where "obligations" legalities etc are settled by the seller. Wish I could help u getting ur AD10😊

Small country nothing much you can do when it comes to knives i guess but i am from the Philippines so there will be a handful when the right time comes. I got myself a kabar mark2 in phils, got few leatherman and flashlights too. Most of my collections are posted here in my channel.

@@tomquirin4231 ok sir will do😊. I have no idea how much sending stuff there as i have never done it also. I havent tried sending/importing these controlled items before. Btw my edc is a 2.75" blade length mini Ak47 from coldsteel.
Where TO purchase Pl advise.
Hi Adi. If u r asking where to buy this kind of knife for me it depends on several considerations. Mine i bought from local supplier to save me the trouble of possibly getting hold in the immigration as this is a controlled item here from where i am. Can buy from trusted supplier like dlt trading, knifecenter, bladehq knifeshipfree etc. They could be a lot cheaper but need to know how your country's import/immigration rules.
My friend do you send the knife to México?
No my friend.
@@jimsrat2346 thanks anyway
Onde comprar esse canivete?
Bought this at online seller base here in Singapore. Havent tried buying in popular seller like DLT knifecenter etc.
Tem como vc comprar,eu te pago
Cold steel make very very well made knives and come very sharp.
I own more cold steel knives than any other. I love my pocket bushman, cold steel knife. That knife will shave your arm hair just by the weight of the knife itself. And it will NOT BREAK, EVER!!!
it's the way it's made. It has what's called a RAM LOCK mechanism. And the best part is that it only costs around $30 bucks. You simply cannot buy a more less expensive and better made knife from any other manufacturer.
That's what i think also. All my folders are cold steel and they are tanks. I did "abused" my voyager xl as can be seen in my other video. Ive had used my recon1 tanto point also and it is a beast.
The CS Pocket Bushman is the best (toughest) folding knife you can buy, period. I’ve bought many of them as gifts for people who demand performance and durability in their essential gear. I keep one in my main go-bag.
It’s the only folding knife I would trust my life with.
I believe u bro when u say it is the toughest folding knife because of the RAM lock😊👍
@@arctodussimus6198, Although I will agree, be careful with it!!! (closing it CAN be devistating)
folding knife better👍👍👍

Is this a stainless steel knife? It's beautiful...
Yes it is stainless steel and is beautiful. thanks. M390 is considered as new "super steel" (browsed on web). it has good edge retention and toughness.
@@jimsrat2346 I wonder how easy it is to sharpen
I know it is not but it will really take a beating before it dulls and just stropping will put back edge after normal use.
@@crp9347 it is not at all easy to sharpen is the short answer. I'd recommend diamond stones and a KME or wicked edge style sharpener if you can afford one.
A little overkill for opening a box wouldn't you say?
Cold Steel Master Hunter,..or ESEE 4 SS , better and cheaper. Made here..usa..sold and shipped from here.
Yes sir in fact right around this time i am contemplating on my next target which is esee 4 ss. The price from where i am between these two the M4 is cheaper by 30sgd which is significant already. The esee has its own advantages obviously thats why the price.
I know Americans have this thing that anything American made must be better and of course I fully understand wanting to support the economy of your own country. But I have owned several knives by both lionsteel and esee (including their newer s35vn esee 4s) but imo lionsteel beats esee hands down on fit and finish. But I guess it's a matter of opinion.
Cheaper, but not better... And that "made in the USA" is annoying.
So u needed a 250.00 blade to unbox another knife
What a clown
I could do it with the tip of a fork actually but that one comes in handy✌️.
@@jimsrat2346 buuu what a clown! Hahah
I dont have any lionsteal, but this knive is nice. I was looking at falkniven f1, but it is overpriced imo. I have ruike jager, but it is uncomfortable, too small handle
@@jimlahey5623 yes bro i also think that this knife is reasonably priced. I read a lot about how good M390 is especially in edge retention and rust resistance. The handle is micarta and sheath ismade of high quality material imo which make it a "winner' for me, I think u need to have one also😉👍
@@jimsrat2346 i was looking at t5, this one i like the most. But not avaible everywhere or cost way too much
@@jimlahey5623 yes that one is nice also. The handle is Solid one piece. If i have a lot of spare money ill buy that one too.
хахахахахахах нужно было достать мантировку и открыть ею ахахахаахах
Cold steel are junk knives that do not have warranties. Says they do but will nor honor it.
Even the brand name has always sucked to me. Makes them sound so cheap and shitty. Maybe they got their name about right then I guess.
You can’t say any bad about AD-10 quality of materials is pretty high, same as assembly. I’m not fan of Cold Steel, but this “junk brand” sure as definitely has some good knives, like Recon 1, AD-10, Ultimate Hunter, Voyager, AK-47 field is pretty decent too, not as Lionsteel, but enough good.
Would really like to see you test this in the field over a number of tasks instead of sitting pretty indoors slicing a piece of paper. I am really fed up with these wannabe box opening videos. They are meaningless.
Yes bro I wish i could right now right this moment but i can't. Almost same with the comment on my other video but as i have said i am restraint in the meantime doing ths kind of "boring" stuff due to my situation and location. Whenever i have a chance(like in one of my videos i got to use my CS voyager XL "real job" - rolled edge doing coconuts) i will centainly be using my purchases as how it should be. Hopefully in the near future with frequency if not all the time. Thanks for commenting anyway😊👍
Yeah I never got the whole unboxing thing literally tells you nothing about the knife other than what it looks which I'm sure we all know full well to begin with.
Disappointment!!!
