This man is a walking armoury and a legend 🙌
💯 on both accounts
What happened to Lynn? Why is he walking around with a cane?
@@samroma837 Because it is another place for him to put a sword!
@@samroma837
Why?
Lynn has basically said quite a few times that he's a proponent of self defense and preparedness mindset, and normalizes his extreme edc as a routine, like the way most people leave their homes with their keys, wallets/purses, and phones. He'd carry a full fledged sword and scabbard on a daily basis if he could.
This video with his cane sword and multiple smaller blades, tells you he's not kidding.
Lynn makes knives to defend yourself with and he isn’t shy about it that’s why I’ll always be a cold steel fan
We love Lynn!
Well said
What a great man, I still carry my 20+ year old Voyager with me nearly everyday, Cold Steel forever!
Lynn seem like a nice guy..and
he make Awesome things
Lynn is awesome!
Legend!
💯
Lynn is always a welcome sight. What a treasure of a man. Tuff as the knives and swords he creates. I WILL own a cs dragonfly katana someday. They make awsome swords.
We love Lynn and all the stories and knife lore he knows
One bad dude with that load out for sure
💯
Mr. Thompsin, sir, I am looking forward in great anticipation to your future blade and, or other defense items.
Man's a national treasure !!!
💯
Legend
💯
excellent video!
that San Mai Laredo Bowie is huge
and Lynn is badass as always
too bad he sold Cold Steel.
but he is 81 years old now....time for a pension
Never know what Lynn is packing
Is he? I can't find his age anywhere
*Hiç Kimse Lynn Thompson'a Karşı Bıçak Çekip Ondan Cüzdanını İstemeye Cesaret Edemez*
Bring back the broken skull!
thanks for watching
Well shit I want a blue Espada XL!!
Lynn is legendary. We need more people in this world just like him.
💯
Yes! Ballsy and unapologetic about self defense, melee weapons, and martial arts cultures, which includes firearms of course.
Lynn is like a big kid sharing his toys on the playground.
💯
I love Lynn, and love his new hair color! He has provided the greatest of dangerous adult toys for my entire lifetime, including some great combat knives during my Army service in the 80's! Thanks for the video, SMKW! 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼
Lynn always makes me smile 🙂
"Not so many knives, lately..." As he pulls out a bunch of knives from his pockets. Love this guy.
Lynn is a legend!
The last of a dying breed. Lynn is the best
Lynn is the greatest!
Lynn is awesome a man that never holds back.
This is what a true American looks like! Lynn, love your company, Forget all the haters who say you sold out etc, they’re just mad you’re a successful businessman! God bless you sir, and God bless SMKW!
Thanks for watching!
Anyways, he knows he won't live forever and wants to see the legacy of his brand in capable (hopefully) hands. Let's hope GSM maintains the standards of Lynn and the Cold Steel brand.
He really wants to live. I do too but I’d carry 3-4 pocket knives and one fixed blade usually Some people says that’s way to much. Then there’s Lynn Thompson..
There is only one Lynn!
Lynn is a true Legend, i allways love seeing him on screen, he has so much knowledge of knifes that it is just incredible, much love and Respect to you Lynn Sir
Lynn is awesome!
You never know where he is going to pull knives from....Love Lynn...
Lynn has got to have one of the funnest jobs in the world.
Because of Lynn I carry a Espada XL, a Vaquero Voyager XL and a Frenzy. I love big blades. I carry two smaller knifes also.
That is an awesome carry! Lynn has inspired tons of us!
THAT ESPADA XL IN BLUE G10 AND DLC BLADE IS SWEET MR THOMPSON !!!
Thanks for watching!
Great interview always fun to hear from Lynn!!!
Lynn Thompson has delivered to the user a great value plus being such a true enthusiast that doesn't mince words only adds to the value Thanks for the upload SMKW.enjoyed the view
Thanks for watching!
Its Lynn Thompson...what ISN'T in his pocket? LOL
True!
Lynn Thompson is one of the few knife designers that is actually a martial artist and a real hunter.
But what I really like about Lynn he said his best designs come from training sessions.
I carry the vaquero xl myself.
Smokey mountain my favorite store.
Lynn is a blast and we love hearing his stories and all the knowledge he shares!
On top of what you mentioned, Lynn was a disgruntled and frustrated blade consumer that was fed up with the makers he was surrounded by in his younger days - crap quality in materials, poor fit and finish and disappointing performance at unreasonable prices.
That's why Lynn founded the Cold Steel brand to change that.
@@TheScotchaholic never heard that but that makes sense. Plus it really sounds like something he would say.
@@richardhenry1969
Cold Steel used to send out catalogs and sales flyers.
In those catalogs, Lynn wrote articles (titled "Riposte" with topic subtitle) about his experiences and opinions on various topics about the knife industry (he pissed off other knife makers by exposing insider shady unscrupulous marketing and manufacturing practices/claims) and blade usage/design/performance and aspects of self defense weapons/techniques/issues.
Take note of the folders that he carries: Only Tri-ad folders.
He's rich and can afford expensive customs, Medfords, Spartans, Striders, Reeves, Heretics, Rocksteads, OTFs, etc to carry - but he doesn't.
He's done and seen enough folder locking mechanisms reliability tests, to know which type he's going to trust his life to.
He also knows that one doesn't need a super exotic expensive high edge retention steel to have a reliable blade for self defense.
Lynn is hyper pragmatic and practical.
The guy carries the ever reliable and trusty revolver - pretty much sums it all up.
Can he just be my dad.... PLEASE!!????????? Lol
Lynn sure knows how to carry.
I've missed Lynn so much!! Love that guy!
Lynn is truly one os a kind!
He's passionate , enjoys life and freedom
I’ve been throwing my Axe Gang hatchet for 2yrs now. Awesomeness!
Forget what the price of the knives are, Lynn gave us the toughest folders on planet earth.
We love Lynn!
The thing that is great about the Cold Steel brand is nearly all of the design and materials, offers great value and performance for the money, whether it's the budget or premium models.
Really wise selection of materials, design and quality manufacturing.
Lynn is one of the last based men on earth. I carry my 6 inch Signature Series Ti Lite every day.
Lynn is one of a kind!
lynn the legend 👍🏻👍🏻🙏
The Godfather of all things sharp! Such an awesome man
💯
Lynn T walks the walk and talk! Hope SMKWs can get him down in one of their fall open house Rep Day events.
Great to see him give the kudos to SMKWs. They deserve it. 👍
Lynn has a open invite to crash the store anytime!
The mans a fucking legend love from the UK
LYNN THOMPSON FOR NEW YORK (NY) GOVERNOR!!!
I love Kung fu hustle. . Top 3 movies in the Kung fu genre
Cold Steel D. E. L. I. V. E. R. S.
“Anytime, Anywhere”
Lynn Thompson “lives” by his mantra.
I love my AK-47 such a predatorial looking knife and with its metal butt it can crack skulls easily.
I realized one thing: I was like a fool looking the perfect knife. It doesn’t exist.
Cold Steel knives each model and family has its deadly charm and personality.
I fell in love at first sight with the AK-47 and then with the Spartan. The new Mayhem is whispering sweet words to me as I am writing these words.
I’ll invest in all and pass them to my descendants. These knives are build to last.
I’d like to see a Spartan with a metal butt just like the AK-47.
Remember all:
“Anytime, Anywhere”
Thanks for watching!
Very cool Lynn Thompson sir 👍. I really like the cold steel knives .
Lynn is OG cool!
I hope TSA feel like realll a*sholes when they make Lynn give up his knives to fly... But you KNOW what's in his checked bag when he gets there though...
An X-ray of Lynn's luggage would scare the heck out of most people 🤣
I'm Lynn Shady yes I'm the real Shady all you other Lynn Shady's are just imitating, so won't the real Lynn Shady please stand up? Please stand up, please stand up.
🤣
His spirit animal must be a damn porcupine.
We were thinking Honey Badger
Ever since I picked up my Spartan plain edge I have never been let down by cold steels quality I’m getting a new xl and two new recon 1s can’t wait for the day after tomorrow
Cold Steel makes some great blades no matter the budget
Mr T is like a character in a Guy Ritchie movie👍👍👍 bought my srk cV more than 30 years ago, tank of a knife👍
Thanks for watching!
Lynn is not fat. He's just hiding a lot of blades under his shirt.
🤣
Lynn Thompson makes his own outro
Lynn makes anything and everything better 🤣
Sometimes carries a sword just because.
Fucking legend.
You never know what Lynn is carrying!
I love Lynn's kid like fascination with cutlery!!
I'm a Cold Steel fanatic & so are my sons..🤣🤣
Cold Steel warms the heart!
@@SMKWcom A national treasure 😁👍
Not just cutlery - Lynn is melee weapons geek.
How many other companies are going to design and sell authentic black thorn and artificial Shillelagh sticks, and other period weapons of various types???
Only Lynn Thompson and Cold Steel.
Never knew vaquero xl serrated was his favourite, but i kinda figured myself without extra information that its probably the deadliest from sub 240 gr knives. I own clip xl, too bad in Russia cold steel is 2x times more price than rest of the world so have to wait and buy other china brand knives for now.
What do you carry today? Me thinking 2 knives max 😂
Lynn with 2 knives? Only if he is wearing his bathrobe 🤣
Where can I buy a San Mai large Bowie like the one you showed in the video?
Here is a link to all of our Cold Steel www.smkw.com/brands/cold-steel
I get such a kick out of watching forged and fire and I remember his videos long before forged and fire ever existed the cold steel original forged in fire torture tests.
Several of still have our OG Lynn Thompson VHS tapes
I've been a customer with cold steel for many years , I love the triad lock system and wouldn't trust anything else!! I love the serrated vaquero xl, I own about 3 of them and they're awesome knives.
Cold Steel makes some awesome blades!
I wish that Broken Skull was still in production. I have a tan one, but I’d love a few more. Such a great, thin grind on those
They are great!
Lynn is awesome but man he's totally reminding me of Tommy boy here. Love it.
Dude said I'm painting my hair yellow today
When Lynn makes a decision then it is made
Love me a good j frame. Glad he likes a good wheelgun
Lynn is awesome!
Knife gang for life
💯
Is it possible that Lynn and Chuck Norris might be the same guy.?? lmao!
We can neither confirm nor deny this but we can say we have never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time...
@@SMKWcom Roger that! Perhaps, this may also explain these Chinese spy Balloons. 🤣
Lynn! The king.
I was going to say a Twinkie or a couple fig newtons!
If he had Twinkies and didn't share we are going to be so mad!
Impressive look into the history of Cold Steel
Lynn is awesome!
Love You Lynn T. ❤
💯
Cold Steel Products now already twice saved my own life. Plus more important, prevented the rape of my wife and life of my dog when she was on a walk. So i will never ever leave my house with one.
Cs better not be charging that man when he wants a new piece lol
No better form of advertising than Lynn Thompson carrying your knife
As an European (unironically): America!!! Fuck yeah!!!
"YEESSSSSSSS"
Lynn don't you have some knives in socks? :) Love this man and his knives ❤❤❤
Knife socks! Someone write that down!
It’s good to see Lynn “out in the wild”
Lynn is wild no matter where he is
You gotta love Lynn
Love cold steel and love Lynn, I'm from Ireland and really want to go to blade show some day 90% so I can hopefully meet Lynn 😂
Lynn is awesome and if you ever find yourself on this side of the pond be sure to hit up Blade Show and stop in East Tennessee and see us at the store!
Lynn Thompson is awesome.
Lynn is in his 70's here, look how lively and energetic he is, his passion and lifestyle has definitely helped him to stay so vigorous
I feel like Lynn has some undiagnosed autism, or lead poisoning at an early age, but bless him for bringing such killer knives. Lol
Lynn seems tired, his voice his different. I hope he's in good health... Looks like he took a beating and is recovering from something.. anyone else noticed that?
Go Lynn!
I hope Mr. Thompson didn't suffer a stroke. Voice sounds a tad different.
Lynn “Slim Shady” Thompson
Because he is the real Lynn Thompson so he stood up
This is great
Thanks for watching!
its extremely funny to imagine lynn walking through a zambian market with 7 different giant knives on him
This looked like a WWF promo.
No school like the old school!
holy moly what a character, great stories
We love Lynn!
I love how over the top Lynn is.
Lynn is awesome!
great add for rifle coffee lol
thanks for watching
I must be one of the few that subconsciously want to see Lynn from CS and Anthony M. from microtech square up in a simulated knife fight lol
Someone needs to make that happen in VR 🤣
Tony just plinks in his backyard. Lynn goes spear hunting in Africa lol
Yes , Lynn is a master. SMKW I ask you did it.
I’m joining Axe gang.
Living LEGEND!
I thought that was Eminem at first.
But his bread isn't weird? Lol
China is waiting for lynn to get old before they invade the US. 😂
He's such a character 😀
💯
Ever eccentric as ever
💯
Great interview hats off for snagging the man
