Owning a functional Katana, even if it's a machete, is fulfilling a dream! This Katana is way better than all the cheap 200 $ katana fakes over there and it's way more resilient and durable. I put it through hell and it held it's own pretty good. Thank you guys for making this!
Hey Lynn I bought one and I dont regret it! So much fun.... my wife's rose bushes did not see it coming lol
HAHAHAHA
Did it come sharp or did you have to sharpen the blade? Interested at getting one
@@d.l.4873 I got one a couple years ago and it came sharp.....i always sharpen all my stuff anyway because i like a razor edge....if you are going to kill rose bushes i would not sharpen it, but if you have it as a weapon you can always put a razor edge on it. I highly recommend this sword. The handle is durable and will not come undone because it is solid with a wrapped look. My next one will be the chinese war sword.
@@nameless-qi9yo thx for the info bro
I've been thinking about this one for a long time and just purchased it on Amazon minutes ago. You guys who already have them and made these comments awhile back, are you still loving the blade?
Katana Machete is doing great job, to prevent from home invasion
Huh
@@jackstoutamore8541 stfu
As much as thats true it heavy and slow to wield....i prefer the Jungle Machete its short yet thick and can hack
I've killed 50 men defending my home with mine. 50...or was it 60?
I really want to thank you Lynn and Cold Steel for the amazing products you all have produced. Owning many of your blades like the 4MAX and Spartan, the three items that hold dear to me are the Cold Steel Tactical Katana Machete, Cold Steel Wakizashi Machete, and the Cold Steel Recon 1 Tanto (S35VN), because these three makes me feel like a modern day tactical samurai. Arigatōgozaimashita!
For an economical machete its quite good. It stays straight during hard impacts. Other cheap machetes get bent.
For good value work machete item this gets the job done
Its a really good bush whacker for rain forest trail clearing..
I personally bought many Cold Steel items are are very happy with them .... They are great tools at a great price !
This things got the genes of a machete but the speed and elegance of a katana real nice looking blade
Lynn is a man that deserve respect, his words are honest :-)
1) I have one of these.
2) I have also lived in Japan, and had the privilege of being allowed to handle actual samurai swords that were hundreds of years old.
I will say this:
a) This machete is every bit as lethal a weapon as a katana is.
b) The machete is waaaaaay easier to care for.
c) Actual katanas are ridiculously heavy. Actually experiencing it, made me think, "Damn, I actually am glad I live in an age where I don't need one of these. I would have sucked at it."
d) Actual katanas are very delicate. If you actually ever did bang it into anything, it would chip or break. Actual samurai would try not to go edge to edge in combat (instead, trying to deflect the opponent's blow with the broad part of the blade), because that's the quick way to ruin your sword.
c) Actual katanas require polishing (even if they just sit there), powdering, etc. If you decided to own one, you're signing up for a lot of commitment.
I'm a practical guy, so the machete is the clear winner, for backyard hooliganism. Haha. 99.9% of people who aren't actual samurai, would end up ruining a real katana, if they ever got to own one.
This comment is so helpful, thanks for the in-depth commentary!
@@gamer-lysolman Always happy to share. =)
Baddest Burrito 🌯 I also just got mine today and holy it was a bit heavier than I expected. Was looking for a practical blade as well as one that’s aesthetic, so this really met my expectations.
Baddest Burrito Out of curiosity, I live in NY, and am unsure of whether I can carry a machete katana of this sort in my car. Do you have any leads on this?
@@gamer-lysolman Oh wow, okay...you definitely would not want an ACTUAL katana, then. The cold steel machete is much, much lighter. Actual katanas are not sledge-hammer heavy, but they're closer than you would expect, after watching samurai/ninja movies. They're cool, but woefully impractical.
Sold!!! That thing is bad ass!
I’m picking one up. Thanks Lynn!
I am from the Grand Rapids, Mi area. I purchased one of these (and several other Cold Steel "toys") as additional items to add to my home protection arsenal. As I was very pleased with the "out of the box" edge on the blade, I opted to have this Tactical Katana (along with 2 other Cold Steel Machetes) sharpened professionally by an individual who sharpens the knives for the local Chinese/Japanese eateries. When he asked me how I "wanted them sharpened?" I replied, "Razor Sharpe. These aren't for clearing brush!" He agreed to sharpen them 1 time for me. LOL. Seriously, these will most definitely lop off the limb of any house mouse. No noise (swoosh); No muzzle flash; No ballistics; No worries.
*Thank you Mr. Thompson...I bought a **_Tactical Katana Machete_** (here in Brazil)....and I am very satisfied. I certainly wouldn't have enough money to spend on a katana. The **_Tactical Katana Machete_** is fantastic....congratulations on the product.*
Pagou quanto na sua? Está em falta em todos os lugares!
Your passion has sold me . I’m getting one
I've been on the fence about this machete for awhile...this video was the final selling point necessary. Getting one!
I'm glad they film these on the same set as my favorite BDSM porn.
Yuck 🤮
@@antijudeantimuslim7953 r/woooosh
Lynn is right I bought one and I don't regret it at all. Great Product
I purchased one also. It does cut, slash or thrust hard materials. I have no regrets about my few Cold Steel blades until now. Excellent.
Was it good
Honestly, their machetes cut wayyy better than a lot of swords out there.
Kinda hyh
I love my tactical katana machete!!! It cuts well and is very very fast I was excited to see the wakizashi model coming. I always wanted a shorter version to carry on my belt
CONN1223
Don't neglect to give the Tanto Machete a look
Ted Schreier I’m looking into it but I’m also looking at other possible blade shapes and designs too like maybe a cutlass or a Bowie machete or maybe even the Chinese war sword style so I can actually process wood for camping. God I love cold steel for all the diversity they offer in the weapons
CONN1223
For Chopping and Splitting the Kukri's excel!
Ted Schreier I own that one too it’s been one of my favorite weapons for years just a crazy beater machete !!
Gotta love how he sells these lol it was like one of those feed the children commercials still in love coldsteel and the products they sell never let me down 👍👍
I have many cold steel swords and matchette counterparts. They are awesome for what they are. I'm glad they are made.
Thanks Lynn your a legend bought one 👍🏽 respect from Australia
Lynn C. Thompson is such a master of the deadly ninpo arts that a single strike from his tacticool katchete can blast the skull completely out of this 110% realistic ballistic gel human analog. Iza! Jin jou ni! Ippon ne, shoubu!
balistic gel torsos back at it again! 👍👍😃
I own the Tanto Machete and the Katana Machete. Must I sharpen them to get the results you show here or should I leave them as they are for SD ?
They’re not bad out of the box but a few minutes on the belt grinder and on the buffing wheel will greatly improve an already amazing piece.
I believe you Mr. Lynn, All I own is COLDSTEEL! nothing else.
I practise Iaido and we do Tamashigiri once a year with a super expensive Katana from the Dojo and everyone is always nervous cutting with something that has the price of a new car.
Now I can't decide maybe you all will help me out, should I get this and the wakizashi or the wakizashi and the tanto?
Is there any in stock?
Own both the katana and wakizashi version of these i can say that they are deadly tools
The smallest of the set, the tactical tanto (13 inch blade) is also quite deadly
Hi Lynn,
I’m thinking of buying this sword or the Cold Steel Chinese sword. I really like the look of that. Which would you recommend please?
it just needs a sheath made of polypropylene. also in theory one could strike with the sheath , being what its made of...
isn't this just a Wakizashi at this point?
I did not know that it was this cheat forget Christmas I’m getting it Tuesday soon as I get paid, I heard of you guys though Tim the Slovk Master‼️ I love your videos and I’m in love with the Extraordinary,Gorgeous, and Affordable Weapons ‼️‼️💙💙 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HARD WORK AND EXCEEDINGLY DEVINE VIDEOS JUST THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS🙏🏽
Wau realy , for under 50$? i have some question :
-the material of katana is a made laser cuttting from plate , or is forged ?
-and we used any type of theramal proces ? ( hardened ..or ? )
- and how see blade in handle, blade is durring in all lenght or no ?
- and if i used blade as arm leverer, blade will be bended or broken in extreme power..?
thanks for answer
1. It’s basically a machete-style blank, so it’s laser cut. That’s what keeps the cost this low.
2. Yes, it’s properly hardened and spring tempered. The heat treatment is done quite well, resulting in good toughness, and very easy to sharpen.
3. The tang runs all the way under the handle, but it is fully enclosed by the injection molded plastic handle.
4. This blade is definitely not made for prying or using as a lever. It’s thin and long. It’s a sword not a crowbar. Get a crowbar for that.
Hope this helps.
Are these being shipped to the UK before they try and ban us from owning anything at all over here ? Its 1984 on steroids.
Already illegal. Curved blade over 50cm and most certainly NOT made with traditional methods.
SInce when does the UK measure in metric?
Criminal Justice Act 1988 - Amendment order 2008 specifies 50cm in length from tip of blade to top of handle.
Hands down, UK is imply a not functional nation anymore, period.
Everything is banned, or next to being banned.
To think that the UK had (like every other European nations) an ancient and amazing tradition of weapons, even classy piratry etc and... well, watching the UK now.
England sounds like a dictatorship
I have a ESEE Junglas so I’m not really in the need of another machete but the fact this this is designed as a katana and much cheaper than my Junglas is very appealing..does it come with the kydex/injection molded plastic sheath Secure-X sheath like the Recon Tanto and the SRK?if so,I’m ordering one today
Hello, this is this Maczeta Cold Steel Tactical Katana 97TKMS
Cold Steel CS97TKMS ?
Does it come out that sharp ? Please someone tell me !
Depends. A friend of mine received the 'Cold Steel Tactical Katana Machete' pretty sharp, out of the box. Mine was mildly sharp ut enough for screw pretty bad :-)
I have this sword and it came in the mail sharp enough to do what this guy is doing. I always put a razor edge on all my blades but yes it *does* arrive sharp.
I bought one recently and it is completely useless. They may have made sharp ones in the old days, but nowadays they're just unsharpened crap. The blade is chipped in 8-10 inches sections, and the whole blade is covered in black paint, like a magnum kukri machete, meaning it's useless and needs sharpening.
for those who dislike the handle, i found that some hockey tape and some sand paper has done wonders. sand down any real high points and then wrap the handle a few time and problem solved.
That edge 😍
Rolling Money virtuevoice sharpened 😁
Damn dat leg cut was legit. Nice strike
What is the difference between 97TKMZ and 97TKMS models?
Is this the 24in blade ???
Cold Steel in the words of Tina Turner, "Simply the best!"
😂
This great and right
Tina Turner said that about a cold Steel product?
The gladius machete is my go to that I keep by my bed, but this one might just give it a run for its money.
Hayden Leiker
This is the one that lives by my bed, my gladius lives in my car. No regrets there!
Donutasaurus Who said I needed them? I like collecting them and they're a lot of fun to use when camping or doing yardwork. 😂😂😂
@@roadman2886 u don't have a choice in the matter. Hardly the fearsome red coats of the past...like nutered bulldogs youare
@@roadman2886 "Here in England we don't need machetes because we aren't psychos". Is that why you guys are having such trouble with people being stabbed left and right over there? Don't worry though everything will all be fixed soon when your government bans "pointy knives" 😂🤣.....Nobody cares what you Brits think
@@roadman2886 then why you even watching this video and commenting on it?
These demonstrations were NOT with a FACTORY EDGE, you will have to sharpen these blades yourself to achieve this level of performance. Tank of a machete doe, Have cleared many acres of vegetation and saplings with this blade. Fantastic. Linn Thompson ( Cold Steel ) is the Kalashnikov of Blades.

Bought the tactical wakizashi yesterday.❤
It's amazing I got mine recently and want to get a stand for it but I want to make a wooden saya/sheath cause the original is kinda bulky other than that amazing work
Just ordered one, will be here in 3 days.
Going 2 miss these videos
Tactical - Katana
Sounds fucking awesome
Cool, is it gonna be on the UK site too?
Love all your stuff I have reviewed quite a few
Ohhh my god this is what I want for Christmas 🎄

FATALITY
I like this man so much.

3:49 sooo satisfying, beautiful work yall
I'm tossing one of these in the toolbox of my truck. Kickass man.
Thank you so that I can afford my favorite Katana
Thank u cold steel thank u thank u for this katana i realy love it my tactical katana i love u .. U mada my dream true
Yah im getting one. Love the Blade Man.
I live in México and I ordered one, completely love it is sharp af I almost cut my finger off 😂
HAHA careful fella.
Please make a messer version!
Can you guys (Cold Steel) put out a tutorial video on how to sharpen this Katana? As well as videos on how to sharpen your other swords and knives? That would really help. I know many people already know this stuff but for people like myself that would be great. I've seen other videos on how to sharpen Katana's, but I wanna see how you guys doit. 😁👍
I own that, and it's good!
I have one of these....i do not abuse it this way though lol....it is a good quality weapon...i was very surprised when i got it....it looks great too....if you want one,, get it and you will love it.
I'd Really Really Love to have that Katana Machete.
Excellent video!!!
Cold Steel is getting deep and personal nowadays huh? Gotta say though, I was skeptical of their earlier machete versions of historical pieces but this has me convinced. Oughta get one for myself. I wonder if they make a longsword machete...
You should watch the demo for the chinese war sword....AWESOME sword!!!
Fun fact: I got this and was cutting trees in the woods for fun and due to improper form and technique smacked next to my shin with it and it left a pretty nasty gash.
Love the blade still, but I realized I'm a fool
Noticed its not great for the thrust attacks
Nice, I like it.
Lynn Thompson reminds me of the new millenial axle rose
I have got to have one.
BASED stuff right there
I've always wanted a real katana to have fun and chop stuff with, but do t have the wallet for it and if I did I couldn't bring myself to use such a nice sword. This is the best option, and for people who don't know, 1055 steel can take a whooping and keep going. I'm talking go to war with it tough.
Tactical Katana Machete Hattori Hanzo !
I just bought one, it feels like it can destroy everything except itself.
Mine sure did not come out of the box sharp more like a saw was very disappointed
John Deere cold steel ships all machete and swords with a dulled edge for safety. The knive come extremely sharp though
John Deere sorry to hear that, mine was sharp when it arrived.

Even my dad wants this
Unfortunately not available in Pakistan
This thing rules. Also, I'm waiting for a medieval hand and a half sword machete or maybe an arming sword machete. Please please please! Take my money!
I have this sword, it is awesome. My next one will be the chinese war sword.
I have 7 cold steel knives I want more. They hold up
Lynn C. Thompson, certified bad ass.
I want this katana so bad!! But in my country isn't $60, it costs $400😭😭😭😭
wtf where do you live ? o_O
It ducks he sold it best blade company ever
Lynn made/designed/forged nothing, it's all done by the factory in SA. He just sticks the name Cold Steel on it, and re sells it to you guy's.
It is still a good weapon, i have one and i would recommend them.
its only real problem is the handle its handle is extremely uncomfortable and little shock resistance
You can grind that off a little bit and wrap it like a true katana.
@@Roman-bg8zb no to little shock resistance
@@thegodhoward8037 This is very true, and the biggest complaint I had with mine. The hard polypropylene scales are terrible at absorbing shock, because of the nature of the material. I’ve long since moved on to other blades, but I have good memories of my CS “Tactical” Katana, it helped learn how to properly wield and cut with a long blade. For $60 or less, it’s quite good for what it is. Although by now, they should’ve definitely made some revisions to the handle design.
Oooooooooooooooo this looks rlly nice
Its my dream zombie sword, I love mine
LOVE MINE!
I have seen people get three swords for the price of this one with the stand to display them, the big deference is they don't cut and this one does ,,I want what will cut and the Cold Steel Tactical Katana Machete is a cutting monster for the price.
RIP headphone users lol
_B E G O N E T H O T_
This Katana is my baby, named her Beatrix
If Texas passes the law of open carry swords to remove guns? Best bet I be getting this just to move to Texas
This not technically a katana it is more smaller and a sub especie ir type
Off topic but, BRING BACK LTC KUKRI!!
They are not supposed to be a historical reproduction of katanas it's for if you need a machete and you like the way katanas look
I have one and it could be a very effective weapon if needed.
PS. How can I get a job testing Cold Steel products?..it looks like so much fun tearing into ballistics gel torsos,pigs,cow skulls,etc..lmao..these Cold Steel videos look like so much fun to make
Fuck yeah,thanks man
