The CT2 is a great boot knife. I have worn it for hours on my 6-inch leather boot. Comfortable and light. The clip is sturdy and very secure on my boot. I highly recommend trying it. Cheers
Your Channel is Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch. I have a Counter Tac 2 on its way. Unfortunately MD doesn’t allow daggers and Double edged Blades, well that’s not going to stop me from carrying a Small one for SD. I live in a wooded neighborhood and I work on ETL Right of ways. There is no telling what I’ll run into out there, so it’s always nice to be prepared.
I have them both. Mine are old so they're both made in Japan. Superb craftsmanship and sharp as they could possibly be. Wouldn't be fun to be stabbed with these.
Yeah, those Blades are Perfect for Personal Protection. Cold Steel has been one of my Favorite Brands for Decades. There are 3 CS Blades on my table opposite me right now. My First Tanto was CS. When that company first started out, I remember their Advertisements were in Gun Magazines and it showed some men sitting down playing cards and one guy puts a Tanto through the man's hand and cards as if he caught the man cheating. After seeing that Tanto, I just had to have one. You don't see Advertisements like that anymore.
I recently picked up the counter-tac 1 and have used it as a belt knife and a boot knife. I'm sure I'll pick up the small one at some point and add to my neck knife collection.
Thanks for another great review- I’ve had the counter tac one for awhile- I just slip it in my vest pocket where I can have my hand on it while just sitting on the porch, going down to get the mail or walking where dogs are. It’s a knife that gives you that non verbal gut feeling of being really well armed. Some knives give that, some don’t- regardless of size or price.
Spot on its a addiction threw n threw my partner doesn't quite understand my passion for them but she supports me so you definitely brought home a true statement about ( the struggle is real )
That blade in John Wick II is definitely the Counter Tac 2. Throughout the movies in fact there are various Cold Steel models including the push daggers being used by Ares, the female crime gang member.
They used multiple Cold steel knives including the Tokyo Spike, the tiger claw, the tiger steel claw, the folder one both of the push daggers, and the counter tac, I think I'm missing one lol oh yeah the Black talon and the double agent which is my personal carry serrated
Dude, I've been seeing your videos a lot lately! I even saw one of your clips in an Instagram real last night. You were chopping the shit out of something with a knife. It was awesome. I came to find you and subscribe! Great content. I'm totally getting one of these CT2s
i got mine years ago, so long ago its a seki city counter tac 1, i put it on an airsoft shoulder rig so i don't have to worry about reaching into a boot or pocket, i can grab a cigerette from my pocket "T" put the pack back and grab it if i need to, i carry 2 blades, i wear the shoulder rig daily and carry a crkt mirage with the stupid pocket clip removed in my pocket
I freeze framed the clip. It is a CS Counter Tac 1. I love the Commando Dagger Fairbairn-sykes 🗡 but they are huge, they are illegal everywhere and cost $200 or more, unless you get reproduction.
It's a slick and all business knife for sure. I do believe I'll be ordering one. This is a blade Sam Fisher would consider carrying. Can't go wrong with cold steel.
Bro!!! You have read my mind! My wife complains about all of my Cold Steel knives, but she owns SEVERAL pocketbooks! Since I brought up the argument of knives VS pocketbooks, she has realized everybody has their thing of what they collect in their pursuit of happiness. It is to the point that we don't talk much about it anymore. As a Cold Steel fan, the Counter Tac knives are nice, but I am a Tanto point fan first and foremost. Plus, double edged knives are illegal in my state of North Carolina. I do own several Cold Steel spear and drop point knives (Voyager Large Drop Point, Voyager XL Drop Point, Counter Point XL, Counter Point One, 4max Scout). In fact, I am messaging you with my Voyager XL Drop Point beside me right now. I do like your style of video: always outdoors and nothing too flashy. Nice video as always!
So true about men and knives being similar to women and shoes. I don’t know why my girlfriend keeps buying clothes and shoes but it’s probably because she feels the same way I do about those things as I do about knives.
I actually carry my knives knowing that I have more chances of using it against a dog than against a human. I'd comply in a robbery situation and I don't have any enemies that would try to kill me. So, I have statistically more chances of being killed by a dog than by a human. That's why choosing a knife is so hard for me: I can't decide if 10cm blades are lethal enough against both dogs and humans. Brazil laws regarding knife carry are confuse, undefinitive and contradictory. Therefore, we're subject to judge's mood. Depending on our "luck", we can carry 9cm blades and get busted or carry a damn bowie freely.
Inluv the Counter Tac 1 & the Counter Tac 2 is just too small ,but I like the Counter Tac 2 just not as mush as the Counter Tac 1 😊 but they both are lots of fun 🎉
I will be getting the 5 inch blade version but man I wished it wasn’t flat sided on one side. I would prefer both sides to be the same to give it better structural integrity.
Hi Love your Videos! I've been considering getting the mini leatherneck or the counter tac 2. In your experience, which one of these knifes have better ergonomics, and which one is less slippery when used? If you are carrying this on your belt with C clamp, which one is better? Thanks!
How do you sharpen something with no back? I dont think I have a single knife that isnt bevel on both sides. Do you just run the back edge on a really fine ceramic or strop when you are finished sharpening it?
Amen Brother..!!! I think you're right with all of that what , you said in that video!!! I'm coll with everything and i know exactly what you mean about this speziell. Edition... 😂
Dude So true about the knife thing! I've got WAY too many so you shouldn't say that you cant😂. Been trying to weed out ones I'll never use and give Alot away and trash the Joke ones. And try every day to not buy more and You ain't helpin😂😂😂
Man I love this knife but to be completely honest I'm not a huge fan of the knife being flat on one side, not flat per say but for a lack of a better way of describing it, but I would rather it be shaped the same on both sides . Is the leatherneck like this also? Or does it have the same shape on both sides, I might go with the leatherneck if it's shaped the same on both sides. Looking for a great boot dagger, any help on this is much appreciated friend thaks 🙂
The asymmetry has always driven me away from it… I get the idea but don’t like the look… just my opinion ! But still cool video , thanks for the review !
It isn't the same blade. The one in the movie has something written across the base of the blade, just above the hilt. The counter tac 1 doesn't have that
Sadly they r a no go in my state for carry. it's about ACCESSORIZING your knife has to match yr jeans or shirt & boots "does this 1 make my butt look big or this 1' ok the GF just gave me "THE LOOK "as i typed this, i better stop. Crap now i have to buy her a new Grurnt Style shirt to match her CS Espada Medium
I have the Safe Maker 1, which is basically the Counter Tac with a push dagger handle and I like the design as a stabbing wea.... err, puncturing tool, but dang if I can get it sharp. Maybe I got one from a bad batch, but it's the hardest steel I have ever seen. I know it's just AUS 8, but I can't even cut the burr off with a diamond strop. It's crazy.
CS makes great knives I’ll have to pick one of these up. You’re the first person I’ve heard mention dog attacks and that is one of the reasons I edc a Safemaker 1 push dagger. I was attacked by 2 pit bulls once and managed to kick and punch my way out of it. Always a good idea to carry a blade 👍
I have MANY Cold Steel knives and these TAC series are indeed AMAZING!!!
Hard hitting, brother 💯💯🙂👊

You as well my friend 🙂
Finally found a cure for my blade addiction. Got old, on a small fixed income and can rarely afford any. Even inexpensive ones. I like Cold Steel .
Awesome!

Yeah Maryland needs Doug Ritter to have a talk with them about Knife Rights
you should be able to carry just like they do in Texas.😊
@@powerplay4real174I love Texas 👍🔪.

I guess I,'ll have to get both knives. Thanks for the review🗡🗡

Just got the Counter Tac 1 after having the 2 for a while,best boot knife so far .
Spot on its a addiction threw n threw my partner doesn't quite understand my passion for them but she supports me so you definitely brought home a true statement about ( the struggle is real )
Haha most definitely!
So true bro! Train with all your weapons! And awesome daggers!
Thanks bud! Yes sir muscle memory in everything
@@411Outdoors So true, bro! May I suggest reviewing P.C.P. air rifles and less-than-lethal launchers?
That blade in John Wick II is definitely the Counter Tac 2. Throughout the movies in fact there are various Cold Steel models including the push daggers being used by Ares, the female crime gang member.
Yep👍👍
Yeah. I freeze framed it. It has to be CS 5" dagger.
Its the 1. Not the 2.
They used multiple Cold steel knives including the Tokyo Spike, the tiger claw, the tiger steel claw, the folder one both of the push daggers, and the counter tac, I think I'm missing one lol oh yeah the Black talon and the double agent which is my personal carry serrated
Very cool knife, looks like a step up from the Smith & Wesson SWHRT9. Thank you!!!
Anytime bro! Def a step up. I love that smith and Wesson knife. I kind of wish this would have the same grind
Thanks braddah, been looking at these for a while now, think I will pick up the I.
Glad I could help!

I believe you are right about Cassian's knife. Wanna catch John Wick part 4. You're also right about the struggle of knife addiction brother

I’m wanting to come up with a lower leg (calf) rig, with a blade like this
Wild dogs are a good reason for steel or composite toe boots🤙🏼
Yes!
Weird chisel grind. I'll move on to a different CS model. Thanks for the review.
Definitely not a fan of that grind. Thanks!
The Counter Tac 2 would make a freat nwxk knife in a few different ways 🎉😊

This is a chisel grind and I’ve actually had to look up a tutorial on sharpening chisel grind. There’s a few out there
NJ we are not supposed to carry any daggers 😢
Amen Brother..!!! I think you're right with all of that what , you said in that video!!! I'm coll with everything and i know exactly what you mean about this speziell. Edition... 😂
So hard in the UK 🇬🇧 can't carry much, and its hard to defend yourself because of the law 😕 😢
I’m so sorry to hear! Can you carry small batons by chance?
@411 Outdoors LLC you can't carry anything that is for self defence, I carry a swiss army knife
I'd say it is
Best Combat Knife is my Dagger 🗡️⚔️🗡️

Absolutely 🙂👍 411outdoorsllc@gmail.com
Is the belt clip removerable on the one and two? Thanks.

Thanks.@@411Outdoors

Hello friend ! Check out the Smith and Wesson HRT
It does look like Casian's
Definitely 👍
How the countertac performs for Throwing?
The big one throws very well but I wouldn’t because it’s an over molded handle
I want one but I can't carry it in pa
Some definite strong regulations out there
Lol... Not as easy as you think... Heck, it's REALLY hard to do what you do. 😊😊😊
Thank you sir 🙂👊
The asymmetry has always driven me away from it… I get the idea but don’t like the look… just my opinion ! But still cool video , thanks for the review !
next review: tai pan
Screw regulations. Criminals do what ever they want
Very true and get that 💯
and dogs sometimes also do what they want. I got almost bitten by one, more likely than having to use your knife as defense against a human imo...
@JT-466 having a dagger is better than nothing against a pibull
100% same knife in Wick
Most def👍👍
It isn't the same blade. The one in the movie has something written across the base of the blade, just above the hilt. The counter tac 1 doesn't have that
👍 I’m sure his had a better sheath
@@411Outdoors yeah most likely
Sadly they r a no go in my state for carry. it's about ACCESSORIZING your knife has to match yr jeans or shirt & boots "does this 1 make my butt look big or this 1' ok the GF just gave me "THE LOOK "as i typed this, i better stop.

These are definitely some highly regulated blades. Even in my state.
