    Definitely my favorite blade from Cold Steel, love the feel of this bad boy. If you're on the edge of buying this puppy - go for it, you will definitely be glad you did. Already had mine for months, but seeing this cut and stress test makes me that much more happy with my purchase. Top quality company. Have had their knives for years with zero malfunctions or issues. Also the ti-lite 6 in blade is a great EDC in my opinion. Perfect for precision.

      why a longer handle, the handle is quite long allready. It is not a two handed sword it's a knife. And you must be able to change grip fast, so the grip is perfect. These grips are the best grips CS has ever made.

    • @semadragun

      ​@semadragun Yes, and most people have never used a short sword for anything. You need a little play in the handle. A 12 inch Tanto has been on my wish list for many years. They're very aerodynamic.

Even my 9yo daughter loves it. We were in the woods cutting sticks, gave her the ti-lite to try instead of her Mora. After a few cuts she said I could keep the Mora, lol

    I have the 6" Master Tanto in San Mai, which was one of the last ones sold before Lynn sold the company. There are a couple of surface blemishes on it, including a small vertical scratch on the left side of the spine that you can feel with a thumb nail, as well as horizontal surface scratches on the left-side of the spine stretching about half-the length of the blade. I half-considered sending it back, but seeing as how it's going to be a carry knife and probably used for car defense, then I opted not to. It also wasn't as sharp as I expected it to be. But my next blade will be a Master Tanto in 3V, so hopefully it will be finished better than this one was. Overall, I give my San Mai version a 3 out of 5.

    Sooo, what would happen if, say, you take the same blade, give it a stonewash finish, and use Griv-Ex instead of Aluminum for the handle fittings?
    Maybe a Magnum Scout could cut the price by 30%?
    I'd definitely take AUS-10 if that would knock the price down even more, VG-10 and AUS-10 are roughly equivalent in my mind so if AUS-10 costs significantly less then I'd say it's the better option.

      Not that bad the price . I use Klarna to buy my more expensive knifes . Zero interest and you pay the first payment upfront and 3 more payments every 2 weeks . Zero interest…. Just purchased the Spyderco darn dao flash batch . They had 1 left at blade hQ and it’s a beast . It was 455 total and I pay 121 ever other week . Have 1 payment left. Then my next Klarna use is for the Medford Usmc fighter. It’s 500 bucks . I could buy it straight up , but why if it’s zero interest. Plus I can save my cash if I need it , and when you’re done paying them off it’s like you got it for free in a crazy way . I only say that is because all the money I would waste each paycheck on stupid shit like scratch tickets and other junk . Knowing I have to make my payments keeps me from wasting money on crap that is worthless from Walmart or 711 . Plus high end knifes are a investment. Well the ones I buy

I filed a report to the postal inspection service last month and they've done absolutely nothing to date. I was home waiting for the package the whole time to arrive. Even took off work while I received two other separate orders in the mail that day. Unable to get a refund from the online retailer as the package shows it was "delivered". Absolute incompetence from my local USPS service as I take a huge loss for their "error" they're not willing to admit.

    I don't consdier that a true test of its sharpness, but of strength. When you hit your target in a downward sloping attack, the resistance is enhanced by that downward stroke against it being held aloft with a hook. If you truly want to test the sharpness of that blade, hit that rope at a 90-degree angle perpendicular to that hanging length of rope. Almost all of the Katana videos I've seen with a person slicking through a bundle of reeds, do so at a downward angle. It is all for show !
