Great video on showing the difference between serrations and straight edge. I think having your mom demonstrate it is better since she is not as strong as you. It shows how devastating a knife like that can be even with less force 🔪
As Thompson said there are smaller people, older, people, weaker people. I would add not everyone can afford a gun and not everyone wants to empty a mag.
Very cool having your mom help with this. Coincidentally my 70yr old mom was looking at getting a Spartan. I'm not going to lie, I was waiting for one of you to lose a finger. Lol.
The serrated spartan was one of my suggestions when cold steel where took over, and they asked what we wanted to see such a sick blade no idea why this was never thought of before the design just screams serrate me lol. So glad cold steel listened to it's fans and continues to deliver for us. Best wishes and much love to mamma slash hope you're well Josh and family.
This LANSKY is a nice sharpener for the Cold Steel serrations. I know that because I have used one like this for more than 12 years. However, the Spyderco Triangle Sharpmaker provides excellent results to the Cold Steel serrations too!
@@Jimislash it's too bad that a lot of people veer away from serrated edges because as Sal Glesser has mentioned, and my truly extensive experience indicates, all other things being equal, a serrated edge will outcut a plain edge by a factor of 2:1. Of course like many other things in life, all serrations are not made equal: Cold Steel and Spyderco serrated edges play on a different level!
full honesty, i like the old ones, i can see a little bit deeper belly and a less acute drop to the point. it was a lil more kukri before, now a lil more kopis
I like the Spartan, but I like the 4Max Scout more. That is why I bought mine. Nonetheless, it was nice to see you and Mama Slash having some Mother and Son time with knives! Cold Steel - Bringing families closer together by tearing things apart. Such fun!
I have no issues sharpening my smooth kopis blade Spartan. Just use a rod. It's definitely faster than dealing with serrations. I knotice the serrated version is full flat ground. So the tip will be weaker, but it weighs less slightly.
watched it twice - excellent demonstration - for everything except delicate wood carving - serrated seems to be the way to go Mr slash - and the spartan is next - excellent defensive weapon
Probably the serrated blade is a better cutter because its like a piece of obsidian glass arrow head But what do you do if you don't have a Lansky Cold Steel Propatory Sharper? 🤔 I will take the staight grind. But a sheath would be nice for carrying this knife 🔪 open.
Just received the serrated Black Talon 2 the other day and wow wow wow this thing is sick I now know what you mean about the cold steel knives thanks Mom, Jimi
I love everything about the Spartan except for the weight… Drags the pants down too much to carry everyday in the pocket. Have the old one, but want to get a serrated one now, I know I love my fully serrated Talwar ❤
Great video when ever I get done watching your videos I buy another coldsteel and brisket !!! Can't go wrong for sure !!! Also great job from your mother just very Nice !!!
Mom wants a guitar finger! Better learn some Elvis quick (or whatever Mom likes the most...) I guess I have to buy another Spartan, it is just too good with the serrations. Thanks.
Jimi, the new Black handled serrated Spartan at Midway USA says, has a weight of a little over 5 oz. Is that a miss print? Cause if that's the case, that'll be my next Spartan! Anyway, food for though... GREAT VIDEO here too btw!
Actually this is a good video. For a lady to cut such a thick chunk of meat with almost no effort shows that Cold Steel D. E. L. I. V. E. R. S. ! I knew the serrations make a knife slice better but how difficult is to sharpen a serrated knife? Thanks in advance. One more thing. I would like to see a “cross” between the spartan and the AK-47. The Spartan could use a metal piece at the bank end to crack things just the AK-47 can. How do u use that sharpener?
This was the first video in a long time that I was afraid for your safety Josh.... The only thing that I've always had a question about on the Spartan is how that grip locks your hand into basically one position. It seems to limit the utility of the knife but if you're just going to slash hobos I suppose it's not a big deal ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Mom is so cool! And nice nails, too!
Love your Mom! I love how you two interact with each other.
She's great. She loves me in spite of my wickedness. :)
@@Jimislash 🤣🤣🤣 Mom's are that way...🤣🤣 I only know of the good guy with the BIG heart!!!

Hi Mr Slash and Momma Slash. Thanks for sharing your moms brisket recipe. Thanks
Brilliant!!!
Brother, congratulations to your mother!! She is amazing!! I wish mine had been like this...
Thank you so much. I am very lucky.
Always great to see mom absolutely terrifying you with those awesome blades. Thanks for the great vid and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
Lol, she does. :)
sure its liter slash - when they cut the serrated edge - they take away metal - Hi Mom - love the moms - they are all the best
Brisket Bob is a goner if he shows up at church on serrated Sunday 🤣

We're doing great. Great suggestion for Cold Steel. I love this blade.
@@Jimislash come to think of it have they serrated the rajah 2 yet? 😂
@@rosscurran5650 We gotta keep on them. That and the seven inch Talwar. :)
@@Jimislash and an xl kudu and a UK legal kudu the lucky 2 is abit much for a slip joint to me.

@@georgemoutafis4399how can you sharpen a serration if you wear out the teeth? Is it impossible to get the serrations back at that point?
@@kenmastersmaster you sharpen the shallows again.
Jimislash chaneel is under new management and as of today forward will be called mamaslash
😂
That brisket test is telling. Those are rippers. Your Mom is funny.
Yeah, it really shows what can be done very quickly. Mom is the best. :)
That's awesome!! She's a fan of the Spartan 😂...she wants one now.
full honesty, i like the old ones, i can see a little bit deeper belly and a less acute drop to the point. it was a lil more kukri before, now a lil more kopis
i think the difference in weight is from the blade grind. the old one was hollow with a thick spine, while the new one is flat ground
the voice of mom sounds very simpatic, love your videos, best regards from switzerland🇨🇭✌🏻
She's sweet...and violent. Like a jalapeno jelly. :)
love how she "gets right to the point"😉
She doesn't waste any time. :)
😆 🤣 Mama Slash almost Slashed you look out 😆
She got close. :)
I like the Spartan, but I like the 4Max Scout more. That is why I bought mine. Nonetheless, it was nice to see you and Mama Slash having some Mother and Son time with knives! Cold Steel - Bringing families closer together by tearing things apart. Such fun!
Tough to beat that Scout.
@@Jimislash I know! Take care.

Your Mom is so cool...
:) Yeah, she is. Great mom.
@@Jimislash I miss mine everyday , Yet best of all I feel blest to have had her in my life for as long as I did.
Those serrations are like metal pirahna teeth!! 🐟🦷🦷🦷🙈
Dude I like your mom and I think you could get her hooked like the rest of us
She's hooked. All I get her for presents anymore are knives. :)
I sometimes watch your videos again, just to hear the intro !!!
It's so cool LOL
That's so cool. :) Thank you
Momma Slash is going to teach everyone how to scare our children. Lol
Josh, The fear in your voice was hysterical. I'm laughing so hard, my sides are aching. That's one sharp knife and one mean (in a good way) Mom.
Lol! She came closer than she realized. :)
Another great video. I would never mess with your mom. She is dangerous!
Lol, she comes from a long line of stabbers. :)
Seeing your mom cut that brisket with that serrated Spartan convinced me to buy one now! Your videos are awesome!
Thank you! :) She's vicious.
That's amazing
watched it twice - excellent demonstration - for everything except delicate wood carving - serrated seems to be the way to go Mr slash - and the spartan is next - excellent defensive weapon
Your mom cracks me up 😂 on the real, this may be my next knife here. Well the serrated lol I like my serrations
Get the Lynn Thompson one at Midway now! $99 is insane.
@@Jimislash holy hell I definitely will have to
Maybe make a vid sharpening the serrations
But I'd have to dull them. :) I'll see what I can do.
Your Mom is awesome-just like mine. :)

This was awesome 👌 👏 always happy to mama scare 😱 you a bit Mr Slash 😜
Definitely sweet with the serrations. Great video guys 👍
Yes! Thank you!
Serrations are hard to sharpen even with the tool. Why is the serrations only on one side? It's not ground out either. There's no bevel
Great video when ever I get done watching your videos I buy another coldsteel and brisket !!! Can't go wrong for sure !!! Also great job from your mother just very Nice !!!
That is awesome! :) I'll tell her. Thank you.
If your mother makes a kung fu noise, I’ll just die!
you are hilarious jimmy.
:)
Nice knife Nom. I love her.😂❤
:) She's pretty cool.
Yeaaaah I need one lol. Mom is awesome af btw
:) Thank you!
@@Jimislash you're welcome my dude! I hope you're having an awesome day
Had to come see the little angry Mexican. I was not disappointed.
😂
@@Jimislash yo mumma sold me this knife. I got the serated. Thanks guys.
@@melatonin6811 Lol, I'll let her know. She'll be tickled.
I have my own spartan non serrated its still a monster my pocket brick🤣 🤷♂️
I have too many Cold Steel knives, said nobody ever.
Never. :)
Do You prefer Spartan or Voyager XL Vaquero?
The Vaquero.
@@Jimislash I agree and I bought one plain edge and two serrated
Mom wants a guitar finger! Better learn some Elvis quick (or whatever Mom likes the most...) I guess I have to buy another Spartan, it is just too good with the serrations. Thanks.
It is awesome! I've been using it today to cut meat and paracord. I have no use for paracord, but I had to.
@@Jimislash Lol

It's not that light. I'll have to check.
I'm carrying my Spartan today. 🤔
FFG saves .5 ounce. Wow.
Slicy!
Very. :)
Of course no disrespect she's a stabber ha

How do u use that sharpener?
This one isn't that difficult. There is a sharpener made especially for Cold Steel serrations.
Hey bud your mom is cool and stabby
She is both. :)
@@Jimislash i dig your channel and info man thnx
Thank you!

It doesn't lock your hand into position, unless you need it to. It's easy to move to the forward position or further back if you want to hack with it.
Serrated. Now lock the comments.
I can't do that without making it where nobody will see yours. But I will delete all those who don't agree.
@@Jimislash Perfect
