    It all started with the AD-10 some years back when i turned into a Demko fan. Ended up getting various other cold steels he designed & have a difficult time trusting other locks. Good review. I’ll be adding this one to the collection as well.

  • @Southernguitar74

    I only use a fixed blade for hunting. Too much gunk gets into hard to clean places on a folder. Still, it looks like a good folder for plenty of things.

    • @AcidTripwire
      @AcidTripwire 4 роки тому

      This thing is just the blade, two pieces of G10, the washers and the lockback. You can just run some water over it, dry off and it's good to go. Splash it around in some warm soapy water if you have the luxury. Surprisingly easy maintenance!

    Aaron, I own the earlier version of the Ultimate Hunter in CTS-XHP Steel for around 3 years now. This knife is great on cutting meat and all other foods, all utility work and many other tasks. The ONLY thing it does not excel at is, wood processing. I truly hope you get to review the Cold Steel AD10. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️✝️

    @jeffhayden2737 4 роки тому +9

    Always great videos, it seems to me there is a point when a folding knife gets big an heavy enough that you might as well carry a fixed blade . The Bush Ranger although a great knife reaches that point for me whereas the Ultimate Hunter does every outdoor task I've thrown at it and still is small and light enough to warrant carrying instead of a fixed.

    • @headholio
      @headholio 9 місяців тому +1

      I agree with this. To say the bush ranger excels in every other category is wrong. It is worse for pocket carry. That's what makes the ultimate hunter more desirable for me. Awesome heavy duty capability taking up reasonable pocket space and weight.

    Nice review Aaron . I have the XHP model and it didn't have those issues with the lock , the f&f was excellent . I never really connected with the knife , I'm not a Hunter, and I like my knives to have a pointier tip for piercing materials easier , and self-defense purposes. Me , I love my Recon1's and Voyager's , and their cheaper. The Voyager is grossly underrated, imo and is one of the Best all around budget , edc , self-defense knives on the planet.

    I'm addicted to the Spyder hole but, anyways, I find that blade too wide to do fine tasks considering that for batoning or chopping I'd never use any folder, specially if it is not cheap (plus shipping and import taxes in my case being European). A Voyager, American Lawman or Recon would be my limits of practicity and I am not exactly planning to get lost in the Amazon carrying only a folder.

      Call out time. I'm challenging you to buy this knife and a USA made knife and put a whooping on them. Let's see which one handles the beating better. Spoiler alert: the Ultimate hunter will survive way longer than any Buck, Spyderco, ZT, Kershaw, Hinderer, CRK, etc that you will find out there. Get to filming. I even subbed and hit the bell icon so I can see when you upload the video!

      Not this ignorant BS again. Everyone in the knife collecting community knows that Taiwan makes quality knives. Not everything has to be manufactured in the U.S. to be considered quality and not "junk."
