In all of my great many years of watching knife videos on UA-cam; that opening had to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest I have borne witness to. The rest of the video was great. It was insightful, and informative. This video definitely deserves a like for every view. Great Job, and Have a Great Weekend.
Best review of the SR1 I've seen yet, very fair and comprehensive. Great to see the knife in action from abusive wood processing to fine food slicing (and even its apple 'splitting' limitations). Also really like how you open it up for us to see the guts, which oddly so rare in video reviews. All way more informative than all those looonnnggg boring blathering reviews just watching a pair hands opening and closing a knife for 20mins. One note on aggressive G10 and tight pocket clips - just remove the clip and use a piece of sandpaper to smooth the G10 under the clip's spoon - makes it a pleasure to use and will save your clothes. SR1 and Manix2XL both needed this - can't believe knife manufacturers haven't figured this out yet, flashlight manufacturer's have been smoothing the knurling under their clips for many years.
Much much Gold in that intro. You've gone up a level and have once again tickled my funny bone, Pete. I'm even gunna replay that after I watch the review. And this may well be the first time I've seriously considered a Coldsteel knife.
I reground mine, made the grind at least .125” taller, and thinned the edge around 33%. I’m not a huge fan of the thick stock, but it cuts so much better now.
Yeah Pete, im starting to think you may receive a job offer from Cold Steel. Mr Lynn Thompson's commercials look like 5yo kid kindergarten project compared to your epic intro.
Great video and info! That laugh track/pocket clip scene was a nice touch. I have been enjoying the American lawman and Ultimate hunter. This one has been on my list.
Well, poke a stick up me bum and call me a Paddle Pop! I paused at 4:25 to do a little test on my computer screen. I have an old X193HDL monitor (an Acer brand), 18" screen at 1366 x 768. Anyway, I put my open Delica up against the screen in standard view, not fullscreen and the Delicas are the exact same size. That may sound trivial, but for this geek, it was pretty cool. That's a pretty rare thing unless you have your monitors and set up for a specific size equivalence view in 3D or image editing software. I need a life...
I liked this knife BUT the first one I got had bad quality control, called Cold Steel and they were aware of the issue and told me to return to the distributor. The second one I got had better QC but not perfect for what they're msrp is. So I took it on a weekend camping trip and it couldn't cut anything around the campsite like make feather sticks and cut open a package of hot dogs, thankfully I also had a Spyderco military. When I got home and tried sharpening the thing the S35VN steel was to soft and wouldn't hold and edge. I sent it back to Cold Steel and questioned weather there was a heat treat issue. I've had to send back SOG, CRKT, Cold Steel, Emerson. ZT and Spyderco are the only folders I haven't had to send back for QC
Its a bit of a throwback to a couple vids I’ve made in the past, one recently (the Working Man review) and one from a couple years back about the lock strength. And yeah, the voiceover is not a preferred method for me - my mike aint as good as AKB
Hey, I am from Germany an it would be interesting to me if you can convert this Folder into a 2hand opening blade by removing the Thumbstuds. Because over here we are only allowed to carry a locking Blade if it is 2 hand opening. Can you open the Blade one handed even if the Studs are removed? If it is convertable I buy it immedeatly! :-) Silly Laws in Germany, a locking bladed Spyderco with an opening hole would be illegal under every circumstance, can you imagine? Keep up the good work, i like every Video I see! And those are many hehe... Sorry if my English is not on par :-!
The intro alone got the thumbs up, cold steel is basically the Torgue corporation but for knives, if only they closed themselves and put themselves back in your pocket when you throw them!
The Cold Steel theme song perhaps. Good review. There is so much cheese surrounding the CS marketing; however, they make the best hard use folders for those of us that really appreciate an affordable and well made tool in our kit.
So funny coming back and seeing this and the intro being why I ended up getting one.. I still use it hunting and sing this song every single time I open it. I was thinking about selling it but then I re watched this damn video for some reason.. 🤦
I really enjoyed the review although I am not the biggest Cold Steel fan. Can I ask what software did you use for the compositing like the explosions and so on?
Wow. Yeah those are really nice. I use Vegas Pro but haven't started with any real effects yet, but I want to at some point. I do have a PC though. You videos really look great. Very impressive that it's only iMovie and not even Final Cut Pro. I don't know a lot about Apple Products but I do know that everybody loves Final Cut Pro X. Any intentions to jump to that one at some point in the near future?
Hilarious knife. The lock looks a little better machined than some other cold steel knives. How was the action out of the box? My Lawman needed two hands to depress the lock 50% of the time before I took it apart and sanded and polished the contact areas.
Damn you Pete! Now I have another knife on my buy list. I was just barely able to find myself a Lawman (thanks for the email BTW). Love your channel! When are you reviewing the 4-Max? ;)
I like the knife Ah and by the way I am thinking making a survival knive out of rwl 34 but is this steel tough enough for lets say batoning and chopping Or will the steel break or chipp thank you Lukas
hey this folder can batone without problems, better then the most fixed blades. is this right, thats awesome. how did cold steel realize that strongness!?
Over priced smaller delicate thinner and with low material knives can cost more than sr1. Spyderco, benchmade, hogue Off grid etc have small knives with CPMs35vn twice expensive and 80% liner lock type Weaker. The only ones compared are the medfords and extrema ratio in thickness and are 5 time more $$$$$ the price. Work on farm and the sr1 have win my heart, no need too carry a fix blade when you have a SR1, AD10 or 4Max at much lower price. Can any one have test medfords or extrema ratio or off grid vs cold steel SR1, AD10 or 4MAX
hey my friend i have been watch many of your video very good job ,i want ask you something ,i did see in one video you using KME Diamond Stone Sharpening System and Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System ,between the two do you see great difference ,i do most of my knife free hand ,but i decide to get one of this any suggestion ,
I prefer not to do the talkover style, but I’d shot most of the review footage already on Dickhead Survival. Hope you forgive the tinny-ness!
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors Reckon Ur dead mate...Ur voice is coming from the Great Beyond.
Wow the intro made me realize I need this knife in my life.
*NOW YOU'RE A MAAYUN!!!*

Seeing that SR1 blast through all the planets and the sun really sold me on the knife.
That's the first time i've laughed out loud during a knife review. I love this channel.
That intro was incredible
I have the SR1 lite Tanto and it’s an awesome knife. I use daily. It’a very well built. It’s the only knife I use at camp, and it performs well.
Damn you Pete. I had finally got that song out of my head from the last time. 😂 Keep doing what you do.
That is the greatest opening I've ever seen.
You sir, are a gem.
This... this is... the greatest intro I have ever seen. You sir deserve all the moneys.

What really caught my attention was the intro, that was lit!
Best review of all time. The Lynn Thompson Bowser pic/sound killed me lol
Very fair review. Great opening segment.
The intro was Amazing lol 😂
Best intro song right before a knife review 😃
No doubt the best intro on the planet.
One of my favourite Beatles songs
That might be the greatest intro I have ever seen. Seriously, that was the shit!
When the intro has you thinking you're in some kind of South Park alternate universe lol
Love cold steel and I love your man montages equally
That song with your editing is gold 😂
Much much Gold in that intro. You've gone up a level and have once again tickled my funny bone, Pete. I'm even gunna replay that after I watch the review. And this may well be the first time I've seriously considered a Coldsteel knife.
Best into EVER!!!
This has to be the best intro to a knife video I have ever watched.Man approved
haha you should check my ad10 review
I reground mine, made the grind at least .125” taller, and thinned the edge around 33%. I’m not a huge fan of the thick stock, but it cuts so much better now.
You have the most genuine reviews on the internet.
Live it! Live it!
This video brought out the TOXIC💥MASCULINITY in me. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother ⚔️
Yeah Pete, im starting to think you may receive a job offer from Cold Steel. Mr Lynn Thompson's commercials look like 5yo kid kindergarten project compared to your epic intro.
NOW YOURE A MANNNN
This intro was beyond awesome
This video sold me on the SR1. I got mine today.
Arguably the best knife review intro bravo
Came for the reviews. Stayed for the memes. Subbed AF.
Best. Intro. Ever. lol
I really enjoyed the video Pete! Thanks!Keep it up, you have been killing it lately!
God damn it, after that intro I got so pumped I went downstairs to flip my car, failed, now I have a broken back......worth it.
Great video and info! That laugh track/pocket clip scene was a nice touch. I have been enjoying the American lawman and Ultimate hunter. This one has been on my list.

Another awesome review with a touch of humour. Simply brilliant.
LOVE the Music. BAR NONE 👍 BEST on UA-cam 🎆 🎆
Cheers mate!

Lol. The montage is genius.
Sounds like your in space
You could do some light sanding at the clip area.
Yeah, nutnfancy does a jb weld mod under the clip to smooth out the g10 so it doesnt shred the pockets
Love this intro!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh fuck me... I was laughing at the intro when you gave the knife to basil....
But the fucking crotch shot.... I fucking died lol
Great shit bro
That promotional intro video looked like it was produced by Kenny fuhkin Powers!!
Wtf did I just watch! Cedric, is this a cross between Advanced Knife Bro vs Dutch Bushcraft Knives? Well anyhow, cool vid
Its a bit of a throwback to a couple vids I’ve made in the past, one recently (the Working Man review) and one from a couple years back about the lock strength.
And yeah, the voiceover is not a preferred method for me - my mike aint as good as AKB
I love it! I wish they made a black handled version with a black coating on the blade for the tactical look of the SRK since it is just a folding SRK
Their triad locks are the strongest. Maybe not the most funny ones to use, but strongest for sure
We're all limited by the size of our wood....
The coldest of all steels
Hey, I am from Germany an it would be interesting to me if you can convert this Folder into a 2hand opening blade by removing the Thumbstuds.

And those are many hehe...
Sorry if my English is not on par :-!
The intro alone got the thumbs up, cold steel is basically the Torgue corporation but for knives, if only they closed themselves and put themselves back in your pocket when you throw them!
I have a new theme song!!!! Love it... very fitting for a cold steel.
That into was fucking awesome lol
The Cold Steel theme song perhaps. Good review. There is so much cheese surrounding the CS marketing; however, they make the best hard use folders for those of us that really appreciate an affordable and well made tool in our kit.
Best intro ever
Cedric i love your videos but this one especially got me laughing! Great stuff and finally a cold steel that looks appealing. Cheers!
So funny coming back and seeing this and the intro being why I ended up getting one.. I still use it hunting and sing this song every single time I open it. I was thinking about selling it but then I re watched this damn video for some reason.. 🤦
Thanks Pete! Can't really envision a use I'd have for this knife, but it was a good video.
Very clever. Thanks for the laugh.
That intro! 😂😂
Hahaha great editing and the man song is awesome. I have more hair on my chest then i did before i watched. I SWEAR english is my first language.
Brother... has anybody told you that you can be over the top? Yes? Good! Nice intro xD
Not a city carry knife, but I bet you would appreciate this knife in the bush...especially in tough conditions.
What a great intro
I want this so bad for no good reason. Damnit!!
very entertaining video and great info keep them rolling in
I really enjoyed the review although I am not the biggest Cold Steel fan. Can I ask what software did you use for the compositing like the explosions and so on?
alittleolder Jusy iMovie and alot of stock effects overlaid with greenscreen. Its not the best, but I can generally engineer a solution
Wow. Yeah those are really nice. I use Vegas Pro but haven't started with any real effects yet, but I want to at some point. I do have a PC though. You videos really look great. Very impressive that it's only iMovie and not even Final Cut Pro. I don't know a lot about Apple Products but I do know that everybody loves Final Cut Pro X. Any intentions to jump to that one at some point in the near future?
Cedric & Ada Gear and Outdoors you told me it was real footage? Liar!
Hilarious knife. The lock looks a little better machined than some other cold steel knives. How was the action out of the box? My Lawman needed two hands to depress the lock 50% of the time before I took it apart and sanded and polished the contact areas.
this one has a very suprisingly smooth action
Good
Epic video editing!
GREAT EDITING......DAMN DO YOU DO EDITING FOR A REAL LIVING???
Amazing Review
After intro I bought one.
Damn you Pete! Now I have another knife on my buy list. I was just barely able to find myself a Lawman (thanks for the email BTW). Love your channel! When are you reviewing the 4-Max? ;)
hahah when I’ve got a spare $500 - I would want to utterly abuse it so it would have to be my own and not a loaner!
I cannot say that I have seen any kitchen knives in S35VN lol but I'd buy some if I had
Humorous absurdity!!! The knife I mean lolol
I laughed out hard and learned as well. Great! hahaha!
trololol that intro is awesome, a fucking tiger tank ahahahahahaha
My cat needs one! she not a tank... yet.
What do you mean by exposed tang
Now you're a man, congrats 😆
I need this knife... Now where to get 250$$ from?..... "*glances at old knives*" hold my beer.
"Stupid knife" is the key phrase for me.
I like the knife
Ah and by the way I am thinking
making a survival knive out of rwl 34 but is this steel tough enough for lets say batoning and chopping
Or will the steel break or chipp thank you
Lukas
hey
this folder can batone without problems, better then the most fixed blades. is this right, thats awesome. how did cold steel realize that strongness!?
Never f'n stop.
Over priced smaller delicate thinner and with low material knives can cost more than sr1. Spyderco, benchmade, hogue Off grid etc have small knives with CPMs35vn twice expensive and 80% liner lock type Weaker. The only ones compared are the medfords and extrema ratio in thickness and are 5 time more $$$$$ the price. Work on farm and the sr1 have win my heart, no need too carry a fix blade when you have a SR1, AD10 or 4Max at much lower price.
Can any one have test medfords or extrema ratio or off grid vs cold steel SR1, AD10 or 4MAX
Just waiting review for this knives, how far this s35vn from cold steel take edge holding after cutting sisal rope.
What watch are you wearing in the beginning? (when splitting wood in the sand)
No cut wood???
Don't you make me buy this knife...
rofl that damn intro through
hey my friend i have been watch many of your video very good job ,i want ask you something ,i did see in one video you using KME Diamond Stone Sharpening System and Lansky Deluxe Knife Sharpening System ,between the two do you see great difference ,i do most of my knife free hand ,but i decide to get one of this any suggestion ,
the KME is vastly superior but also vastly more costly to get the full kit. but its definitely the best of the two
yes i know about the price different , i was just curious if worth buy it in the long run the KME will do better job you think
What watch is that???
