- Magnum Tanto XII by Cold Steel
12" long blade of VG10 San-Mai Steel
I sometimes get comments chastising me for calling a knife a weapon when another person sees it as a tool. Most knives have multiple uses. That's why I love them.
Some knives though are clearly weapons. Sure, you could use it as a tool, but that would be like chopping wood with a sword.
THIS IS NOT A MACHETE. THIS IS NOT FOR OPENING BOXES.
If you think this is a "Tool", please just fuck off! 😂
Want to know the definition of a "Mansplainer"? Just see the comments below. White Males aged 18-35 LOVE to point out obvious things like they just discovered something new...
Hi! I have two neurons, and I want to be the 100th person to rage on how a weapon is always a kind of tool... 😂
My God you male knife collectors are SUPER EASY TO TRIGGER!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
Then there are the obvious shitposters that would find something to say if I just uploaded a video of silent white noise...
Joke: Where does a "Mansplainer" get his water?
From a Well actually... 😂🤣😂🤣😂
@@goyoelburrothat one took me a minute 😂
Tools of trade, or tools of war, a tool is best used as intended 😉
you seem fun to hang out with….
Communist.
"Every hand held object can be used as a tool only when malicious behavior is put behind it does that object becomes a weapon".
True that, but some objects are better weapons than others, and some objects are made to be weapons.
You could use this to cut rope, but that would be like using a katana to chop wood...
@@goyoelburro if you look at the function and design of the tanto you can use it for several real world applications from cutting food to also chopping kindling for a fire as well as self defense or in your own opinion strictly a weapon this is why every blade or therefore defensive style product is considered a tool until you designate it a weapon take for instance the rifle or AR-15 not designed with a specific application other than the function of igniting a live round of ammunition therefore making the rifle or any gun or weapon still technically a tool yes some thing are designed to be more effective at causing weaponry harm but that doesn't change the fact that it is still a tool.
@@austinthompson5648 you are splitting the most minuet of hairs. I can use a rock as a tool or a weapon, it is best suited as a rock though. Just as most knives have intended purposes based on design and material. The knife he showcases is a borderline short sword and definitely intended to be a weapon. There is nothing wrong with that so why are you dying on that hill. That knife would make a garbage tool.
Tanto's were designed for extreme close up personal protection when you didn't have your katana on your person they were also intended for Hara kari I.e. ritual suicide
Yeah and ketchup can be used as pasta sauce and you can drive a nail with a wrench.
a weapon is a tool. Its a tool for cutting/maiming and killing.
Philosophically yes, but practically we usually draw a line between tool and weapon.
I've had many people try to suggest that some of my obvious weapons were actually bushcraft/box opening tools.
That's the point I was trying to make.
Duuuuudss with wrenched heree. Same voice
@@goyoelburroyou're still stupid bro you're still trying to differentiate the definition of a tool but weapons still our tools they still fit the classification of a tool and the definition of a tool you can't say well it's not a tool because turn off me to cut boxes with you can't decide when a tool is not a tool a gun is a tool a knife is a tool a sword is a tool do you need the definition of what a tool is I think you're a tool
Don't forget to tack on the bludgeoning effect
My firearm is a tool, and if I ever have to use it. I won't be using it to kill, maim or anything else bad. I'll be using to defend myself, my property or to save the lives of my loved ones or neighbors.
that is a very functional choping and tree barking tool. it would handle alot in the bush. and hold its edge well. :)
vg10
Tool detected
Its a hollow grind so not the best for chopping .
@@hyssean12 let alone choping...
He was so proud of that last line.
@@goyoelburro lol didn't mean to hurt your feelings
@@goyoelburrohow fragile is your ego? Seriously
Now that's a functional blade. A mighty beautiful one at that
Thank you!!! It's rare to see compliments. Most just want to shitpost 😞
@@goyoelburro well when you post a shitpost video, idk why you're surprised when there's shitpost comments my guy
tools can be used as weapons, and weapons can also be used as tools. This definitely falls into the later catagory!
I love TOOL, especially the the song Schism and as far as the blade goes it is a tool for Self Defense.
Wow. SO DEEP!
I love how you Incels keep pointing this out. Each one of you thinks they are a genius for being able to look up words in a dictionary, when you don't even know where a woman's clitoris is 😂
@@goyoelburro just for you!
ua-cam.com/video/VnP2-Pc-plM/v-deo.html
One thing for sure, its the incels that call other people incels and bring up the clit in a knife conversation.
Are you in to opiate² , or your sober?
"yOu CoUlD lItErALlY cHoP sOmEoNeS aRm OfF" 😂 couch swordsmans famous last words
And you are a skilled swordsman I guess. I never pretend to be a swordsman. I did take fencing in college, but I'm a knife fighter. This is a knife.
What are you 18-19 years old? yeah, you kinda sound like you still live at yer mother's house...
Yeah I doubt that Tanto has the weight or leverage to cleave through bone I can see getting through all the flesh
@goyoelburro fencing, kendo, and HEMA actually. I might know a thing or two. But you definitely seem like a dude that would carry gas station throwing knives instead of a handgun. 🤡
@goyoelburro "i'M a KnIfE fIgHtEr" 🤣 boy you've never been in a knife fight, shut your ass up.
@@goyoelburroholy cow dude you could just say that his comment got to you…
That’s a pretty cool tool!!
Lol
Id use it as a work tool to slice watermelon and cantaloupe for caterings😂
as the owner of the 9 inch version they are very much tools. I have used mine to chop up hard pumpkin for soup ( my kitchen knife was bending and making me nervous). also used it like a spoke shave on a cupboard door that was ill fitted.
You use a $250 tanto blade to chop pumpkins! 😂
When is the next time you are going Four Wheeling in your Porche? I want to come! 😂
@@goyoelburrodo you just look at the thing longingly? It’s meant to be used
@@csimw2330 okay. so go to japan, go to a swordsmith, one who loves his job. one who has spent his entire life dedicated to the cause. ask him to make the most refined blade he has ever made, and after obtaining said blade, go ahead and chop up some pumpkins in front of him and tell him "well it's a tool, right? its meant to be used"....see where that gets you.
@@goyoelburro I mean people pay a lot more than that for chef knives. If it does the job the way you want it done then use it.
@@stealthycoredo you really think the japanese knife makers want their tools put in a glass cabinet never to be touched again?
that's actually still a tool use it for cutting tree limbs and brush
I mean you "could" but why would you?
I have $50 Machetes that could do it better, so why would I use my $200 tanto blade?
You could also cut branches w/ a Katana, but that would be a bit silly.
I would deffers use it in an emergency. I'm sure it would be a superior survival knife, but it's not the one in my bug out bag.
Tanto points are made for penetration. The Japanese made them for one purpose only (as far as I know. My Japanese history is limited)
Exactly. I was going to say the same exact thing. Why would you use such an expensive magnum tanto for cutting limbs and brush not me, sir I use it for killing and killing only if I had to.
Thats not what he uses it for though… would a hammer be classified as a weapon if i used it to hit people in the head? Nope, its still made as a tool. Its almost like the way you use something doesnt change the way its designed
$200 for a gas station knife. Such an expert lol
It all depends on the application.
Looks like a great tool for self-defense.
I've had one of those for over 40 years, the pride of my collection! Just gorgeous!
They are such great knives!
I have this same one. People who say this does not have the weight, sharpness nor strength to cut through the humerus bone know absolutely NOTHING about edged weapons. They would be better off going back to their rooms and play with their plastic lightsabers.
It can be used for whatever you'd like to use it for. And who's to say you can't use it as a steak knife. Seems to be the right size for Shack.
The difference between and object being a weapon or a tool? Depends on how you use it.
Ive never seen a factory edge be really sharp, doubt a weapon like this is any different
This one came with a factory edge that shaved my arm baby smooth. I'd say they did a good job on it.
Most factory edges are not sharp, but some are pretty decent. That's what your forearm hair is for!
The difference is intent. You can use that to do all kinds of productive positive things. Or you could use it to do harm. Same couldn’t be said of any hammer, screwdriver, or saw.
“guys i’m witerawwy so sewius about this these awe weapons not tools”
weally are you wite? It's wrefeshing to heaw fwom a pewson who knows English well...
It’s a tool, a weapon, and a piece of art. Lovely 🥰
Well said!
it cant cut an arm off tanto was used as a dagger and for suicing it would chip the bone one a blade so short would have the force and weight to take an arm
Man, I’d like to commit seppuku with that.
It would do the job for sure...
I need to get me one of those
This video showed up randomly in my feed.
I’m sure your friend from school is real proud of the channel.
I'm 55 years old sonny. Many of my school friends are dead... "dp Ninja", lol "I'm a ninja" 😂🤣😂
A tool is an instrument that you use to help you accomplish some task. As in removing an arm.
What is a weapon but a self defense tool or hunting tool or whatever you need it to be
So, if it’s able to chop a limb off, you could chop a stick for firewood or carve a stick into a stake for survival shelter with it?
All weapons are tools of damage, destruction, and death!!! You Are The Tool.
Wow! What a genius!
Did you just look that up in a dictionary?
🏆🥇 First prize. And your not even male.
The FIRST FEMALE MANSPLAINER ON THE CHANNEL!!
Can be used as a killing tool which would make it a weapon.. but im sure if you're stranded on a tropical island you could find many other uses for it as well. Pretty much everything can be a tool. That's essentially what separates us from the animals
Of course you woud find uses for it The Tanto was originally a womans knife. An everyday utility knife.
A lot of pretty devastating bladed weapons came into being as tools.
Balisong butterfly knives were tools for farmers and fishermen. An ingenious solution to the problem of protecting the blade and edge in circumstances where a sheat would be a impractical. Butterfly knives can be worn without a sheat, tucked under a belt. Deployed with one hand.
Karambits: Womens tools, worn in the hair bun in a wooden sheat, like a hair pin.
A knife is a tool or weapon with a cutting edge or blade, usually attached to a handle or hilt. One of the earliest tools used by humanity, knives appeared at least 2.5 million years ago, as evidenced by the Oldowan tools. Originally made of wood, bone, and stone, over the centuries, in step with improvements in both metallurgy and manufacturing, knife blades have been made from copper, bronze, iron, steel, ceramic, and titanium.
Being afraid to handle it is exactly why I didn't push the blade into the sheath far enough and ended up cutting my finger grabbing the blade.
That took 3 stitches to close up
Ouch! I'm not exactly afraid to handle it, so much as respecting the edge.
I do like the sheath though. It does not come out until you need it.
I thought this was Sensei La Dew at first
Looks like the short swords used in the movie Dune 2021. 👍🏼
It could be used as a tool but it depends on what quality the blade is as it can dull or damage easily and it looks like it could only be used for cutting vines branches etc. But it looks like an amazing weapon in self defense
Looks like Raiden's side weapon in Metal Gear Solid 😮
Are you just a collector? I don't use knifes unless I need to cut food or something else.
Collector, perhaps... Addict, *definitely!*
I've been fascinated w/ bladed weapons since I was a teen... prob before that. My dad gave me my first swiss army knife at 11 and taught me how to whittle.
I don't do kitchen knives or anything like that, just weapons, outdoor tools, etc.
How's the retainage in the sheath? Would this be a good camping carry?
This one did not, but I also have a Magnum Tanto IX "nightfall" that has perfect retention. It cannot be drawn at all unless your finger is between the handle & the sheath.
Works very well.
This one needs the snap to hold it in place
Looks like a nice kindling splitter
I never thought TheSlappableJerk would have a real life yt counterpart, but here we are.
If you really feel like you want to slap me, feel free.
My name is Greg Pankow and I live in Pacifica, CA.
My address is public and I do not react well to threats.
I'm armed and have a VERY mean dog...
Damn! You didn’t say, “This is a fucking weapon!” “Not a fucking tool!” Lol😂 love your vids man!
How heavy is it really?
I think technically you could refer to that as a tool. If the job at hand is to sever someone's arm from the body. Ideally you would want to choose the right implement for the job Ie tool.
The only differences between tool and weapon happens in the action of the item. A hammer can become a weapon and I e seen people use weapons for hammers. So if your tanto stays unused for seppuku or jigai it’s just a piece of metal
Wow. I've learned so much from 18-35 white males mansplaining this to me.
You are so wise!!!
bet this dude is super fun at parties.
Can you show some demonstration of what it can and can't cut thou like a bone?
Nope. I don't monetize and I don't plan on messing up my knives for entertainment. Search youtube and you will find lots of cut tests for it.
Cold steel has one where they cut whole chickens, beef briskets, etc... just search for it.
A weapon is just a tool for destruction of life.
And a person is just a walking stack of bones and meat, but we don't call ourselves walking stacks of bones and meat. We call ourselves People because it is more accurate.
If I say "I'm carrying a tool" does it mean the same thing as "I'm carrying a weapon" to you?
I would urge you and the aprox 350ish folks who have made this exact comment (see below), sit and think before you comment.
Sitting and thinking avoids ignorance.
A weapon is a tool of war so it is a tool just like a gun a tank or a truck, its a tool with a dedicated purpose just like the others forementioned.
So your telling me that tool can't be used to cut brush or a Mellon?
You could. You can also use a screwdriver for a chisel.
Both would make you look the fool.
A weapon is a tool and a tool can be a weapon
a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function.
Shut up tool
If you think that could cut through a humerus what are you smoking and can I have some?
I actually use a concentrate I make myself, and believe me you would not be able to handle it...
As to the former, what makes you think it wont? I don't want to scuff my blade, but I could easily chop through one of my dogs beef bones with it, so a humerus would just take a good chop.
Does it have a full tang or a stick tang?
All knives are tools first weapon second.
Nope, there are plenty of knifes that would make for garbage tools. Whether it's because of material or design, knives have intended purposes, not sure why so many people have a problem with that.
Thank you "Probably inconsistent". There are a lot of folks who seem to think they are philosophers in the comments section. They all say pretty much the same thing and think they are sharing some kind of deep wisdom 😂🤣
@@goyoelburro ok mate🤣
It is a”weapon” but could be a tool at the time of need😎🇺🇸🤙🏼
For sure! That CPM 3V steel is hard stuff from what I understand. Better than D2 & A2
Weapons are just a subgroup of tools
Handle looks a bit long, is it comfortable?
Very
This is my same philosophy with some of my blades. I have the cold steel marauder; to me it’s qualifies as a weapon, whereas the AD10 is more tool oriented.
good philosophy!
I don’t know man I’ve had some tanto blades in the past I used for my outdoor endeavors and I can say without a shadow of a doubt this blade would be good anywhere from “chopping someone’s arm off” to shaving a stick for kindle and fire starter. The ta to is just a really well designed blade style and can be applicable for just about anything other than sawing. 🤷🏻😂 it becomes a weapon when a person Ill will to cause harm gets in the way of using it for other purposes.may not be intended purposes but it sure as hell works better than a lot of stuff out there. Like your local m tech gas station,smoke shop knives. 😂😂🤦🏻
Oh yeah, that's a cutting tool right there
Depends on what your trade is
Definitely a tool. Yup i do have 2 neurons to rub together.
Everything's a tool there Genius!
Says alot about a man if he owns a weapon that he's afraid to even handle, a man is the master of his weapons, as such he must be a master in the use of said weapons for them to really be weapons in his hands. Otherwise you could be as much a danger to yourself as you need to be to others✌️
I own 300 knives. I have been collecting them for longer than you have been alive (unless you are older than 45).
ANYONE who collects knives will tell you that they cut themselves A LOT! Sharpening them, buffing them, oiling them, etc...
The fact that you think this shows a DEEP level of ignorance concerning knives.
Honest Question: What is it about white males aged 18-35 that makes them think they are experts on shit they know nothing about?
🖕
@@goyoelburrojust cause you own a lot of knifes doesn’t mean you’ve used em the right way😂a rich man can own 20 cars and not know how to drive 10 of them or even work on them just because you know how to clean and sharpen a knife doesn’t mean you know how to use it. I don’t wanna hear an argument unless you’ve cut up an animal (for hunting purposes) done woodwork or even any construction where you e had to use a knife for a real purpose rather than “unboxing” and if you’ve used a knife for any said reasons then I just don’t understand why you would argue a knife isn’t a tool even as a weapon to kill, I’m not agreeing with any other comments just saying a weapon is a tool to kill so wether or not you want to call it a tool it is a tool
you can turn people into veggies with it so it is kinda of a tool
A killing weapon is a tool of war a tool to be used for defense I believe in the definition of a tool is anything that you can use to make doing something easier
All knives are tools. But not all tools are knives
That's the tool I use for opening letters
Weapons and tools share one common trait they can still kill someone a 16oz carpentry Hammer will kill you just as Dead as of 50 Oz Warhammer and actually that Tanto doesn't actually have the size nor Mass to cut a human arm in one clean cut because of the bone it will definitely cut down to the bone but won't cut through the bone entirely unless you put some crazy power behind it and even then it's actually missing the extra foot of length required to get that leverage
A carpentry hammer is a blunt force weapon, this is a cutting weapon. Trying to compare the two is an exercise in failure.
There is a reason the US Military carries Ka-Bar knives instead of carpentry hammers...
Pretty good prybar too
Well I get what you mean but are you gonna actually ever use it as a weapon? The vast majority of people who like knives use them as tools and nothing more.
Even guns can be considered tools (I'm not kidding they actually have some real word applications that don't involve shooting a living thing)
My machetes and axes might get used as tools.. my camp saws already have... gonna move to Colombia soon, so some of my long knives like my Ka-Bar "big brother" too.
Not this one tho, nor my "Nightfall" tanto in cpm 3v either. Too nice and to sharp to even want to work the edge.
A tool can be a weapon...
Should get one of those torso they use on forged in fire
The guard isn't big enough for parries and the handle isn't secure enough to be an effective cut and thrust weapon. This is primarily a tool, it doesn't matter how sharp it is.
You "Parry" when you knife fight???? Don't try that!!! You will lose.
This is actually a large guard for a fixed blade knife these days because guards are not that important in knife combat.
It's not a sword duel...
Nah man that’s a paper clip sashay maker
Nice ive got my black 3V one. Gave it a polished convex edge
Yeah, I've had my eye on the IX "Nightfall" Tanto for some time.
It may be my next purchase...
@@goyoelburro if you can find one
I found one. I'm probably going to buy it when I get my check on the 3rd. Look for the video!
@@goyoelburro awesome man. Hope its still there for ya. Make sure its not a fake
I also use my warcraft tanto as a prybar sometimes.
Hey, great channel. Love the commentary and humor
Hey, thanks!
As someone who only buys what I see behind glass and handle first... Cold Steel factory edges DO NOT FUCK AROUND... and Benchmades are ground by chimps with angle grinders.
That's beautiful
i just recently got this knife and sharpened it hair sharp i love the look and feel i cant get my hands off it its my EDC
It really is a nice knife!!! Cold steel really did a great job on this design!
Looks nice the handle seems like once you got a bit blood on it it would just slip right outta your hand especially if youre tryna hack at limbs not stab
Already planning your mass murder, are you? 🤔
It’s probably because you called the smaller 9inch version a “great hunting and camping tool” in the other video, it not really surprising people called it a tool when you literally called it a tool first
Awesome!!! You can see how sharp it is
You really almost can tell....
Every weapon is a tool...
However...some tools cannot be used as a weapon. Unless your last name is McGuyver.
What rool can't be used as a weapon to inflict harm? Even shoes can be taken apart to suffocate someone
Nope, id stick a pig with that. Almost preferential.
I don't like Cops either, so I agree with you...
@@goyoelburro lmao good one
I'm a hardcore leftist. When I'm watching the news and a cop dies I giggle and laugh like a schoolgirl... 😏
Now I want one. I have several of their awesome knives.
Their "Magnum Tanto" line is incredible. The Nightfall IX lives on my bedside table...
Tool is one of my all time favorite rock groups
I'm no expert but that looks a lot like a Japanese Hari Kari (Seppuku) often used by a samurai warrior.
That was recreated from a Japanese short sword called the (Wakizashi) its a good weapon but less affective then a Katana for a long-range attacks so use it for close combat
Yes, the Wakizashi was probably an influence since the designer has been quoted as saying he wanted a knife people could use like a sword.
No knife or even blade is good for long range combat. In long range you should use a firearm.
My general rule is close in = knife or blade, raged = gun...
JUST a tool meant for a different type of work
Quiet before the law man hears!
A tool is a weapon in the hand's of a warrior.
oooooooo a "warrior" has spoken!
What tool would you use to chop someone’s arm off? That’s what I thought…
chainsaw
Idk bro it looks like a tool to me....
Think what you want. There are others in these comments that would disagree with you...
That's because it is a tool until you use it as a weapon.
There are so many Mansplainers in the comments that I felt the need to pin a comment.
By God you 18-35 White Males LOVE to point out the obvious!! 😂🤣😂
It’s a perfect tool for cutting fish. You can see the same in the evolution of Katanas, which have become specialized chef’s knives for cutting fish. It’s myopic to use absolutes. Even if it’s through the use of a clumsy tautology. Regardless, weapons are also tools, in which case, they’re just a specialized class of tools used to cause bodily harm. People don’t usually project the intention to cause other people harm. That’s the actual crux of your argument against the semantics of naming an object a tool or weapon: whether the intention to cause harm (to someone) is explicit and intrinsic to any object. Yet, you take no responsibility for your own projections. The surety of your position demonstrates some serious Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Is it for cooking
A weapon is a type of tool 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 he don't know about what he's holding it is a weapon and a tool the front of the blade.the tip is for digging underneath places you need to go you welcome
That's a good looking filet knife
I use kukris but this is a very fine looking blade , definitely a good close quarters weapon .
I have 4 or 5 Kukris as well. They are fine weapons!
@@goyoelburro I have two world war 2 models ( the mark 2 and 3 ) from Tora blades and Heritage knives in Nepal and an 8th Gurkha rifles batallion kukri from GGK also in Nepal , I plan on getting a custom limbu sirupate style kukri next on my next visit to Nepal .
