“It works almost as good as a full length shovel but with the added benefit of back problems”
Hahaha
I think these were the kind of shovels they used on All is quiet on the western front. Made to cut the enemies head off,without being too offensive. You'll have to ask Ernst Borgnine to be sure.
Cause you're doing it wrong.
So true. It may have been designed for children. The Russian special forces starts them young.
@@jooky5 no, It was designed, like every other entrenching tools to be used from cover, either kneeling or prone.
I ordered a Code 4 after watching your video on it way back when. Two minutes after getting the knife, I attempted your one-handed lockback method of closing the knife and cut the SHIT outta my first two fingers, because I had them too far up on the handle. It was an epic, bloody fail that required 8 stitches at the ER. So now, whenever I look down at the scars on my fingers I think about Advanced Knife Bro! Thanks for that!
Advanced scars.
Lol I did the exact same thing with the first knife I ever bought, a Byrd cara cara 2. My dumbass disengaged the back lock and just wasn't expecting it to swing down as fast as it did. I still have a little line of a scar across my index finger haha.
To close these one handed, use your hip
Did you put a penny in the box to prevent cutting yourself.
Sounds like a code red 🩸
The worst thing about windmills is how they do not cool me down at all, even when I stand really close to them
If you stand close enough to almost anything with rapidly spinning blades, there's a good chance it will cool you down... forever.
Just like Lynn Thompson. 😵
You need to stand closer mate...like right inside them whirring blades.
“Windmills do not work that way.” -Morbo
Funny !
@@ajhoward8888 who?
Impressive how every single cold steel product is totally pocketable for EDC. True genius at work.
Idk about all that. Every cold steel product. Or every cold steel folder
@@theknifeconnection9571 Dude, just need deep pockets, like a few machetes down each pant leg. Genius. Instant ninja.
Especially their boar spear!!
@@theknifeconnection9571 the XL voyagers, the XL talwar and the Ti-Lite VI all fit in the pocket of a pair of Levi’s
@@Louzahsol those are all folders.
I love Cold Steel knives because they decided to take every guys teenage fantasies of ninjas and samurais and knights and pirates, and put them into knives, that are also well made and durable. They arent just gimmicks. Well, not usually. Anyway this is a great video as always!!! Love hearing your sardonic takes on the knife world, especialy Cold Steel!
This is literally the way I describe cold steel to people. It's like a 14 year old made a knife company.
I just can't bring myself to buy something so obnoxious and ostentatious
@@donjuanmckenzie4897 yeah they arent for everyone but I love them!
@@dallasn16 but a 14 year old that actually cares about making a good knife haha!
@@cameronbuckner254 yeah exactly, I'm not knocking them at all. I love the few I have.
I unapologetically love my cold steel spartan
What's good / best about it pls? Trying to decide whether to get one
@@adods9824 of you got small or medium hands size its a perfect grip. if you got pretty large hands it might be not for you. also sturdy as hell, and I love it
my all time favorite knife is the cold steel recon tanto. Carried the same knife for my entire service and multiple deployments. Thing was indestructible.
I have had a Kobun for over 10 years and it is a superb knife, sharpens easily, strong, and looks almost as good as when I got it.
I just ordered a kobun tanto...
Comes in tomorrow.
And thank you for your input brother.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to show and comment on these knives. It’d be great if someday you could do something similar with other brands..although I can see it would take time to produce them. I gotta say, when I have a job to do I often grab my Tuff Lite. I love that little sucker. Hoping to get a Broken Skull in the future. 👊💪
I have no idea how I didn’t find your channel sooner but my god, you’re like the Stan marsh of the knife world. I love this.
AKB you are the best! I really appreciate your CS reviews. You made my day!
Man, so many practical and tactical knives. That sweet content we all crave.
BRO, the gut punch, this is epic, and With Links to the individual vids! My Man! Thanks for the Cold Steel Vid!
“The safety-squints are as good as glasses”
I had to pause and compose myself from laughter before continuing.
You have the best videos and reviews ever
.......for a guy from the knife industrial complex
I'll let that slide because of how serious you always are
The 20 seconds or so at the end are why you’ll always be on my feed Hanlen.
I love how this channel has grown. Merry Christmas my dude's.
Awesome video man!
Love the humor, not over the top and not to dry.
I appreciate your self awareness, thanks for making videos
Best knife video i've ever watched. SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Love the narration editing and production in this video u just got yourself another sub sir
like your reviews lot more entertaining and informative than most
thank you for producing this marvelous film for us sir. Absolutely incredible.
This video made my day you remind me of a Master SGT I had once thanks a million for doing and sharing!
Absolutely love this video
I needed the chuckle... XL all day bro! Love my ti lite, love my luzon, love my vaquero, gonna go buy a chopper now. Thanks
Love the narrative style.
Your videos are very entertaining so for that reason I just subscribed to your Channel keep them coming.
Entertaining video funny stuff looking forward to seeing more
Your down to earth, and honest...
I like you bro.
Keep it up.
(I liked and subscribed)
I subscribed based solely on your epic monolog.... you sir... no words
Dude, I just found your channel tonight and this is probably the second video of yours that I've watched. Love the content almost as much as the sarcasm. You have a new sub, keep it up! Also, that western bowie is a beautiful thing, and I need one now!
You have a desk??? COOL. Love your videos man. Keep it up. No matter what all my friends might say
Fun stuff. I'm guilty of owning too many Cold Steel knives. A few work well and may be worth checking out. The Rajah 2, (big folder ) Marauder, and OSI San Mai both fixed blades with rubbery handle, and ridiculous rubber guards. ✌ 😃
#SubHiltSquad
I only own three of the ones that you have in this video. But I own 14 others. And frankly I adore all of them! And truly mourn the two of that I have lost. Great video!
I'm sorry for ur loss
Great video.your humor is pretty good too. I carry a RECON-1 everyday. For me, it's the perfect work/SHF knife and can't beat the price. I also have a original WESTERN BOWIE from 1964. It has been through alot. You can tell it wasn't just a camp knife.....
I noticed the brief snippet of the Espada's emerson wave deployment. THANK YOU
Thanks man…that was quite an epic! And so many Cold Steels! I’m yet to run into a single one of their designs I get excited about, but never say never, right?
Awesome collection sir.
Thank you kindly!
This video is proof that AKB is a poet and a scholar. A man who keeps his promises. And yes the only knife that matters is the ESPADA XL! Thanks AKB, you are an inspiration to all trailer park residents everywhere. It makes me proud. I am going to go chop up some meat boots 👢 in honor of this vid.
Edit: any tips on repairing a car hood?
Love your CS collection. I've got a few of the same. The old clips with the potbelly wood stove, I miss them. Good times, good times. Enjoy.
Sweet Collection, Bro! :-)
Oddly the best CS knife I ever owned was the Rajah 2. Even if the knives were not the best - I found their customer support to be next level good. Though Cold Steel is no longer Cold Steel, I won't ever forget how they treated me when something went wrong.
New to the channel, big ups dude really enjoyed the video, subbed.
Cold Steel understands the truth. That everything you thought was cool as a 14 year old is what's actually cool. Heavy metal, huge boobs, dinosaurs, guns, R-rated 80's action movies. Every man wants to EDC a Rajah II, but he denies himself satisfaction and joy for the flimsy social status of performative maturity.
Nice video. First time I have seen any of you videos on CS and will look for more. I would love to see a video on CS Chaos knives. My favorite CS EDC is the AK47. I also have a few Urban Darts in my go bag for camping.
I love the commentary!
I’m new-ish to knife collecting but new-er to knife videos.
I’ve found Metal Complex and Nick Shabazzalazzadingdong but I’m really glad that I happened to find the best of all knife channels and even one of the best channels on RUclips period.
Thanks Bro…or AdvancedBro 🤜🏼🤛🏽.
Love this video
i am indeed infatuated with the advanced knife bro lore, so ty for the magnum kukri machete
Definitely agree with the esparda! I have the large and xl one! Another favorite is the immortal for me. I do like the spartan and Luzon! Good vid!
You're commentary is the absolute best .
The commentary on this and the shovel video earned a sub from the laughs
You are in fine form on this video, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro. I would never own a half-serrated knife (I also own the Wave Plus). And if I didn't require corrective lenses to wield a knife safely, I would be a 'safety-squinter' also.
Half serrated blades are the shit for anyone trying to do work instead of just tweedle their balls or fidget their gidget, ya heard?
Amazing review of Cold Steel gear !TY sub'd long ago
Just got my first cold steel folders last month and im completely in love. Got a Voyager XL Tanto and a Rajah 2. LOVVVVVEE them!!!! Got a Tokyo Spike too. Now i desperately want a Spartan, a Grik, a Marauder, a Talwar, Espada xl, Colossus, recon tanto, a second Voyager XL in Drop point.
Great stuff- hilarious 😂
Nice cold steel collection brother
I appreciate your videos because I too suck at thinking in real time. The correct answers or responses always arrive twelve hours too late in the wee hours of the morning and so if I were to ever make youtube videos, which I am not going to, I would write them wryly in advance and make them look cool as a cold steel, like you do. Well done.
Brilliant !!!!! you should have your own TV show.
I love my Western W49 Bowie knife. I've had it since the early 80's. As for the loose guard on yours. Best thing I can tell you is to get a bottle of super glue with a really small tip, like for model making. and put a few drops between the blade and guard. I had to do the same thing with the guard on my Cold Steel Grosse Messer.
I think you’d appreciate the AD10 and 4max because of their very very demko design profile’s and the smooth action they share with the AD15, although it’s more likely just those sneaky Teflon washers hidden by the shiny phosphor bronze washers. Also the Trailboss axe is an incredible value for its almost always on sale price of $21. It’s not outrageous in design or purpose but instead a really well made and functional tool. Unlike the POS kudu which I now have 3 of thanks to SMKW adding them to my order for free. I like to think that they really believe in the kudu and not that they’re sitting on a few hundred of them and haven’t sold a single one.
Interesting and entertaining.
great collection im a huge fan i only have 3 my latest is the EDC air lite love
Outstanding
9:51 "Sometimes you gotta learn things a whole bunch" 😂😂😂
Good to hear you like the Talwar and Raja II as much as I do.
Cold Steel has some good models. Batoning with the Espada was insane, it would sure be fun to see how long it would hold together long term firewood.
It’s a little much for a knife with alumium bolsters. Cedric and Ada outdoors did a video with this same knife after I got it and beat it up too. It holds up extremely well, but I wouldn’t make a habit of it.
Just found your channel, my life is now complete.
This is the first video of yours that I have seen, instant sub. You are fucking hilarious! I also appreciate your reviews as well.
True! Thanks
I got a cutlass on backorder, cant wait for it
i have a bunch of them anf love all of them..my fav is my gladius machete and my spartan pocket knife...lovely things
Nice video, liked it.
The worst CS I own is the “Pocket Bushman”
The best CS is the “Recon one” my fav edc
Rad collection bro
I appreciate the frantic pointing at 3:01.
Hands down, the most hilarious knife video I've ever seen 🤣. Oh, but I do use bowie knives a lot for bushcraft/camping(don't have a Natchez bowie, or any cold steel knives as of yet, but I haven't ruled it out). So, I guess I'm one of THOSE dudes. I'm still badass, though, if girth doesn't matter
Thanks to my parasocial relationship with your channel, my knife collection validation comes from a good friend on the internet, not a stranger.
Hay, thanks for the shout-out. - A hypothetical guy that doesn't like Cold Steel much but watches your 15 to 20 minute video about them.
Great video bro. Again you shame me since I still do not own an espada. I sadly have only the voyager. I need to bro it up by getting an upgrade.
AD15 still a great buy, glad you made that video since the price went way up since then.
Quite a list! I’m a Broken Skull man myself, but I would also like to give an honorable mention to the Talwar XL.
Which wrestler designed that one???
the longer Kuhkri machete holds a sweet spot in my soul.. nice work regardless
I have a cold steel survival knife, mistakenly purchased from Amazon with a tanto point. I regretted it, but too proud to admit my mistake, I store it proudly somewhere in my basement.
this is quality entertainment. well played sir.
Good stuff
My worst knife injury was from closing a cold steel kudu. nearly lost like 80% of my thumb's pad but luckily the blade was clean and factory sharp so all I needed was superglue and an iron stomach to not throw up looking at the inside of my thumb while cleaning it & now I have a only faint scar and some really raw pictures on my phone
What is a large Bowie good for? Strap on 2 in open carry mode and strangers won't approach you for surveys, directions or useless small talk. I makes treks out in public far more peaceful.
The bush ranger actualy looks cool to me. Next time theres a cold steel sale ill try and get one
I have the original carbonV fixed blade called the Bush ranger.......flat ground 7 inch bowie
I am the hypothetical guy (from France) watching your 20 min vdo about cold steel knives who really doesn’t like cs knives and i’m seriously considering a tuff lite. Well done knife bro, well done.
A year from now i might be pocketing an espada xl, who knows ?
This was freaking hilarious dude. I got my first gold steel today a D 15 light at Midway USA for 50 bucks. I had to take some 2K paper to the scorpion lock where it was sharp and it turned it into a fidget monster . I like it a lot so I want to get another one I’m thinking the law man may be. You got your deal for $35. That’s a freaking amazing deal
Humor 10/10. I was redirected here after watching Dave Chapelle almost get stabbed on stage. Your content is a touch of both.
This guy should write books. I'd purchase and read all the material. Excellent Commentary.
Great video, nice throwback to the bamboo chopping days!
I wonder, will you do another review of GEC knives in the future, either as compilation or some singled out?
I might do one, of the ones I’ve acquired since the last video. I’ve been thinking about it- but sometimes the thinking and the doing are months apart. It just sucks because I’ll do a video on them, and no one will be able to buy them.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro True, the fact that they are so limited and sought after makes talking about them bit frustrating, I reckon. But even as someone who would almost never personally buy a GEC, I find your thoughts on them very interesting, especially since to me they all seem so extremely similar. And your videos are always a treat! And even if people won't necessarily be able to buy the same knives after watching your review, they might get another GEC and be very happy with it :)
Just found your channel! As someone from the backwoods of Alabama I always felt that Cold Steel was like if truck stop knives were actually well made.
love the finwolf use it as my EDC like having a folding mora lol, and fits into Colorado's unconstitutional law limited concealed knives to 3.5 inch blade length, thankfully leatherman wave fits into that as well.
dang bruh.
so up to date
You are so right about the broken skull. It is a perfect large folding knife, if you can accept the billboarding.
I think the ultimate hunter will be my next knife. That thing just looks so practical/plain yet stylish and good. and good quality
I was literally looking at Cold Steels and this vid is clutch. I'm interested in the Air Lite and Pro Lite models also since they're uhhh... Not heavy
