The chipmunk voice slayed me. I modded the Mayhem. Took off the peak on the swedge area, took down the handle at the butt and around the pivot area so I can front flip it now and can two finger forward choil area grip it. I am adding a spyderco hole where the thumb stud was. It’s truly a large EDC that is fun and practicable
Wow, that sounds cool!
Love to see a video of your mods, I had a similar idea.
5 max scout ftw please cold steel make one!!!! Love the 4 max scout I have 3 of em. I think the 5 max is the better ultimate durability knife, maybe also camp companion if you have to have a folder. mayhem for everything else is the better choice.
The difference between the 5Max and Mayhem is you're using different cutting motions between the two with the 5Max getting more of a chopping motion and the Mayhem more of a slicing motion. Other factors may be that the Mayhem has thinner edge geometry behind the edge and having what looks like a satin finish, which I kind of think the acid wash they've done gives it a little more resistance in cutting. Kind of ran my finger on the surface of my own 5Max and Tilite Signature series and it felt a little more resistant on the acid wash over the satin.
Chopping with the 5 max you're right on top of a knot in the wood.
Mayhem!!!! 👏👏
YES! :)
I think the Mayhem has a thinner grind behind the edge to give it more cutting power and bite. That could mean the 5Max has a slight edge in durability which is harder to demonstrate.
Good point.
Would be cool to have g-10 3V version of mayhem w/ axis lock and zero liners to cut down weight.
Bro, ever since I saw YOUR Demco 5Max, that knife's been a Grail Blade of mine and thanks to Midway USA, it's on it's way!!! So now I'm gonna watch EVERY SINGLE 5MAX VIDEO out there, till that Beasty Max gets here!!! Great video here btw JS ❤...
Hey Jimislash, question for ya. What is the tang of the Cold Steel warcraft tanto 4034 like? I have been wanting to get the 12in but I saw in JoeX video that it is a skeletenized tang on the short length. Is it the same on the 12in length? Thanks for your time.
Ps. If it is the skeletonized tang can you ask Cold Steel to not do that? Lol (full tang best)
Thank you for all you do and the great videos bro!
Why choose? Just get both.
When this video came out I commented that I preferred the Mayhem but Monday I won a 5Max from Cold Steel and I’m not the slightest bit upset. 🤣 Looking forward to my first Cold Steel
These pocket swords are getting crazy good looking!!
Oh lawdy! That mayhem gonna go right on santas list .. thats just crazy . Need one of those hope they will be available in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 the scout 4 is so guess these will come eventually
Hi my friend, great video of two great knives! 👍 To choose between this to iconic tools is everything else than easy. I love the shape of the 5Max, but also the uncoated blade of the Mayhem. (I think the 5Max would perform better without the coating.) Without coating i would prefer 5Max with one point, but loving both. But it doesn't matter, because i can't afford neither the one nor the other. Big thank you for showing! LG
I think you're right about the coating.
2 awesome knives! I hope to have them both one day. Great video 👍
I hope Cold Steel makes a 5Max Scout version, I lost my 4Max Scout a while ago, I miss that thing. I was gonna buy another 4Max, but I'll wait for the 5Max Scout to come out.
Dude! The last 45 seconds of this video in fast speed had me falling out and embarrassing myself in the coffee shop! Hahahahahaha!!!!!!
Just got my Mayhem Aus 10 version today , very happy...fantastic deal on sale from Midway .Will never hard use this knife, but sure looks like it can take it
It is was stabbing cars and prying it seems the 5Max might be the way to go. I’m curious, during your rope cut test, how well does the Rajah II do comparatively to the Mayhem? Thanks Jimi, Merry Christmas🎄
I'll have to check that out. Merry Christmas!
I love the Ad10 to be honest. It's a little tank.
5 Max for me. Bought 2 already. Love them.
Thanks for the comparison Josh. Word you were looking for was, 'batoning.'
Batoning!!! Yes!
It's the belly of the knife . Makes them slicers
Spartan CTSBD1.....drug of choice. However, vid was Informatica 🎉. Greatvid!
Batoning
Thank you!
Good video. I would have liked to see more testing but it is a good video.
I’ll choose the Mayhem too. I think it has a better slashing power and cutting power. Even in camping or survival situation the Mayhem will outperform the 5MAX which is a great knife as well. To me a knife is first a weapon then a tool. If I am gonna carry a knife I much rather carry a knife that is a solid weapon and can be used as a tool; rather than carrying a knife that is a tool and falls short as a weapon. My first Cold Steel is the AK-47 and I love it. It was the first knife of the Cold Steel family that caught my eye. I just ordered the Spartan (AUS10A) smooth edge. I think the Mayhem will be next and I want the S35VN version. Keep up the good work.
:) Thank you!
5max all day everyday, ive seen other test where a single stab to a wood broke the tip of the mayhem.
Although its most certainly interesting to see such a big blade like mayhem on atlas lock, making it first fidget friendly pocket sword.
Chief I watched that test and considering that the mayhem was being test to its breaking point and the fact too few people are going to stab a MayHem or 5 Max into a hardwood slab and then purposely try to break the point of that black off I wouldn't be tbe least bit concerned about breaking the tip of my knife in a self defense situation
I get that the tip of tbe MayHem broke off but that was the entire point of the testing
I'm more than confident about the strength of tbe MayHem's steel and the strength of tbe MayHem's Axis Lock to the point I now own of the AUS version as well as 3 of the Sven35 version of the MayHem
The 4-5 max drop point is a stabber not a chopper.
I’m sure that the 5Max is a great knife...but I’m not buying one just yet..I’ll likely wait for the Scout version (if it comes out).
When I received my S35 Mayhem, I was so impressed that I immediately had to get the Aus10 version.
And honestly, the Aus10 might be the sharpest out of box knife that I’ve ever handled...I mean, it was insanely sharp...But that’s whatever...guess I got a really well sharpened example.
That said, I own basically every large or XL folder that CS has ever made, and the Mayhem has instantly become among the best of the best.
I don’t say this often, but if you’re on the fence about this knife...well, you know the rest...
pretty sure that belly shape on the Mayhem helps that smooth clean slice 😎
I think so too!
Something else where I live mayhem is AUS 10A and the 5max is s35vn and the price are exact in a same range $500, don't make sense but it's what it's.
Yeah, that's odd. Where do you live?
I was just at Bud’s, and I was about to come over to get the mayhem because of your video and when I saw you carrying it. I left after I was done at buds and forgot to come in. And then your video just popped up lol
Im here , in choosing the mayhem from the jump. Now lets watch you do your thing and see what you chose. 😎👊
Okie doke! Yeah we have similar style. Both are great...mayhem is better. I was the laughing stock of the cold steel group when I said , "if they called the mayhem the 6 max , it would sell better!" 😂😂
I NEVER DECIDE BETWEEN TWO KNIVE'S. I GET THEM BOTH. REMEMBER. YOU ALWAY'S NEED A BACK UP. 👍
Great minds.
I get it, you like them both but, which one is more practical forget about the looks. Not for chopping but for self diffence.
I'd go Mayhem for self-defense.
Both look like really nice knives. I personally like the way the mayham looks more. Great review and thanks for sharing. 👍🔪👊🔥🍻
The Mayhem HANDS DOWN ‼️
The Mayhem is just lacking a little bit of refinement.
The way the blade is angled on the Mayhem it really should have a thumb plate, and the lack of rounding in the choil looks awkward.
I think the Mayhem is an awesome platform but it needs a version 2.
The Mayhem looks like a cleaver with a clip point chopped on it.
Good description.
Even though the mayhem looks cool nothing stacks to the max I would choose the max for sure because I have seen people beat that knife could not even phase it anyways they need to continue with the s35vn with the mayhem instead of all the exclusive nonsense it's starting to get on my nerves why don't they try other steel options. I am saving up for one of those mayhem.
Thought the Mayhem might win out. Thanks Mr Slash 👍
Loved the pumpkin carving !!
The fun part. :)
Both are equally great I wouldn’t be able to choose one over the other,
Don't choose. :)
Both are great but that Mayhem… 😍
It's sweet. I love it.
The mayhem is a dope monster!
I really like the look of the Mayhem

But does it matter for what it's used for?
@@Jimislash
When ie. chopping with a folder, yes, it absolutely matters.
@@LarsBreuning But if neither lock fails it doesn't matter. It's just silliness.
@@Jimislash
Following that analogy, does it matter which blade cuts better than the other - they both cut?
@@LarsBreuning Not the same at all. If one lock isn't going to break with use, and the other lock isn't going to break with use, why does it matter?
Hey Jimi, you got Ermes or Vitaly for KOTT 9?
Vitaly. Too much length and hand.
@@Jimislash I got my money on Ermes. See you here after the match 😬
@@Jimislash Got you on this one Jimi, you got me on the Ermes VS Devon match though. We’re 1-1 😉
@@vegangreen1269 My account was hacked. :) Ermes was impressive. You got me.
@@Jimislash hehe yes! Very impressive performance by both athletes. See you next time! 💪🏻🔥
Most likely the blade finish makes the difference in slicing performance.
Mayhem....belly of the blade!
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving...all the best...👍👍
Still want a Ti lite IX
:)
You are chopping into a knot in the lumber with the 5 max, probably at least 3 times as hard as the other side where you chopped with the Mayhem.
Oh, I'll have to redo this test.
Very cool both amazing blades👍🏻👍🏻
I have the 4-Max Scout and man,that's a heavy mofo. It dang near pulls my britches off.
It's not for the faint of pants. :)
@@Jimislash Great paraphrase.
Sure, they can cut up pork loins, but I need to know how well a knife will work in the apocalypse. You know, that time in the future when we use knives as body armor.
Oh, I was hoping to get some ad revenue from this video. I'll go apocalyptic on my next one. :)
@@Jimislash nooooooo! Keep it sane! 😅
@@charlescollier7217 🤣
I do not feel these were made for the same purpose. Both are well made, with two different locks. If you need to do work outside - go with the 5 Max. For doing the Devil's business the nod goes to the Mayhem.
It's prob the branch with the 5max chopping😶
Both
Both 👍. Happy Holidays Jimi
Happy Holidays!
My answer is both
And you'd be right. :)
Thanks. Glad I didn’t buy the 5 max
Hey Lynn, you look so much better with the beard, 👍,,
This new Cold Steel Shopping Channel is great too,,..
All this video needs is a tough macho blonde girl, in spandex, and the transition is complete,,
Sorry,, forgot the bending in the vice with pipe, routine,, ha ha.
Just kidding bro'.. 🗡️🗡️🗡️🤣
That's the other channel. I don't have the pipe bender thing or the blonde. :)
I was looking at these 2 for my edc. I decided to go with The Big Dragotac
Rajah over these 2
I can't argue with that. I love the Rajah.
Only 2 hobos were injured in the making of this video.
😂
Hey Jimmy, good to see ya,
Hey! Good to see you back! :)
@@Jimislash never really left, I unsubbed tons to keep the best, keep up the great work! say hello to mom for me brother,

Hahaha Awesome!!!!!
🐿️
Both too heavy. Nice novelties, but I can get a better 5" fixed for the weight and price
