Self defense would be when the opposition makes the first aggressive move. Self defense is most of the time the correct term. Self offense, you would be the aggressor and starter of the conflict.
I have cut myself with every single cold steel I’ve ever owned and I have never cut myself with any other knife so self offense should be in their marketing
To borrow a quote: "It was much too big to be called a -sword- folding knife. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was like a heap of raw iron"
I’m not an XL type of knife guy. But if anyone gets me across the line it’ll be you, bro. Great, fun, informative video. Cold Steel better be prepared for an onslaught of orders.
I'm with you bro. At 71, I've been an avid collector & user of many brands & models, but I own about 2/3 of Cold Steel's line. Why? Because I can & because it still makes me moist!!!
Bro! I know you’re the George Carlin of the knife world, but why do I have to wait so long for a new vid? I know genius is quirky, but I’m suffering with withdrawal symptoms. I’ve watched every one of your vids at least 100 times. Whenever I’m depressed your vids lift my spirits and give strength to buy another knife! God sent YOU to save us all! Lots of love from Florida!
New one out today. My minimum goal is one for every month, that's about all I can do right now. My sharpening video took forever to shoot and edit- probably 20 hours or more.
Amazing. You captured the absolute essence of the Espada. I have the g10 version and love it for how ridiculous and impractical it is. I get off on the look of shock and confusion people make when I show it to them. “Why do you own that?” They ask. Because the divine Lyn commands it.
Great vid. I love your style and scripting. I've always wanted one. I do have the Vaquero Grandie in serrated version. It is almost the size of the XL but half the weight. I treasure it. What you did with the XL was sacrilege in my opinion, but a knife should work. If it doesn't, it isn't a Cold Steel or a knife.
Been watching your channel for a time now, and you helped push me to make my own. Love your sarcasm, and the Cold Steel videos are the best! Thank you, and please keep turning them out!
You're damn right you need the right pants. I wear Duluth Trading Co. "BALLROOM JEANS" with 11" deep "FIREHOSE" hip pockets & that's right, specifically designed for more "BALL ROOM" & I still bottom out!!! Who da Man???
Sir. First, mine arrived last week. To explain this knife to people who know my stupid ass, I send them this video. I have shared this, in my insane opinion, the best knife review video ever made, well, with about ten people. You sir are gold. I would love to sit with you and break beers. Or cut full cans. Whatever. Cheers!
I got the cold steel rajah 2 Is, and that thing has performed in every theater I have needed it for. Although, I would have preferred a clip point booey style blade the rajah 2 was just on sale so it made sense I have literally used that thing with the triad lock to chop down small trees I've also used it for everyday some tasks such as opening boxes and I'm currently using talk to text right now because I'm driving so yeah , forgive my typo's Edit: recently bought the espada xl. Yeah the rajah 2 is my favorite. Easier deployment, thicc down the whole length, and I guess one inch less of big ass blade just fits me better
II have to say man your my favorite knife channel I love your humor and self awareness your honestly someone I'd just want to kick back and drink with Also your scale swap video for your pm2 made me finally do it too I have a maxamet one I put wood scales and a brass backspace on it anyway sorry for the long comment hope to see more vids soon
THIS is the reason your channel is the only one that has me notified if you fart cross eyed. I'll be a new Patreon at the end of this month, you made me laugh too hard not to. Thank you & good day.
This was great. I’m at home with Covid right now and the laughing literally almost killed me. You are right about that knife being a threat to everyone around you. The extra 2” has some serious reach. No one on the interwebs is safe while this is at large.
Yeah, the flu or pneumonia can be rough! Bronchitis also being an unpleasant bug, that has been isolated, and verified to actually exist. Get well man! Oh wait, this is 3 days later! I’m sure you have completely recovered by now lol
Cold Steel Knives hate two things. Being pulled out of the pocket, and being folded. My Recon 1 sometimes simply refuses to be drawn. They are so mighty, they have a mind of their own.
i havent used mine for anything. i never carry it and have no idea what its for. (lynn said skinning rinos but i dont do that) it just puts a smile on my face when i wave it around like a crazy person then put it back in the collection
@@AdvancedKnifeBro now were i to be suddenly attacked by flesh eating ghouls or thrust back in time to some wild west solon i know what i knife i would grab so i have that going for me
My neighbors German Shepard came after me off leash one day, I whipped out my espada xl and split him completely down the middle as he had jumped straight at me and I fell backwards as I swung down. I carried the carcass back to their house and chucked it on the front porch. My neighbors came out yelling and I pocket flipped the espada out and shouted I am Thor and this is my hammer!! They ran inside and and that was that.
🤣pure awesomeness, just like the Espada. Absolutely unnecessary and over the top and yet, so well made and just a thing to behold.🤣 I had to watch it twice immediate 😱 🤣👍👌
I often worry about what would happen if a cop had to search me when I’m in full knife nerd mode. “Sir, do you have any weapons on you?” “Yeah uhhhhhh just take my pants off I guess”. One of the reasons I try not to break laws.
Knife snobs be like: "hurhur why would anyone buy such a ridiculous mall ninja knife?" My brother in Christ, I have seen people on youtube drive tanks through McDonald's drive-thru's.
The easiest cold steel to flick is the Voyager xl with the tanto blade… it’s big and it’s stupid windmill pattern scales won’t let it slip out of your hands. I don’t own the espada xl but it’s on the list.
The Espada XL is based on a 18th century (late 17th century) Spanish/Andalusian weapon called a Navaja (or Spanish Folding Knife) It was used for both self defense and dueling, most often by commoners.
After 6 inches, I go with the Cold Steel fixed blades. It is just too much handle, so the Espada XL and big Rajah are not for this bass boat boy. 6 inch and under are brass in pocket, and I'm gonna use it.
Best P-bo prep video? Also, Is there a Sample pack of your Advance Knife Batoning to load into a drum machine to recreate the last beat sequence? If not it's cool, I will check limewire.
I’m so happy to see this video Hanlen. Not entirely sure why, but I am. The fact that both batoning and sandwiches are featured is definitely a factor. How’ve you been man?
This knife is my grail knife! Ive pined after this knife for years now! Im so glad its finally been reviewed by a sardonic and awesome knife reviewer such as yourself! Love the video, love Cold Steel, love the channel! May God and demigod Lynn Thompson smile on us all!

Yes! A new video! When you were showing the pocket deploy method, for a second I thought you were shouting "Pol Pot! Pol Pot!" and had visions of you running around The Killing Fields of late 70s Cambodia, eviscerating members of the Khmer Rouge with your Cold Steel Espada XL. It was awesome.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro 'Holiday In Cambodia'!! The youngsters who worship your videos probably have no idea what a Dead Kennedy is. They definitely miss half of the references you make, and therefore half the funny. Oh boy I'm gettin old
Just sliced myself with my new Espada XL. Probably needs about 4 stitches although I just Krazy Glued the wound together. Great review and perfect capturing of the Espada’s personality!

Despite what cs advertising will tell you the xl voyagers actually have a larger and stronger lock than the xl espada. For that reason alone my espada mostly stays home and the xl voyagers are in rotation. Don't need a pocket clip with a knife that long. Won't be fishing around for it either way so unless ya wanna show off or your pocket goes down to your ankles it doesn't really serve a purpose.
My inner dialog was starting to question your manhood. I mean you invoke the blessed name of Lynne Thompson all the time, but you have never reviewed his his greatest knife. He kept saying "He went to film school, no one who goes to film school can properly handle an Espada XL"! I am glad you proved him wrong. The batoning segment was particularly enjoyable. Don't feel bad though, my inner dialog questions my manhood all the time, and I carry a Zombie Tools Parabellum in my front pocket.
So suspenseful. I was just waiting for Toyota to get it. The end editing was so great. And you even found a way to sneak in an auto. This one is a classic. While I can't speak for you I am 100% that Jesus loves you sir. And also we all know that when you say "holy father" You are in fact speaking of the aforementioned island retired 12 knife carrying real stick fighting mad man know as Lynn C. Thompson
Classical music fits surprisingly well over footage of batoning wood. Now I'm imagining someone going back to the old cold steel videos and editing in classical music. Random pig carcass being chopped in half to the moonlight sonata.

I like that the units of measurement are “Cold Steel” and “Metric.”
Massive respect for the woodchopping segment being completely synced to the music. I know how much time goes into that.
This channel is gold dude. You never fail to make me laugh whilst also informing me about knives I’ll never own.

was watching this at my desk while fidgeting with my Luzon and upon seeing the comparision am now compelled to go buy an espada
