Cold Steel is like an alcoholic in denial when it comes to their pocket clips. They just refuse to admit they have a problem.
Bwuaaaahaaa! I agree. Even though, I use knives for work, hard work and Cold Steel beats everything else I've tried.
Been a cold steel customer for over 15 yrs, never had a problem with their pocket clips.
What exactly do you mean?
Yeah, it's a boring, low style pocket clip that walks around with the screws not really soused down. But... I still love the knife.
HOW DARE YOU!!! COLD STEEL CAN STOP WHENEVER THEY WANT!!! (I personally like the clips, but I get why others don’t)
Looks like a great edc knife for heavier tasks. I'm actually impressed on how well cold steel does their heat treatment on all their steels and the fit and finish seems to have improved alot. Keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable.
I am getting alarmed at the lack of talking bricks in the content lately.
Yep. We might need to send out a search party soon. So what’s the story, Pete? Hmmm. Nothing to say? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIM?!
Pin this comment ASAP.
@@JohnSmith-gs4lw He is stuck in the new patio!
Good Monty Python Attack 👍
A homage opener to Holy Grail, you sir are my eternal hero; best comedy film...EVER.
Picked up the tanto version a few months ago and I've actually been carrying it more than my Recon 1.
Haha - I am currently carrying the knife from this video. Went back to see what Pete thought of it when he had it, and saw that he size-compared it to my Spyderco knife which he had as well must have missed that. I’m not used to this RUclips thing, what a reality bending experience.
Coincidentally I have ordered an air lite and I'm awaiting the delivery. So I appreciate this action video a lot to increase the anticipation.
Don't forget to order a new trashcan.
Looks like a very useful knife, like the voyager series toned down.
Congratulations! Feeding chickens, and preparing food wasn't so epic ever before!
Hi Pete. Lol, the music selected was very Cold Steel, so too the very scientifc trash can test 😆.
I have carried this knife for 2 years now. I carry it to satisy my need to larp as a gas station tactical ninja.
WHAT I LIKED
* Slimline profile
* Tri-ad locking mechanism
WHAT I DISLIKE
* The pocket clips need to be sent to a burning🔥rubbish tip
* I'm not too fussed on the steel
* The handle is uncomfortable to use for an extended period of time
I agree with you that it's a decent EDC knife. Its not like you'd carve a wooden spoon with it.
Now that we've had more time to judge the GSM take-over I think it's been overly negative. From what I can gather people haven't been happy about 3 things, namely:
* The increased used of cheaper steels
* Warranty issues, &
* Online customer service
Personally, I also don't like "Stickman". He just rubs me the wrong way.
" Honey, could you cut up some tomato, cheese and sausage for lunch?"
"Sure, just let me finish chucking the trashcan at the knife, and I'll take care of it"
Rubbish bin, not trash can.....This...Is... Australia!
@@wadejensen3301 sorry Leonidas.
@@motaman8074 glad you got the reference mate👍👍
By far the most scientific test of a knife, blade geometry and steel performance I ve ever seen. I reckon Cold Steel should employ Pete to do their new blade and product torture test videos.
I had the same issue with the ad 10 and sr1 lite… I dremeled the scales ( chamfered the edges) and now you don’t even notice it on either knife! Cedric, they not only use Jimmy slash but Aaron from “Gideons tactical “ also did a few cold steel knives with positive results!
Put a 17 degree convex edge on it and it cuts like a laser. The Air Lite has become my favorite EDC knife. The ergo's for my hand are great..a stellar budget EDC knife.
Was that a take of a Python sketch? Either way, that creased me up, hilarious! Replayed the opening sequence numerous times, laughed everytime. Still making the most entertaining knife review videos.
Was straight out of holy grail brought me back to high school.
I don't want to think that I have lost a trash can so much as I have gained a Cold Steel...in a real and legally binding manner.
They've got huge... folding knives.
@@23Scadu - I am tickled that the reference is still alive.
Stop that! Stop that!
👍
Another entertaining review of a knife that many of us can afford. Thanks for the sharpening demonstration with the DMT diamond sharpener. Pete, hope you are enjoying your new house and farm.
So glad you closed out the vid with just some basic, normal, practical sharpening. There's so much broscience surrounding knife sharpening, possibly the worst signal-to-noise ratio of any topic I've ever encountered on the internet. People sharpened their knives on rocks for thousands of years! It doesn't have to be that complicated!
A really returned my Air Lite and got a Recon 1 instead for just a few dollars more. Much happier with the Recon 1.
The steel is actually made by that hitachi but that hitachi isn’t that hitachi since they made magic wand into their own brand .
Hitachi is one of the biggest manufacturing companies in Japan they make a huge variety of (sometimes weird) products
I really like the pacing of this video! Comedy up front, solid review, tight wrap up +.bonus sharpening.
The start of that was so Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
The belt clip is on the wrong end and there’s no lanyard hole, but I steel love this knife, I bought one from my local sporting good place and I’ve only had it a couple weeks. I’m fairly rough on such things though, so far it’s holding up good.
Got the Air Lite Tanto a few months ago (the first CS folder for me). Liked it so much, I recently picked up the Air Lite drop point as well.
I love your videos. Not only are you one of the few people on RUclips who are honest, but the music you use is amazing. Reminds me of the old power ranger series 😂
Pete SCIENCING THE FUCK out of a knife.
Great video!! I didn't know you reviewed the air lite, I just picked the tanto. I feel better with your positive review. Thanks for your work and effort 👌
😯 The trash can test! The future of knife testing has arrived!
Pete's thought process: run through field with barrel. Throw said barrel at knife. Aaaannnddd ACTION!!
I hope i am not the first to notice that the video length is 12/27, like our favourite swedisch stainless 12c27! It hink thats funny :D
Those adjustable saw horses are the most useful tool in the shop for me
0:04 into the video, I saw what you were doing and was like.... what could go wrong here?
Mine had an issue where the blade would flop open a bit and stay there. The replacement also had the same issue. They both met the trashcan.
Great Video! Love the air lite, but I think I will return it and try out the American Lawman. What do you think?
I've enjoyed mine so far. Feel like the aus-10 has been working as well for me as vg-10, 154cm, and 14c28n. Comes back great on diamond loaded strops.
On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
I fart in your general direction.
@@BrutalJuice138 French persons!
We are the knights that say knifeee!
Thanks for the video. I hope we get to see the "lab" sissal test this knife next.
Your review was as entertaining and informative as always.
That was a heckin' gnarly throw, brah! Wicked awesome! You showed that knife who's boss!
I'M holding the Stretch 2 in V-Toku, ordering some Air Lites, good job, Gabe is a Hoot
The perfect RUclips intro doesn't exis...
I’m still in stage of “Sticker Shock” and am trying to justify the new prices. Especially Cold Steel...
Has there been a recent price hike?
I bought this for $75 and now it's down to $55 on amazon
this guy sharpens..
theres always one chicken 🐔 that makes lunch difficult that's the one you eat first 😆
Holy shit the Monty Python bit murdered me
Great testing, but next time the trash can test needs to take place in a darkened warehouse with dry ice smoke in the background. The metal music is fine as is
Hey Pete. I was wondering if you could perform a twisted sisal cut test using the same Knife at different grits e.g. how does cutting feel and how many cuts can it do after the 50 grit beast, XXC 100 grit etc. all the way up to the lapping film finishes you often employ. I've been seeing a bunch of discussions recently with one side swearing by sub-micron mirror finishes while the other swears by 300 grit and says anything higher results in a less durable edge. I would be highly curious to see if your test reveals a point of diminishing returns! Cheers and keep up the great content!
Man just wanted to say I love your channel,stay safe an don't swim in creeks down under!😳
Yesss!!! More Monty python and more bricks... er...Stoney
Metal AF
Great vid!! My air lite.....thought this would be my knife of knives and I do like most all of this cold steel, however. Yeah the clip is massive but no hot spot for me and I don’t care about the looks really. The one true knock I have with this is the AUS10, I have many knives that I obsessively keep sharp and it just seems that I cant get the air lite as sharp as I get my others including the D2 blades. If they changed the blade steel I might buy another, even so I do carry this and do like it.
An absolute madman
I fucking love this guy
what concerns me is that all Cold Steel folders that I've handled the blades don't go deep into the handles. On their clip point blades, the tip goes in only about 1/8" inch deep into handle when folded.
The K390 Delica at 3:39, is that a natural patina..or did you stonewash it in any way? Thanks!
The trashcan test. Genius!
Where is the JapaKnives review? We need it!
To be honest this should be industry standard testing procedure...
Excellent music to start with. Sounds very similar to Satriani.
The holy Grail intro was epic 🤣
Was the Plasmatics’ video for “the Damned” filmed on your property?
Great vid as always Pete. Thanks.😊👍
Very 'Python'. Great intro.
YES. I've broken it to my wife that I am in love with Pete--the MP&HG reference was the last straw.
So is this aus10 or aus10A. I’ve heard the annealing makes a good bit of difference. Have you felt with both?
You should pick up the pro lite. Its edge lasts an amazingly long time. 😉 That's what she said. Lol. For 22 dollars american you can't beat it. I buy them for all my non knife friends that totally abuse them and use them for stupid shit. Then they have me sharpen them up. Lots of fun.
I have been wanting to ask for a while, for someone who seems pretty adept at freehand sharpening, why the guided systems? You got your mates S110V Para 2 pretty sharp on that Worksharp field sharpener a while back? Asking from the perspective of someone who wants to improve (currently awful) at freehand sharpening.
Thank you for making these videos! That opening was too funny :-D
Excellent vid 👏 Thanks C&A
hope you're far away from the flooding bud!
Very hard to put my Spyderco Delica k390 away...
Love the DMT Diafolds.
Cold Steel and The Black Mages do kind of fit together.
I can't help laughing every time I hear the name Jimmy Slash. Reminds me of Pee-Wee Herman. Not taking the piss...
Hail Lynn! Hail conglomerate!
🤣👍👍You rule knife reviews!!
Do the Benchmade Mini Adamas next!
Know if you pull the strings on the feed bag it zips right off!
Thank you.
Jimmy Slash is an arm wrestling friend of mine...
can you recommend a good sharpening stones you can buy in australia for CS folders with steels like XHP and S35VN? thx
Since CTS-XHP’s carbides are primarily plain chromium carbides, you can use anything and still see good edge longevity. S35VN is a little different because of the vanadium carbide. To see good edge longevity with S35VN, use diamond/CBN/silicon carbide. If I were you, I’d go with the work sharp guided sharpening system (the diamond bench stone) or king waterstones.
Pete, I swear, if a dingo eats your chickens and you don’t fucking say the line....we’re fighting.
Great job on the video!
Love mine. I hate the clips. It's a great knife
Caprese salad has to be more delicious than twisted sisal.
so was that a metric or imperial trash can?
Are you going troppo in the bush?
Alternate title: Does the trashcan survive the Cold Steel test??
No !
I've had a AD10 and Sr1 and a 4max scout and honestly the quality of the sr1 and ad10 felt pretty bad and both came with chips in the blade . The 4max scout on the other hand feels really and better quality even though it's a budget knife .
Weird my AD10 came perfect and beautiful.
From the Future: GSM has discontinued a lot of popular models…. And is releasing lite versions of everything
What a manly stud
60 bucks now in the states
I wonder if he knows that feed bag has an easy tare opening on top
Great stuff
At least Cold Steel is bring back the Hold Out 3, the greatest knife they ever had Taiwan make. Maybe this time around the never to be sufficiently mocked "knife community" will buy enough of them to keep the design in production.
Is that the DMT with Medium/Fine, or Fine/Extra Fine? Please let me know. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother 👍 ⚔️ ✝️ 🇺🇲
Beating Andrew Demko at his own game.
for a guy with such rarified taste in blades*, he don't half keep some very plain ol' ordinary chickens.
*and cats
You could buy this knife....or you could buy the....
Cue death metal...
☠😡🔥😈💀*BROKEN SKULL*💀🤯🔥😈☠
I watch mainly for the science.
then on boy is the next video up the chain for you: ruclips.net/video/mCxWIs5ZwvE/видео.html
Uhhh I’m assuming you meant “garbage bin” in the title
Appealing to his American viewers
Ha, I thought Boston Dynamics sent you a Spot.
