    Been buying/using Cold Steel products since the '80s. My old Bushman is tough& resilient as hell! Always said Cold Steel knives where worth more than you paid. Cant say that anymore. Watching that was like getting news that your good friend has a terminal illness. ALL REVERSE FULL! Right the ship or sink, Cold Steel!

    We all knew Cold Steel was going to go downhill once the company was sold, and we're seeing it happen more and more as time goes on. Sad.

    Another thing I noticed was the handle seam has returned to its original form, just butted and not welded. Mine from 2014, has a welded seam. The early ones were just butted after forming, then they began welding the seam and now they've gone back to the original form, undoubtedly to save money. This is a real shame. Anyone who has older Cold Steel knives should hang on to them.

    I was worried about what would happen after Lynn Thompson sold Cold Steel. Looking at their knives in magazines and catalogs when I was a kid is what started my obsession with knives. I own several Cold Steels knives from the 90s to 2020s, and it's sad to think I may never purchase another one.

    After seeing the video, I tested my CS Bushman by clamping the tip of the knife in a vise and bending it more than 45 degrees in both directions, on several occasions, it passed the test. Then I found the box in which I received it when I bought it (2009.), and on the box there is a declaration from the importer for Serbia that the knife was imported to Serbia in 2008. The knife was also made in China, but it was clearly a different time when CS was really CS.

    What a shame, although it could just be from a bad batch?
    My Bushman Bowie saved my life back in 2015 when I was attacked by a pack of feral dogs at night whilst camping. I'd fortunately had the foresight to attach it to a branch the previous evening.
    I've got two of the old ones & now I'm wishing that I'd bought more.

    Great review and look back at the old test. We need to see this. As a long time cold steel knife buyer I had my concerns when the company was sold. A couple of years ago Lynn Thompson and cold steel put a video on youtube titled, "Cold Steel Address by Lynn Thompson" where Lynn assured us that he was still involved and the quality will not go down. I hope Lynn Thompson sees your video as well as the new owner Eddie Castro the CEO and President of GSM Outdoors.

    I used to be a CS fanboy. I've got probably 100 CS products, from tons of various folders, to multiple shovels, to axes and hatchets, to a buttload of machetes, to a grip of throwing knives and stars, to canes and staves, to several spears, and I've never had anything but great experiences with the products, no matter how hard I beat the tar out of them.
    Haven't bought any since they sold out, and now I'm glad I didn’t. 😢

  • @4449John

    Ya know what? I made a sad discovery about the new Cold Steel as well. This was on a pair of the Taiwanese made SR-1 Lite's. Back in the day, I used to gently bend the pocket clips on Cold Steel knives to help save my pants pockets from being eaten up too quickly. Never an issue when the outfit was here in Ventura. Well I ordered a couple SR-1 Lite's from my local dealer, went to make the same adjustment I'd made many times before, and both clips actually shattered in the process. Like I said, I'd done this before, but there was no heat treat or something had changed with the current clips; they both failed right at the lower bends. What was even more special, the new wonderful folks in TEXAS refused to sell me two more clips. I mean I wanted to just buy the clips, not get free clips, and they said no way. Fortunately, I discovered titanium deep carry clips from a guy in the area, and that solved my dilemma. So I'm certain that CS is cutting corners, your near disaster here just shows me how many corners the new owners are cutting. I have a bunch of CS knives going back quite a while, but I'm now officially wary of buying any more at this time. This is a very sad turn of events.

  • @republicjim120
    @republicjim120 Год назад +2

    Eleven years ago when I joined SAR and had no money to buy quality gear, that was the first fixed-blade knife I bought. I wrapped the handle for better grip and squared up the spine for striking sparks, but otherwise used it as made. It served me well for several years until I upgraded to a Jääkäripuukko 140. I still have the Bushman as my Jeep knife, and occasionally use and abuse it. Absolutely bulletproof knife for $20! So sad to see they have now ruined it, and I'm glad I got mine when they were good.

    My Cold Steel purchases from the past year or so:
    AD10 Lite Tanto - Its a beast. No issues with hard use.
    Roach Belly - Amazing value, awesome blade shape and probably my favorite "kitchen knife."
    Commercial pairing knife - I let someone use it and they broke the tip off before I ever tried it. One and done.
    Pendleton Lite Hunter - I use it for food/game processing. Works well.
    SRK SK5 - I took it out the day it arrived and chopped a smallish grapevine with it and it got 3 chips in it. Very disappointed after hearing great things. My BPS carbon is waaaay better. Was going to get the San Mai if I liked it.
    Wakizashi machete - Doesn't hold an edge. I might have messed it up with a pull-through sharpener though.

  • @JohnSmith-gs4lw
    @JohnSmith-gs4lw Год назад +3

    What that CS video didn’t explain is that you have to bend it TOWARDS the open side of the tube handle, not away from it like you did.
    (For the humor impaired, that was a joke)

    • @TheTrudge
      @TheTrudge Год назад

      That's along the lines that I was thinking, that it would be more likely to break in same direction as in the recent video, which seems like it would tend to want to tear the edge of the curved material. The older version was bent the opposite way, compressing the transition more than stretching. The recent test is certainly a valid test, especially when comparing to other knives on the market, amazingly it broke at the handle transition as well as the tip, in what was intended to be just a tip test.

  • @Demosophist
    @Demosophist Год назад +1

    I have two Kai knives, a Shun and a Kershaw, both of which broke. In both cases I had come back to the cutting table and found them broken so I never knew what actually happened to the tip. I suppose it's possible that they broke while doing food prep, which is all I used them for, and I ate the tips or something.

    @henryhill6126 Год назад +1

    Chris, you are a fair reviewer. That grain was to course, like sand. It should be much finer for 1055. The heat treat looks like it was too hot and the temper was too low. Spring temper for 1055 is 600 degrees Fahrenheit but they probably did the cheaper 350 degrees.
    Also, please take care of your health. You look different than you did in earlier videos. Take care and best wishes.

    I figured when Lynn Thompson sold Cold Steel that the new company would cheap out on materials and Quality Control would go to Hell. I am not surprised. I bought 2 of the Bushman Bowie's a few years back, pretty good knives. I recently bought a regular Bushman off of Amazon so now I know not to put it to extremely hard use . It is sad when new companies procure established companies and immediately screw up tried and time tested good products. I guess I won't be buying any of the new CS stuff, at least not until they get back to making quality a priority over profits.

Believe it or not, the Cold Steel.machetes, made in South Africa, are some of the toughest blades he has tested. (But he has also destroyed their Chinese blades, as you have done here). I recommend his channel for informed future purchases. The machetes really are on another level.

      I use Cold Steel’s South African made machetes at my job as a groundskeeper. Their 1055 steel is indeed bulletproof, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a good steel for the intended use. I love JoeX videos, but seriously, he’s only destroying shit, and that’s a dumb thing to base your opinion on. Those machetes aren’t on “another level”. They’re just soft and rusty.

    This Cold Steel fixblade failed because it's drop forged/stamped in a mold on a giant hydraulic press in a Chinese factory. Then Cold Steel out sourced the heat treatment of these blades to the lowest bidding heat treater, who then most likely sped through the process of heat treating hundreds if not thousands of blades at a time😬 Lynn Thompson sold out Cold Steel to a GSM Outdoors, a company that he knew would send most of it's manufacturing to China🙁

    Great video. And I actually love the sounds of kids having fun in the background. But what a disappointment in the Bushman. I guess the question now is, how is the Cold Steel warranty? Will they provide a replacement?

      @@preparedmind101 "This" what though? If he's truly heartbroken over his broken promise to preserve quality even as he sold the company and made bank, let him say so. Otherwise I call BS.

    The Cold Steel Bushman. The knife formally known for making Knife Test Nos utter the words " " One of us is going to die, me or this knife. And right now the knife is winning... " I'm almost heartbroken to see what has become of this company ( but I did kind of think this would be the result tbh ). I'm just glad I bought my G.I Tanto and Bushman before the company was sold.

    I have the original Bowie and Tanto 🤙 I used the knife to shape a spear shaft and skin the bark off, then finished with sand paper. It flies like a frickin missile and the blade flexes like crazy on impact 🤘🤘 a total legend 😎✌️✌️

    Base on your early review done years ago I purchased the bush knife. Still have it, love it. I made a great looking spear and toss it every now and then and the flex is great. Man the paint has even held up. Well, I won’t buy another.
