I really love to hear Lynn talk about Cold Steel designs. Listening to him talk about serrations convinced me to buy a folder with them, even though I have not been interested in one until now. I love his passion for martial blades. Unapologetic, and excited about things that other knife brands try to dance around. That is why Cold Steel Is an indispensable brand. Amazing designs, super tough construction, practical, capable, and super cost effective. I find I have more Cold Steel than anything else, and for good reason.
Exactly. He knows knives, he loves them and most of all he seems to have been putting all that knowledge and love to the Cold Steel products. I like that ...
Have been Cold Steel collector for over 30 years. Some of my favorites include: Imperial Tanto, Outdoorsman (carried for over 30 years bowhunting), Black Bear Sai Mai, S. Segal helmet breaker, Segal wakizashi, Cold Steel Seagal Signature Katana, Cold Steel Luzon Series Folding Knife, Bowie San Mai Laredo, San Mai Tai Pan (always wish that I had purchased the Imperial Tai Pan back then).
Yeah but let's not pretend like they're the same weapon they were 30 years ago man I just had a Bushman break on me I put my first Bushman through hell and the idea that my second one broke the tip within two weeks of owning it is absurd... Cold steel once the strongest sharpest production knife made now just more garbage... My tia pan I bought 10 years ago is a masterpiece, I seriously doubt it's the same quality dagger that it was then.
@@jbright4232 only buy off eBay type in Japan cold steel or Taiwan cold steel rare and discontinued works as well they aren't priced to much higher than retail from that year it was made I got a recon folder that was the old carpenter steel everyone loved so much for 150 only 30 bucks more than the svn model check it out I saw I boat load of out doorsman from japan
Love that you are talking to us the way Mr. Thompson did for years which is why we love Cold Steel. I love straigh edge, combo edges, and am looking forward to checking out a full serrated edge. Keep making these great knives! - I
I prefer a non serrated for everyday use but like the previous commenter said Lynn makes great points about self defense. Very nice knife and video. Thanks Cold Steel!
Love my Spartan. It's the right kind of heavy that I know I can end a situation quickly if it ever came to it, but it's not going to slow me down because it's unwieldy. Thankfully, I've only ever needed to use it in a utility sense. Love the quick deploy catch on it too. The blade is out and ready to go with zero effort...as long as I catch my pocket correctly, which when I miss I would attribute to my own inconsistency on the draw and not the knife.
Got the Spartan by a Holdout would go good with it. Its one of the only few Cold Steel folders I have yet to get. of the three or four tbat I don't own bit would like to this beast is ine of them for the reason they have it in the video , plain or/and serrated.
@@bruceleroy8063 Knife or handgun, it's about brain, heart. Short of cerebral contex being severed you aren't going to get an instant kill. Knives however can cause a lot more internal bleeding and trauma than a non lethal handgun wound resulting in shock, which can incapacitate and kill within minutes.
@@montycasper4300 Killing the attacker isn't the goal. Stopping them is. Consider if you were stabbed in the gut. You would probably not fall down until you lost enough blood or went into shock. Now change the stab to a far less deadly punch in the gut and it drops you because much more energy is delivered by the fist than by the knife blade. Energy is what drops people quickly, not blood loss. When seconds count a bleed out is minutes away.
@@bruceleroy8063 I agree that non lethal defense is preferable, but I also accept that for many the means of unarmed self defense isn't practical. In those instances a tool is necessary as a last resort measure where an opponent means them harm.
So many knives to choose….hold out series is awesome while sharp asf! I always feel like a kid on Christmas whenever I see what Cold steel has in store for us knife nuts.
Oh, very nice! I've seen these before and always admired them. The lines and the proportions make this a visually perfect knife. But with it's price it was something I could only look at and appreciate. But after this video, wow! It performs just as well as it looks. It really is one sweet knife.
I love Cold Steel . The best tools I've ever had the pleasure to hold in my hand . Products that I can rely on if my life is in danger ,Cold Steel will never let you down.
Love the Hold Out series. I wear the 3" and 4" models as my practical sgian dubhs. I really miss the 4" model and wish Cold Steel will bring it back. The 6" is a monster of a blade!
That slash from the beuty was a suprise, and in real life, I want HER as MY bodyguard, silent but deadly! I have some CS 2 sizes of Luzon, the smaller as a EDC, lost my Secret Edge 2 months ago, is somewhere in my home. But uses a Griek as a substitute for the smaller Luzon some times, or a mini Hunter, just reach down in the pocket pop the sheat off, no carry strap. The Tokyo Spike is a little to long for neck carry, so it's usually resting.
I have the Black Talon 2 serrated. It's unnerving how effective it is at rending material. With a dedicated Lansky CS sharpening rod, you have it made.
I love ❤ coldsteel been a customer since I first heard their name decade's ago...thank you Lynn and team for making product of top quality I can afford. Happy New Years
I've always enjoyed carrying a knife around with me. Not for self defence, but because it's a basic necessity in everyday life. I always seem to need one when I don't have one on me. I think the Hold Out would be the perfect knife to have for my next camping trip.
I've bought several Cold Steel knifes in the span of over 30 years. They make there knifes so strong & thick, I still use my original San mai lock back from 30 years ago.
I never thought much about Cold Steel for a long time. Now I own 6 and gifted my father a Cold Steel Voyager clip point for ranch work. They make the best full package knives with sheaths too. Good steels and strong designs. All else is flourish.
I want a Hold Out so bad. Such a cool knife, both the folder and the fixed blade are on my list of must have knives. Cold Steel does a great job at designing knives.
That's a really cool knife that I did not know about before. These videos are always informative and Cold steel is my favorite brand. I think my favorites are the Voyager and the recon one
Love the hold out. looks like Such a awesome blade, never had the chance to see one in person tho. Also the new takeovers of cold steel are doing an awesome job 👍🏻 especially the beautiful lady doing the badass demos 💪😍
Always comment on these awesome videos. No other knife maker would dare to test their products like cold steel does. Cold steel knives live in all my bags and belts.
I really love the old Weapons from cold steel, like the Viking Waraxes. I‘ve never really looked at the more modern weapons, but man, they‘re awesome!!!
DAMMM Nice. The hold out serrated till the end... " One Last Cut " ... Dont hold out on me . would love to own one some day!!! Love the videos you guys put out.
Have begun to collect more Cold Steel knives recently. Excellent selections, decent priced and exceptional performance. Currently own an original kukri, a XL espada in G10, assorted machetes and a Raja 2. They all out perform expectations.
Been eyeballing this one in the plain edge version for a while. Good points on the serrated version although more difficult and time consuming to sharpen.

Cold Steel will always have a spot in my collection. I can listen to Mr. Thompson talk all day!
I've always carried a non serrated but there were some damn good points in this video to reconsider.
I have to admit, Lynn describing the Hold Out made me hard
lol I read your comment right after I posted. That is too funny. Lynn was born for what he does.
Dude. Cold steels serrated edge knifes is made so they cut 3 times deeper. On flesh. Theres actually not much to think about
I had a Hold Out III and I loved it!
It's always nice to hear Lynn talk.
Happy New Year everyone!
Love that you are talking to us the way Mr. Thompson did for years which is why we love Cold Steel. I love straigh edge, combo edges, and am looking forward to checking out a full serrated edge. Keep making these great knives! - I
I love Cold Steel!!!!! Used them when I was in the Navy and ever since.
A modern interpretation of a folding fighting knife that is practical yet deadly… Holdout definitely sounds like a winner
I could listen to Lynn talk for hours, very informative. I need to get a hold out I m sold.
Great to see that Cold Steel will continue with its product videos also in 2022. Good luck and stay healthy.
I love Cold Steel. Always fun to watch their videos.
I prefer a non serrated for everyday use but like the previous commenter said Lynn makes great points about self defense. Very nice knife and video. Thanks Cold Steel!
I've always loved serration. It was really nice hearing those points hammered home.
Nice contrast between the sweet heart with the lovely smile and the bad boys wielding death
I would love to add to my collection so glad to have the stickman himself on the channel seeing him use the tools himself cant get any better
Simple yet refined.
Cold steel knives are so amazing. This one looks like something you could hunt with on its own.
I love the practicality of this fold-out! Thanks for this sharp giveaway!
Always, always always wanted one of these. Talk about beast. the locks on these Cold Steels is really second to none
Love my Spartan. It's the right kind of heavy that I know I can end a situation quickly if it ever came to it, but it's not going to slow me down because it's unwieldy. Thankfully, I've only ever needed to use it in a utility sense. Love the quick deploy catch on it too.

Got the Spartan by a Holdout would go good with it.
Its one of the only few Cold Steel folders I have yet to get.
of the three or four tbat I don't own bit would like to this beast is ine of them for the reason they have it in the video , plain or/and serrated.
Knives either deter contact or kill very well, but they don't stop people quickly.

Looks like a great self defense blade! Enjoyed the vid. T'Ripp suprised me with that quick cut at the end haha - awesome 😁
Always loved the holdout blade shape.

"...Stick likes getting hurt." Nearly died laughing
Good discussion of the serrations
Awesome knife, love your serrated edges !!!

Shared, love these videos. Huge fan of the Hold Out. Awesome knife
I love the holdout! Great tool!
Love the big knives too. Been interested in Lynn's work since I was a tiny little Air Force Airman in the late 70's. Yeah I'm old.
For such a large folding knife, it’s a very elegant & unique piece. I’d love to get my hands on a blade with such brawn and beauty.
Great information about serrated knife edge.
That hold out looks killer!!!
I love it! You guys are doing good.
love cold steel knives and the hold out would be a great addition to my collection...

From the first video I saw of Cold Steel I’ve been a fan.
Excellent addition!!!
