Perfect example of why i love this company. Never see any other knife companies going out in a field stabbing random shit to display how sturdy their knives are. He is having genuin fun doing this and it puts a smile on my face.
Unfortunately, if its benchmade it would be "DNC blacklisted/ illegal 🚫 knives" made from legal firearms confiscated through "RED FLAG LAWS"! Benchmade SUCKs, very over-priced anyway...
One thing that I have always admired about Cold Steel is that when they make a knife and showcase it; They always talk about how easily it could kill someone. No other company does this. At least they are very honest and because of that all of my daily carry knives have that Cold Steel logo on them. I appreciate companies being honest about their designs. The CEO show casing them like Mr. Thompson here does is another major selling point. He is not some guy sitting in an office watching profit margins, he is the true leader of the company. He designs a lot of these knives for him to fight with himself. Seriously such an amazing company. The wasp isn't quite my style so i will not be getting one but I think a lot of people really would love this knife. I peffer single edges heavier knives for multitasking purposes. It was always funny at work when the liberals saw me whip out my Espada XL to cut open a box.
I've always been a sucker for double edge daggers, and Cold Steel does them like nobody else. Tai Pan, Peacekeeper, Counter Tac, Shanghai Shadow and Warrior, etc. Keep 'em coming, guys. 👍
It's hard to not buy cold steel product when they have a owner like lynn Thompson. I love this guy. I hate seeing people rag on dude in the comments when he cares much more about the products he sends you then the ppl at these other companies. Keep up the good work lynn
He’s right, I wouldn’t want to go head 2 head with him playing Fruit Ninja. I’ll probably end up getting this knife, I already have the drop forged boot knife and the drop forged Hunter and have had nothing but positive experiences with those blades.
Even though I fully trust Cold Steel and have beaten the crap out of several of their products and know they can take it. I'm glad they show there was little to no damage to the knife after stabbing the steel to make believers out of the skeptics.
Just got mine. I wasn't expecting the sturdiness of this stout and "razor sharp" dagger! A "DAGGER"!!! There is NO BS in this video. I never seen a dagger like this. To say that I really, REALLY LIKE it... is an understatement! Getting another!!!
I may just buy this knife. I think the very first video i saw of Lynn was with pepper spray a long time ago, his employees were taking blasts in the face to demonstrate its effectiveness, this is what got CS a loyal customer. Lynn took a blast to the face also, the man doesn't ask others to do anything he's not willing to do himself, that gave me a glimpse into his character and i can respect that.
I used to love their advertising as a kid. I got a vg1 recon tanto and we used to smash cinderblocks and car hoods with it. Just scrap hoods like all hillbillies have laying around, not those on functioning cars lol. Then I got a benchmade and gradually began to look down on cold steel. I realized my foolish error this year when I handled a code 4 and ad-15. Wow!!! Wow!! You folks make some fine knives. I promptly headed down the street to my parents garden and picked up the recon, still exactly where I left it nearly a decade ago. We had used a palm sander on the blade and recoated it in undercoating under a thick clearcoat. I ground it up with some neat jimping and cut down the handle to make it look cool, then engraved it for a bespoke zombie slaying blade for my sister for xmas. Utter waste of a fine knife but the damage had been done in the throes of youthful ignorance so what's another hour under the grinding wheel? Thinned it down under the blade to emulate some of the nice slicing power of a hollow grind so it can serve as a kitchen knife and got a polished razor edge out of it. Definitely getting myself a wasp for xmas, what a cool knife!
Another good job for Coldsteel it is like the best sentry knife since FairbairnSykes Fighting knife, I love the grooves and the design simple but very very sturdy. Keep it up team Coldsteel 👍👍👍.
Very nice! Reminds me of the Fairbairn Sykes knife used by the British military. I have the first version of the Drop Forged Survivalist myself. A tough knife that I use for chores inside and outside my house.
The ability to quickly cut through ropes, straps, cords, wires, seaweed, vines could be life saving, especially if you are in a river, lake, or ocean environment. Serrations can cut through air craft aluminum.
I made a nice set of contoured micarta scales for mine. Which cover the whole of the handle, even the guard, now it is awesome. Made a leather sheath with a silent clasp. What a dagger!
Americans are so lucky that they can get Cold Steel knives so cheap, us europeans have to pay about double the price.But i absolutely love them, i have the large voyager, 2 american lawmans(best edc knife ever made-)and a recon 1 tanto is on the way.Recon 1 spear point and the bush ranger are my next targets Also i love Lynn Thomsons style absolute alpha i would trust a man like this 1000 times more than some snake in a suit
I just got a box from Cold Steel delivered to my house yesterday.... It was just like Christmas! I felt like a 7 year old.... I love Lynn's vision! Great products and a price point for every customer. I'm still looking at my goods with glee. No one beats Cold Steel. No one even comes close.
Lynn is a fucking badass. Love cold steel. What he brings to the knife world is amazing. No matter what your budget is, you're getting a reliable blade.
As awesome as the knives are, it would behoove him to seriously manage his weight. If he wants to around a while longer designing knives loosing that belly would be a very good choice. Great products, cold steel are good solid knives.
Look at the tip at 0:45, really look at it, the point broke off, might only be half a mm, but it's broken. Now look at the tip at 0:51. And he says, 'So I stabbed it .... Sergio stabbed it through .... look at the tip ..... the tip is darn near perfect'. Is this really the same tip?
Lynn nice knife and I would say your company puts out some great products I remember you guys from the old gun shows and all the good deals on the tables . Keep doing what you do.
First time viewer like how you actually use the weapon you made that's fuc%kin cool man nice work brother love the line "that's a big ass hole" fuc%kin floored me
I really need this in my collection..I currently have no fixed blade daggers,the only dagger knives I own are a couple OTFs and a single edge dagger blade Boker Kalashnikov 74 auto...this is just one of many I need in my collection
“I am a lot better than you think I am”…..never judge a book by its cover you can be surprised specially by someone that have designed effective tools that are very strong and useful in a self defense situation for a living 😎🤙
Thank you very much for uploading this video! Could you upload a video in which you compare the CS Taipan 3V version with the WASP, please? Thank you very much in advance.
Sad to see an end to an era in terms of Cold Steel being sold. I know Lynn says that he expects the integrity of Cold Steel to remain, but it we not be the same, it never is the same when a major manufacturer sells.
Waiting for a rondel dagger video. There's none in RUclips and u guys never made a demo of it and I've been on the fence of whether to buy it or not. Make a demoooooo
Looks like this would be better than a pistol for self defense. Never jams. Never runs out of ammo. Always "loaded". And it's silent, so you don't have a bunch of nosey neighbors, looking out their windows.
That’s a nice shank/dagger. If you get caught carrying that in Texas, its a federal crime. Hopefully they will let you take it to prison with you for protection.
Average Joe cause from what I’ve read, as long as your over 18 you can Carry with you any size blade as long as you don’t enter restricted areas like hospitals government buildings etc. In Texas
Please change the tip geometry on the SRK back to what it used to be. I purchased a new one in order to replace a lost one. And the tip is much more fine and much more easily broken.
Still waiting for the cold steel pizza cutter
I can imagine the promo video would be Lynn cutting the top off a Buick lol
You know it'll cut 200+ pies, before needing to be sharpened.
You'll enjoy this video...I promise. ruclips.net/video/BlZ00P-KuSs/видео.html

@@csknives u guys can dish. out some serious knives i personally love the voyager
This is the most Cold Steel thing Cold Steel has ever made...
And I like it!
How is this different than literally anything else they have done?
Lmao
Long Live Lynn Thompson.
Too bad he sold cold steel!!!
@@Wildwestwrangler He will always be a great man.
Stabs through metal, “still quite pointy” ... pokes arm

Those are a great line up!
The jumbo sized Shanghai Warrior, Smatchet machete, and old school Warhead, are also great double edge blades!
Don't forget the hideout! Scandi ground dagger, ground perfectly, insanely sharp and pointy!
*That Drop Forged Collection is a Massive bang for the Buck!*
I don't need another damn knife,
but I do need this knife!
I love all my Cold Steel knives.
Thank you Lynn Thompson!!!
Copy that!
I always love when Lynn uses his products. He's always got this "proud dad" look on his face 😁
Lynn Thompson: An American Bad Ass & one of my heroes.
I really like when el Jefe test his knifes. Big fan of CS since -92. Respect from north Sweden👍💪
I’d love to see a collab between Lynn Thompson and Phil Swift!

Phil: NOW THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE
Lynn Thompson..... Such a great American. Makes me proud.

Lynn gets a lot of love
Impressive as always Lynn. Always loved the Absolute Proof DVDs.
Fairbairne-Sykes, meet the new century.
@Siward Beorn & all of them would be proud of that modern day design 👋👏👋👏👋 Oh Yeah Boi 😎🎱
@siward beorn I was thinking the same about the DF Boot knife. I could have an Applegate in my boot and a Sykes on my chest rig. Damn!

Stabs ammo can “thats a big ass hole” haha
I noticed that also. Hilarious..... 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Would this knife pierce cornbread? 🤔
Lynn noticed that when he said it you can tell lol
That's a beastly dagger. Respect from India to Lynn the Legend.🙏
He does not care my goon.
Just got mine. I wasn't expecting the sturdiness of this stout and "razor sharp" dagger! A "DAGGER"!!! There is NO BS in this video. I never seen a dagger like this. To say that I really, REALLY LIKE it... is an understatement! Getting another!!!
The multiple layers of leather is the real test, and that’s pretty hardcore.
4:50 Excuse me?
Tells it like he see's it haha
@@csknives Lynn's the best! 😎👍
I'm dying😅😂🤣
Clothing, flesh and bone stand NO chance with yet "another", excellent Cold Steel blade!!!
Lynn Thompson is my spirit animal. Keep em coming Lynn!!!
Lynn, I just got my your Voyager XL Tanto plain edge, that thing is great! Thanks for thinking of us Lefty folks with the optional left side clip!
He will never answer you my goof.
How can anyone not like this guy???
"If you're ever attacked by an apple, you know the wasp will do the job" This is why I love cold steel

@Siward Beorn Thanks, man!
I don't need this one but I love my FGX Wasp. Well done Cold Steel !
Wish I could give this 2 thumbs up likes. Love CS and have had the honor of meeting Mr. Thompson. Genuine person and a great American.
These reviews sell me in these knives. I have the boot knife and was curious about the Wasp. Now, I want one!!!😉👍🏼
Hopefully a Serrated one will be available eventually. I know the FGX one is Serrated but a metal version would be Awesome
Why the hell would anyone need a serrated version of this kind of knife?
They should
The ability to quickly cut through ropes, straps, cords, wires, seaweed, vines could be life saving, especially if you are in a river, lake, or ocean environment. Serrations can cut through air craft aluminum.
Cold Steel would have to change their serration pattern. The current pattern is far too delicate for heavy use.
"Attacked by an apple"
☝🎅
😂
I made a nice set of contoured micarta scales for mine. Which cover the whole of the handle, even the guard, now it is awesome. Made a leather sheath with a silent clasp. What a dagger!
i love how lynn still screams "DIE!"
Its the KIAI. It means "scream of ki" in japanese. Aka: IAAAAH!!!

Very rare to be attacked by an apple. But I was attacked by a bottle of water a few weeks ago.
As awesome as the knives are, it would behoove him to seriously manage his weight. If he wants to around a while longer designing knives loosing that belly would be a very good choice. Great products, cold steel are good solid knives.
Thank you for the demonstration and video. I enjoy your products in training and use.
And at a price that a soldier can afford and won’t cry too much if it’s lost.
Very Cool Video & Knife. I Want One. Also I Wish Cold Steel Had Some Dangler Sheaths Or Dangler Attachments For Sheaths.
The amount of knives this man carries still blows me away.
Had my voyager for 3 years now and it's as sharp as it was the day I bought it.
Like a Gerber mark 2 but without the lame serrations
Look at the tip at 0:45, really look at it, the point broke off, might only be half a mm, but it's broken. Now look at the tip at 0:51. And he says, 'So I stabbed it .... Sergio stabbed it through .... look at the tip ..... the tip is darn near perfect'. Is this really the same tip?

Now scale that up into a modern Iberian Gladius.
Every product I have owned from Cold Steel is amazing. And I trust my life and that of my family with every product I have that is Cold Steel
I want an hour video of just pure slow mo shots of this guy.
Sounds sexual my goon.
@@M60gunner1971 only a sexual being would think its sexual.

Love that guy !
First time viewer like how you actually use the weapon you made that's fuc%kin cool man nice work brother love the line "that's a big ass hole" fuc%kin floored me
Well its obviously tougher than a Farborne Sykes dagger. They have a history of the tips breaking when hitting bone.
"That's a big ass hole" 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Once upon a time, Lynn Thompson had a good ammo can.
4:51 "That's a big ass hole."
Inflection is everything.
Looks like a good piece of kit for social work
Did he just say "that's a big asshole"? Hahahahahaha!!!

Coldsteel in 2 words performance and quality
That camo cold steel hat is awesome.
Glad u added handles to this series! Great knife!
Seems like a great concealed carry defense blade
Never stop making these I love it I want a hundred. I will buy one a month until I have a hundred.
But you lie...
“I am a lot better than you think I am”…..never judge a book by its cover you can be surprised specially by someone that have designed effective tools that are very strong and useful in a self defense situation for a living 😎🤙
This is why I love cold steel! Don’t know why i waited so long to purchase my first knife
"The Backwoods Cryptid poker! The Bigfoot toothpick...!"
The recon tanto is probably a close single edged comparison. I may have to get one.
Thank you very much for uploading this video!
Could you upload a video in which you compare the CS Taipan 3V version with the WASP, please?
Thank you very much in advance.
this is an excellent knife, it's also intimating and just seeing it on a person will deter conflict
Does this blade have an aroma?!
You guys should make a good bayonet for a Mossberg 590a1 but with the sword likeness of the bayonet for a Winchester 1897 trench gun. I'd buy 20
A comment worthy of agreement.
Can't stop saying it, I love cold steel. A knife for self defense is very important specially if you live here in the Philippines.
Very cool a little smaller and it would be a great boot knife.
Sad to see an end to an era in terms of Cold Steel being sold. I know Lynn says that he expects the integrity of Cold Steel to remain, but it we not be the same, it never is the same when a major manufacturer sells.
The new ownership will probably not attack unsuspecting apples in such a violent manner.
Where's the throwing part?
Thanks should make more of the "A Day In the Life" videos. The 3 they've done so far were great videos.
Wow..now thats a cool dagger.perfect design.
Props to Lyn Thompson
Waiting for a rondel dagger video. There's none in RUclips and u guys never made a demo of it and I've been on the fence of whether to buy it or not. Make a demoooooo
We just filmed the Rondel yesterday, I'd expect to see it up on the cold steel channel next Wednesday or so.
That is really a fantastic dagger and made to do what a dagger should in any kinda weather 😎
Love Lynn .great product great company

@Erik B I live in a "knife friendly" State. I regularly carry a sword cane legally.
That’s a nice shank/dagger. If you get caught carrying that in Texas, its a federal crime. Hopefully they will let you take it to prison with you for protection.
Average Joe where does it say it’s a federal crime? Not trying to be rude just curious to know the actual law
Average Joe cause from what I’ve read, as long as your over 18 you can Carry with you any size blade as long as you don’t enter restricted areas like hospitals government buildings etc. In Texas
I may have to take another look at this. Very nice.
Sweet combat dagger!!! Keep making cool knives and keep up the training!!!!
The way it went through them apples is barbarism.
That is also one of my favorite Dan Inosanto quotes! I heard it from Ron Balicki.
