Love mine :) Very unique piece and movement & the history behind it.

Nice disassembly vid. I agree on the washers.

This design was conceived with some niche uses in mind, primarily climbing. The hole is big so it is that much easier to find and open. The lanyard hole is huge to provide more ways to attach the knife to your gear (like a carabiner). The clip still has the hole for access to the pivot when in a tip-down carry position. The part of the handle that sticks forward eliminates the choil so you don’t snag when cutting rope. This part does slightly touch your thumb, but that happens on other Spydercos and isn’t a functional problem. You can also just flick out the blade instead of slow rolling. The thumb ramp has no jimping so it is not abrasive on rope, which is different, but it’s not any steeper than the Paramilitary 2’s. The opening hole is also the same size as the Paramilitary 2’s. All of those characteristics may not be some people’s preference, but they are all purposeful. In my opinion, the best parts of the design are the lack of a choil and big handle for any type of grip.

I'd have to pass on this one too. I guess you could grind down that pointy spot on the handle, but there are still other issues that aren't so easy to work around. I't just isn't speaking to me.

I like what youdo on this mod. Could you give us the bying references of those parts(pocket clip, thump knobs etc…) please. Thanks

looks very similar to 5.11 Ryker DP Full.

I love mine Want a Hinderer bowie auto next

Never thought id see a cold steel look like a sebenza

Lock back are amazing but they are friggin stiff to press

Love that they delete the stupid lanyard hole. Just ordered the same set 🍻

I'm gonna blade swap my m4 tenacious whenever mine comes in

Thanks for a nice cover of this new and interesting deviation from CS's stable..and I agree with you on the ticonnectors being much better. 👊🤙

How's the lockup on yours?

That is sweet! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

The only fucked up thing about this knife is the thumb studs. My thumb is all messed up thanks to that stupid idea of having it pointed. I would change the color to red

Nice boots, I prefer Nick’s myself 👍

What brand of boots?

Fuck I just ordered a 200$ knife. Guess I’ll order another one!

This and the Demko shark cub that will be 60$ are gonna sell a ton

I already have the Lynch NW clip on the way, hope to find out if it’s one of the better ones, I have always loved their clips on my spydercos

Cold Steel hasn’t made a winner for over a decade. I’m probably going to pick this one up.

No way, cold steel finally made something pretty, and not looking like 3 bucks chinese shiet?

what's 9:36 thumbstud model? tie connector?

Does it have a steel lock bar insert to keep the blade off the titanium? Also have you experienced any lock stick or lock rock?

Great video, man. I’d never guessed that’s a Cold Steel…Thx for the breakdown🔪🔪🔪

Can I ask how the detent is on this one? Some of these Atlas locks have pretty weak detents like some crossbar lock stuff (like the Deka for example).

Yeah that’s a winner.

It is very weird at first because it is sooooo thin compared to "normal" knives. I bet a polished handle version would sell really well too.

is it not out? I can't find it

Why can't I find this knife anywhere?

Big time bummer that it's T6 on the body screws. The only screws I've ever stripped are T6 which is why I won't spend my money on a knife that has them, except on the clip which still sucks. I can't even fathom why companies are still using them when the entire community has said they need to be T8 for years.

I saw this thing on some bladeshow videos... Im liking it alot... but WHERE did you get one??? I cant find it anywhere... and how much!??

Not the same as the Demko Shark lock…quite a bit different actually

I remember years ago when I started buying pocket knives before EDC lol they were very expensive and they were just pocket knives no clips when they finally put a clip on it they were literally fall off Cold Steel I paid $79 Voyager this was back in late 80 s and I EDC in Chef pants I return it three times in a year and 2 months call tio send me a letter saying third time would be the last time and that was the last year that I purchased a cold steel

And the price

Got this one in 2 days ago and it’s freaking amazing, it’s my only cold steel model.

me likey

Thanks for the disassembly video. I was wondering why the big cutout in the heel of the blade and as suspected, it's to fit the lock-bar mechanism when the blade is folded in the handle. Production quality looks top-notch. You can see they scalloped the blade tang to meet up with the stop pin for more/better contact. Really good. These are Taiwan-made if I recall correctly. Also, I actually like this lock design better than the Shark Lock because the pull tab is completely out of the way. This knife really has a lot going for it, including the uncomplicated design aesthetic. Would be interesting if they did a version with thinner blade stock and slightly thicker handle scales, maybe in G10, and at a lower price point.

Who carries these?

Looks nice. Is there a lanyard pin on it? Blade play?

That is nice

Regrind?

Got my launch 20 for $108 🤘🏼

This thing looks sweet. Might have just found me a new EDC.

Link for the pocket clip?

What is the blade thickness? Dont see it listed? Inassume its .125

I am getting one. I neeed one. And it runs on washers?! Almost too good to be true. It’s actually made to do work

Agree, Good Recomendation

Is it on bearings or washers?
