Been wanting to get one of these for awhile...excellent blades!

How's the blade held up? Has it been a good chopper? And dents or dings?

does the sheath work with teklok?

Hello and thank you for this Video on The Trail Master VG1 made in Japan..! Considering the purchase of a strong and durable hunting knife, I researched different knives and knife brands, my choices led me to choose 1 Cold Steel knife, either 1 Trail Master or 1 Natchez Bowie or 1 Laredo Bowie (only 460 grams..!) I fell for the same Trail Master model, solid & light, at the beginning of the year, and when I had enough money to pay for it, the "made in Japan" became "made in Taiwan" in VG10 Steel always made in Seki Japan.. but I definitely preferred to have 1 ColdSteel in San Maï III Steel made in Japan.!! So with luck, I ended up finding 1 ColdSteel knife made in Japan VG1: 1 second-hand "Laredo Bowie" from the past century (1990..), the model with its leather sheath and brass rivets, with its guard and part of the pommel also in brass. Its "rat tail" system, which makes this Bowie knife lighter (knife from the French word "canif" / "k"nif" in French ;-), makes it very easy to handle, fast and precise in cutting movements etc., in background 1 very good combat knife (presence of the guard..), but less practical for "Bush Craft"..! For the handle, coffin-shaped and made of hard "G10" resin, I also rolled up 1 "stapp'in" camo strip, which improves its "grip" and protects it. Since purchasing a real Bowie, ColdSteel, very solid, I do not regret it, for 2 months, I have had the pleasure of being the owner of 1 Bowie Knife ColdSteel.. That' s all folk ;-) , Hi from France . Bonjour et merci pour cette Video sur Le Trail Master VG1 from Japan ..! Envisageant l' achat d' un couteau de chasse , solide et durable , j' ai fait des recherches sur différents couteaux et marques de couteaux , mes choix m' ont amenés à choisir 1 couteau Cold Steel , soit 1 Trail Master ou 1 Natchez Bowie ou 1 Laredo Bowie ( seulement 460 grammes ..! ) J' avais craqué pour le même modèle Trail Master , solide & léger , en ce début d' année , et quand j' avais assez d' argent pour me le payer , le " made in Japan " , est devenu " made in Taïwan " en Acier VG10 toujours fabriqué à Seki Japan .. mais je préférai impérativement avoir 1 ColdSteel en Acier San Maï III made in Japan .!! Alors avec la chance , j' ai fini par trouver 1 couteau ColdSteel made in Japan VG1 : 1 " Laredo Bowie " d" occasion du Siècle passé ( 1990 .. ) , le modèle avec son étui en cuir et rivets en laiton , avec sa garde et une partie du pommeau aussi en laiton .. Son système " queue de rat " , qui allège ce Bowie knife ( knife from the french word " canif " / " k "nif " en Français ;-) , le rend très maniable , rapide et précis dans les mouvements de coupe etc , en fond 1 très bon couteau de combat ( présence de la garde .. ) , mais moins pratique pour le " Bush Craft " ..! Pour le manche , en forme de cercueil et en résine dure " G10 ", j' ai aussi enroulé 1 bande camo " stapp' in " , qui améliore son " gripp " et le protège .. Depuis l' achat d' un vrai Bowie , ColdSteel , bien solide , je ne le regrette pas , depuis 2 Mois , j' ai ce plaisir d' être propriétaire d' 1 Bowie Knife ColdSteel .. Et voilà ;-) .. Bien Cordialement ..! David .

A "U.S. Soldier" has a "Song" and goes to "Training". A "U.S. Marine" has a "Hymn" and goes to "Camp". Enough said.

SORRY FOR YOUR AILMENT BRO BUT PEOPLE DONT NEED TO HEAR YOUR PROBLEMS,,,WE ALL GOT THEM

Lots of bro shout out....lovely 🙏

Bu güne kadar benimde sahip olduğum EN GÜZEL bıçak, fakat kemere dik ve yatay bağlama sistemini bilmiyom. Bu konu ile ilgili bir bilgi alamıyorum. 🤔🤔

I want this knife despite the China and China steel. Is it worth it?

You're a great man. Where I hail from carrying anything is pretty much acceptable. I drive around with my pistols and my ar next to me. We can't legally drive with long guns loaded but I have 6 mags next to it just in case. I always have quite a bit of extra mags. I do appreciate your service. Extra mags and backup firearms are a must for me as well as last ditch blades that i don't use they are purely for defense as well as my edc users. I'm 6"3 and 180 so not too noticeable. I'm always very aware of my surroundings but not too concerned about weather or not people know I'm prepared to protect myself and my family if need be and i know my presence has been a deterrent in many situations. When I was younger and doing what was necessary I certainly wasn't out to hurt the innocent but I blended back then. I dressed clean and smart. I looked like a square and walked like I didn't have a care in the world. It was excellent camouflage. I'd wave to police with a smile on my face and they waved back so you're right. The way you carry yourself matters. Nobody knew what I had back then and what I was doing except the people who were in my circle. I'm not about cop calling. I never have and never will even when I have been assaulted, robbed or whatever. I was raised to take care of my own problems and was a street kid and I'll always follow that code. I knew pretty much everyone who you needed to know anyway and was friendly with the sharks so I didn't have problems in my own neighborhood anyway. I did see some people who were dumb enough to call cops pay with their lives so I do advise against it. Now luckily I'm fortunate enough to live in the sticks where it's safe and boring and my family will never have to struggle. If I didn't follow the rules of my city and do what was necessary that would not have been the case. I have no ill will towards anyone but the cop calling kind aren't the kind I associate with so considering my current environment I'm pretty much a loner but that's okay. I have my family and my little one is being raised to handle her own problems or come to me if she can't. Again nothing happens where we live so I don't think that would be an issue. Happy new year again. Stay safe and vigilant.

Man i feel like I haven't seen you in a year! I was unaware of what has been going on. I hope for a full recovery. These were great tips! I also carry owb. Usually a glock17. I'm not too worried about people noticing but i do have a concealed carry jacket if I'm in a place where its less acceptable to be carrying. It's easy to throw a few small pistols and a bunch of mags in there. I used have my 3 mag pouch on my belt for my primary as well and a secondary iwb in case my primary jams or malfunctions. I rotate my secondary frequently but lately it's been a smith and wesson m&p2.0 compact .40. I'm loving it and have had plenty of range time with it so when need be it's my primary if complete concealment is necessary in that case my secondary will either be my smith and wesson .38 airweight snubby or my ruger lcr 9mm. Love em both and shoot em both frequently so im pretty confident in my carry. I do enjoy full size revolvers and 1911s but generally those are for hiking and home. Places where i don't find higher capacity to be likely needed. I hope this new year is a great one for you and brings good fortune to you and yours. It's great to see you.

Merry christmas brother!

Wyatt's custom is really nice. Merry Christmas brother.

Don’t mean for this to sound ridiculous but my uncle recently gifted me this blade broken and it won’t close… do you mind making a video disassembling and reassembling this blade?

Had one awhile back good blade only con is the sheath

What’s the HM stand for ?

New subscriber. Like your style.

Nice to meet you!! Lol😂😂

I like that you also said it would make a good fighting knife and moves well in the hand. 😊 I've seen all type of testing with that blade ,but and as a Survival Implement it lives up to it's name. Thanks Charles 😄

I must add this series to my collection. Awesome blade my friend

My second second generation is a full quarter inch thick it Mus be luck of the draw my first one was just a millimetre shy my Son Nathan couldn't wait to inherit it I gave it to him because he bought me a new rear white wall tire for my Evo Heritage I bought the front one because it needed a new tire and the back could wait a season but because he wanted me to have matching tires the rear was black he spent $200 and bought me a new one so I let him have my survivalist and it took me about 6 months to save up and get another one and its a full 1/4 inch his isn't . lol so I guess it turned out good for me new white walls on my Harley ...

It supose to be double edged, why only one edge

Excellent Carrie brother I am digging it

GOOD AFTERNOON CHUCK 😊

Man that's an awsome blade
