I had to re-upload this video because of an error on KZbin’s side. Thanks for the support of my channel.

Sent mine to a custom maker for a full convex, ground swedge for batoning, and reduced top guard, then had a Grizzly Customs sheath made for it. Now its a fantastic blade! Ironically, I'm in AK and this is my to bowie knife for general purpose use. This paired with the TRC magnacut Polehiem makes it a fantastic combo for everything I can think of. In regard to mountain lion defense, I was also in that situation this part March when my buddy and I were stalked during a nighttime coyote hunt in MT. He came into the distressed rabbit call and got within 27 yards. Thought I was going to have to shoot it when it didnt respond to 2 warning shots. Thankfully he decided we were worth the trouble and slid away. I dont know if I would want to fight a big kitty with a knife, but having a knife in that situation would have been better than nothing.

The San Mai Version is my favorite. The convex Grind of it is awesome

For me very important is proper sheath to keep knife during hiking , running , intensive movement . To keep komfortable , no fall out and easy to extract.

A mountain lion is one extremely fast predator. I would walk away...😢

Very nice knife, I've been looking at the Recon Tanto, OSS, and the Marauder for my first CS Fixed Blade, but after watching this I think I might just save up for the 3V Trail Master instead.

There are 2 well documented cases of hunters defending and killing bears they were attacked by using the Buck 110 pocket/belt pouch knife

[@mathewrculbertson]

@@RandoCalrisiann yep!

@mathewrculbertson I own several Cold Steel products. And I agree, I never go out into the wilds without my trailmaster. Started with the SK5 version years ago. Now I've upgraded to the 3V on many knives. Great video, keep it up.
