COLD STEEL AMERICAN LAWMAN REVIEW GOOD & BAD

[@iamtherealjon]

I have had my american lawman for about 4ish years now and it has been amazing. Easy to sharpen, and the lock hasn’t failed me yet. Nothing but good things from the knife. The lock can be stiff so I don’t recommend handing it to someone who doesn’t know knives. I can’t even count the amount of times someone had borrowed my knife and they bring it back to me saying “I can’t close it”, but it isn’t an issue for me so I don’t mind. Mine is all beat up so the paint has chipped on the blade, and I personally love the look. It holds its battle scars and doesn’t effect functionality at all

[@NeevesKnives]

Ya gotta love a knife that looks well loved

[@johnruiz6743]

Both of mine were stiff at first because they were both new, but now after use they open easily. It's an easy carry for a bigger knife due to how slim they are.

[@Apex_grind562]

I am into popular USA productions from crk to protech. But damn, do I love a tri ad lock. And I love the ugly clip because I have children and dont always want an easy opening blade. I have to thank Lynn Thompson for getting me involved and hooked in the 90s with his crazy commercials.

[@johnnyboy1586]

I like the slightly wore look of the blade coating,also love carbon blades when they get that patina😉

[@johnruiz6743]

My favorite Cold Steel EDC folder! Have a couple, one in CTS-XHP and one in S35VN! Also have an older mini- Lawman with an AUS-8 blade.

[@rustycleaver8231]

I’ve carried an American Lawman at work for about 6 months and is held up well. The slim profile and light weight make it very comfortable in the pocket. I did add a short paracord lanyard though, which makes it a bit easier to draw. I never thought about the choil area of the handle interfering with the opening, but, now that you’ve pointed it out I’m seriously considering taking some material off there.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah the owner of this one said hes probably going to, wich would be very easy and it could only benifit, and a little bit would go a far way and make a huge difference

[@moderntreasure1828]

Late to the party but nice video! Just got 2 of them off Amazon for 78 bucks each and they are sweet knives honestly do not believe you can buy a better knife for that price. I have a buddy that is a machinist and he is going to make dents on the locks for me

[@davidwatson3035]

Excellent review Sir. I've mine a month and I really like it. There's a great deal to like with this knife. I started off with a loose pivot trying to make it flickable. However, I think it benefits from having a tight pivot and as you say enjoying the slow roll.

[@NeevesKnives]

Itvis a great knife and i for one love a good slow roller from time to time

[@slidindirrrty4944]

Use a tiny bit of loctite mine had a loose pivot also haven’t had any issues with it since

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

This seems to be a really awesome edc option from cold steel. Great review 👍

[@NeevesKnives]

Definitely

[@damienhughes7228]

“Matte” is the word you were looking for. A matte finish. Great review. I’ll admit at first I didn’t watch many of your videos but youve won me over. I watch most of them now. Good stuff brotha.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yes thank you, thats the exact word i was looking for, and thank you i really appreciate that

[@earlpitsch2149]

My favorite knife ever, had a tenacious but tired of sharpening it all the time. Sometime may try a code 4 for the better blade configuration, but their quality and price are unbeatable in my opinion.

[@timbo4374]

Yes, the coating has dulled from use. It has been used heavily, and in fact, that is the knife Outpost76 used to do the head to head with his Lawman in CTS-XHP, so it cut a shit ton of cardboard. Plus, I have used it a lot. It's one of my more carried knives.It's well broken in, lol. That edge looks great btw.. You did fine brother.I'm thinking of grinding down that big nub in the handle up by the choil a little bit. I think if it was a little shorter it would make it more comfortable both in use and in the opening action. I need a new Dremel before I can do it though. I burned my old one out so gotta buy a new one.

[@NeevesKnives]

Wow you musta put that dremel to work, and i think that is such a great idea, the knife would be so much more badass, with that tiny detail changed a little and it wouldnt take much at all

[@brandonwagner9329]

I feel they designed it to double as a guard. I own every generation of the lawman except a flat grind xhp. I have many many nice knives and the previous generation with the aus 8 steel and thicker handle is a dream in hand. The newer thinner versions are great also and more convienient to carry. The Lawman is my measuring stick if I’m considering a large size folder. Like would I actually carry x knife over one of my lawmans?

[@NeevesKnives]

@@brandonwagner9329 wow i didnt even know they had been out that long or that they once had a thicker version

[@timbo4374]

@@NeevesKnives it wasn't a real Dremel, but one of the cheap knock offs. Lesson learned..you get what you pay for. I don't think I'd remove it completely, just knock it back a bit and round it off some so it isn't as pointy.

[@jocemarine6247]

I don't have the American Lawman. But I bought my first Cold steel 2 weaks ago. The 4 Max Elite. I am smiling every time I take it in my hand. It's insane robust and strong. It's fun to have ultra premium knifes. But if tomorrow will be Apocalypse and I could only bring 1 folding knife, it would be my cold steel by far. Almost as strong as a fixed blade. My only little regret is that if I had to buy it again, it would be the Scout witch almost as perforfing as the Élite 5 time cheaper. 5 time 😱. It's like wine does a 500.00 bootle is 5 times better than 100.00 bootle? Yes probably a little better but not 5 times I am completly satisfied of this beat that I can count on it

[@ibanez7412]

1st cs is a 4max? Wow!

[@jocemarine6247]

@@ibanez7412 yes and soooo happy 👍🏻💪

[@dualsportoutdoors]

I love the American Lawman. It’s like a more heavy duty Bugout

[@NeevesKnives]

Definitely a lot more heavy duty, and its an awesome knife for sure

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Neeves Knives hell yeah. Although let’s not forget the beating the Bugout can take as well. Zach and I both did vile things to Bugouts and they took it

[@NHRebelsthoughts]

So Recon 1 or The Lawman?

[@dualsportoutdoors]

John Belanger AD10

[@NHRebelsthoughts]

@@dualsportoutdoors that's a much more expensive knife

[@Quagmire925]

The little cut out you would like to see on the back lock is called the Boye dent. Its named after the knife maker David Boye. 👍

[@NeevesKnives]

Hey bud thank you, learning something new every day

[@thaknobodi]

Ive owned a few Voyagers, one Code 4 and now a Lawman. All good just different. chamfer the inside of the scales on the Lawman a little.

[@שחרחסקל]

Hi sir, what would you choose for edc. This knife or the buck 110 with s30v?

[@rickkerans8485]

That is one I need to get. Have the Code4, AD1O, 4Max Scout so it is needed to round out that style. So eventually I will have to get one. They do look good what an amazing knife it would be with contoured scales.

[@NeevesKnives]

I heard they used to make them thicker, i never knew that

[@tgonzalez1983]

Idk man. I’m having second thoughts about buying this one. Kinda wanted the ultimate hunter but ordered this on sale

[@Abby_Normal_1969]

It is shameful, but I don't have one in my collection, despite loving the Code4 and AD10. Most of my Cold Steels are fixed blades.

[@_MiMo_]

Lots of cold steel.Hard to pick one they all seem great.

[@teddycaflisch3835]

You guys need to do a full collection update video

[@NeevesKnives]

I know it will be coming soon we have some knives that are out with other people we are wating to get back so we can do one

[@joe_a_photo]

The boye dent is nice for back lock knives

[@kulmax7.5]

Hello, what is the information of the knife in mm cold Steel american lawman and the thickness of the handle?

[@NeevesKnives]

You would have to look that up and translate into mm, i dont have it anymore

[@markpowers349]

That's a beautiful edge

[@worldofedc1737]

My problem is and always has been that CS has the nerve to call this knife “American Lawman” while making it in Taiwan

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i get that, very conflicting

[@LegBuilder]

@@NeevesKnives I like American lawman instead of Taiwanese lawman

[@Nordraw]

how would you compare it to the Recon 1?

[@NeevesKnives]

I actually did a video comparing 4 cold steels, with those two in there, but the recon is much bigger the lawman is more edc friendly sort of say, so i like it better for edc, hard use the recon

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

Matt finish look, 🤝🏾

[@JamesMBC]

The American Lawman in S35VN does have a flat sabre grind, the hollow versions were the AUS-8 and the CTS-XHP versions.

[@NeevesKnives]

Yeah i wish they kept the cts xhp i really like that steel

[@michaelmostardi1327]

No dent!

[@tallica4life81]

She bang, she bang. Lol

[@jimtergliafera2949]

looks skinny compared to other Cold Steels.
