This has quickly become one of my favorites. It stays in my pocket at all times

[@BigRedEDC]

Right on Zeb! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@03_austindrake88]

That's a damn nice gift. Would love to have friends like that. Especially because all of my knife collection was just stolen last week.

[@BigRedEDC]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that!!

[@onemorenoshit]

My favorite ColdSteel, tough as hell and grippy for real work. The more it breaks in the better it gets

[@BigRedEDC]

Its a good one for sure!! Thank you for watching!!

I have a Mini Lawman. It didn't cost me very much. I got to jones-ing for a beat-up, vintage-looking trash knife the other day, and I took that little Mini out to the garage, got a file, and went to work on that sucker (everything BUT the blade edge). It looked like it had been run over by a locomotive and stomped on in a gravel parking lot by King Kong. In short, wonderful wonderful looking "relic-ed" small folding pocket knife that works great and cuts like a mink. Also still makes the beautiful "clack" noise that most mid-lock knives make when you pry them open. Love it. I'm looking for a full-size cheap Lawman to do the same thing to. It was a blast after spending too much scratch on a bunch of nicer folders this year.

[@BigRedEDC]

Very cool eqlzr2!!! Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!!

[@Snowzeus]

Looks like it’s a user knife!! No shelf required. 😁🇺🇸

[@BigRedEDC]

Its definitely a user!! Thanks for watching!!!

Very cool Pocketank! American Lawman 🎶😄

[@BigRedEDC]

LOL...thanks for watching Randy!!!

[@GromMolotok]

That's a no-nonsense no-frills knife for sure. Great choice for review.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks Grom and thanks for watching!!

[@badmunkyedc1]

Great worker! Great blade and handle, great lock! Solid knife and awesome that it was given to you by an actual lawman!

[@BigRedEDC]

Yeah...that makes it pretty cool in my eyes!! Thanks brother!!

great video Jb ya can't beat that tri-ad lock

[@BigRedEDC]

Probably one of, if not the strongest lock out there! Thanks for watching!!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

Wow, what a nice gift! Some consider the AmLaw to be one of the best all-purpose knives ever and now you have one. Good work Jody, thanks for the video.

[@BigRedEDC]

I can understand why it is so popular! Thanks for watching Jay!

[@rhino5419]

Hello. Don't have any cold steels but they do look good. I Like the scout that Jersey knife guy showed. All the best.

[@BigRedEDC]

Cold Steel makes a pretty solid knife RHINO!! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@hilltopknivesandgear8103]

💯 1 of the best cold steel knives imho!! Was badass to see that smoking recon 1 tanto make an appearance!!! Awesome gift! Awesome review!!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks brother!! Its a worker for sure!!

[@mildmannerededc]

Great vid JB! I've been tempted by that knife for a while!! Agree, Cold Steel just makes safe, solid knives and they come out the box screamin' sharp.

[@BigRedEDC]

Absolutely brother!! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@addicted2knives171]

Oh Heck Yes . Now I am going to signing that song All Day . I actually dont have this one. But it is on my list. Thanks for Showing that is a Awesome .

[@BigRedEDC]

LOL...right on Chad! I do like it a lot! Thanks for watching!!

[@earlyx1225]

I got one when they were first made with a CTS XHP blade. It’s one of the best tools I have. God bless 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

I think the XHP version is the more popular of the 2 Kerry! Thanks for watching!!

I love my cold steel knives......... the next one is the SR1 lightweight has to be in the collection thanks JB

[@BigRedEDC]

Awesome Pete! Thanks for watching!

[@scottf.3808]

I always dig the blacked out knives for some reason....Nice and hefty as dig it and thanks for the share....Good stuff....

[@BigRedEDC]

It's not afraid to go to work at all! Thanks Scott!!

[@mt_baldwin]

Another good example of why reviewers shouldn't shy away from old knives. They made a few changes from the XHP version, the heel of the blade is totally different and the XHP version has a much deeper hollow grind, that one you got looks like a flat grind. The coating doesn't look as nice either, the old cold steel models with xhp have a coating I've never seen elsewhere, it shines up and looks like it's glass, hard to explain if you haven't seen it up close. Glad I got all the XHP models while I could.

[@BigRedEDC]

Sounds like the XHP version is the more popular of the two! I am digging this one quite a bit! Thanks for watching!!

[@natek1993]

One of my favorite looking knives. Really want to get one. It looks perfect for the hand.

[@BigRedEDC]

Right on Nate! Thanks for watching!!

[@cocabandi]

Though not a big fan of Cold Sterl knives, I've always liked the Americwn Lawman. I think it a great knife. Enjoyed the revuew. Thanks, Red.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you very much Sergio and thanks again for watching!!

[@JohnAmes]

Big thumbs up my friend 👍👍

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you John!!

[@Jocksknife]

Never been a fan of Coldsteel folders... But it seems the longer I don't own one the more I feel I need one. "American Lawman 🎶" Great review buddy 👍👊

[@BigRedEDC]

They are very solid and reliable knives!! Thanks for watching!

[@davidkurle5418]

I got my lawman in the mail the same day you posted the video unboxing yours! What a fantastic workhorse of a knife. Thanks for your thoughts on it.

[@BigRedEDC]

Awesome David. Gald you are enjoying it as well! Thanks for watching!!

Awesome Rodney! Thank you very much and thanks for watching!

I like the American Lawman, a real no nonsense looking knife, so far haven't found one at the right price/shipping combination.

[@BigRedEDC]

Right on chris! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@bremertonwatch4485]

Great review, Pocket Tank is the man!!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks brother! He is a awesome dude for sure!!

[@rickkerans8485]

That would be a good one to carry along with my Code4 or the AD10. An American Lawman from an American Lawman doesn't get much better than that.

[@BigRedEDC]

Those would be great pairings Rick! Yeah I thought that was pretty cool! Thank you for watching my friend!!

[@CoffeyOutdoors]

Nice knife. Nice review

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you very much!!

[@cself55]

I like that knife! I don't own any Cold Steel knives yet.

Great gift pal, I've yet to hold one but some day. Enjoy my friend. Atb paddy 👍😃☘️

[@BigRedEDC]

It is indeed Paddy! Thank you very much!

[@johnscarborough4746]

I own the XHP version of this and for me it's nearly a perfect knife in terms of fitting in my hand. Cold Steel has a lot of great designs but I don't see any of them beating out the American Lawman in my collection.

[@BigRedEDC]

That's awesome John! Glad to hear you like it so much!! Thanks for watching!!

[@phillipnunya6793]

I think the Code 4 is better for EDC, but not as good if you know you will be using it hard a lot because of its smooth handle.

[@Mrtojo]

That looks very much like something I might like!

[@BigRedEDC]

I think you might as well TOJO! Thanks for watching!!

[@marshalllaw123]

Super cool!

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching Marshall!!

[@mikehook2835]

That’s awesome I carry a Recon 1 Tanto. And cool story on the Knife.

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching Mike! Recon 1 is a great knife as well!

[@jerrymillett3895]

Thanks man. Awesome knife. Sure there’s a bit of advertising on the blade, and not a selection of colors. I think it totally rivals the PM2. Just as, if not more of a slicer, about the same pocket profile(only more skinny) and $40 less for what i think is a better steel. Tough call. Thanks again, enjoy

[@BigRedEDC]

Thank you very much for watching Jerry!!

[@jerrymillett3895]

BigRedEDC Yessir I’ll try to catch you more often.

[@BigRedEDC]

Awesome!!

[@Aries-4Lyfe]

it wont disappoint you. the bugout seems to b a fav now with everybody but if you were going to do some serious work, man the lawman is a beast. being able to choke up on her and put that work in and never have to worry about the lock failing. bugout to thin its like a pencil, almost a gentleman's knife. definitely would turn heads when you whip it out because of its aggressive look. worth every $100

[@kevink.2719]

Another awesome looking knife 👍

[@BigRedEDC]

Thanks for watching Kevin!

[@conductorcammon]

Yeah I still need to pick up one of these. Something always trumps it when it's new knife time though. Like both my CS AK47s!

@@BigRedEDC just some cool knives to review got to wait for my grail knife to be back in stock here

[@BigRedEDC]

Right on!!

[@phillipnunya6793]

Check out the Code 4 if you haven't already. I think it is better as an EDC knife for most people compared to the American Lawman because of the smooth handles. It makes it much less annoying to pull out and put away, and is much easier to clean.

[@BigRedEDC]

Have a Code 4 as well and I do prefer to carry the American Lawman. Thanks for watching!!

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Looks comparable to the Spyderco Shaman in size and carry.

[@BigRedEDC]

I think its pretty close Rusty. I dont have a Shaman to do a direct comparison. Thanks for watching!!

[@user-lr2rd7gb9w]

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

[@BigRedEDC]

I would choose the American Lawman.

[@monkeyfaceII]

American lawman squared

[@BigRedEDC]

Yes indeed!! Thanks Carlos!!

[@Herne0011]

I've got a love hate relationship with Cold Steel. When they tried to release a premium series in like 2010 and it fell apart they did right by me and made sure I got something as an apology for the line not going ahead (despite pre order). Their new steels are good and the triad lock IS insanely strong. But there's one problem. Sometimes their designs look like a bag of dicks (sorry for my french). The lawman is one of their cleanest designs to be honest. I trust their locks and heat treat, fit and finish has improved MASSIVELY over the last 10 years or so but yeah I am still so conflicted. Never have I been so on the fence with a knife company. I guess they have "kept it real" compared to say Spyderco...

[@BigRedEDC]

I can see where that could be difficult to overcome! Thank you very much for watching!!

[@TripleEEDC]

Why don’t I already own this knife? How don’t I already own this knife?

[@BigRedEDC]

I dont know man! Took me a while to get my hands on one!
