Cold steel is the best knives company out there...They re bold and unapologetic ! Very American 💯💪🇺🇲🦅

[@theARcritter]

I’m loving this series, it’s a great format for discussing all these Cold Steel classics on KZbin.

[@ns987]

When the Japanese occupied China in the late 1930s, the resistance was often not armed with firearms. The soldiers had 2 grenades per fighter and a Chinese war sword. The officer could have a Chinese replica of the Mauser pistol. That's how they stormed the trenches. It's hard to believe! This is one of the last fighting swords in the world. The basic idea is to counter a bolt-action rifle with a bayonet. When I see such a sword, I definitely think of Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, but not films about kung fu and the Middle Ages.

[@bapro1715]

Historically absolut correct!👍

[@LKH9Channel]

Yes, I've seen photos of them carrying these...chops thru cheap katanas and break them in half. When I look at this, I see ancient convicts kneeling and ready to be beheaded ..

[@RevBob]

One of history‘s most brutal tools, and always one of my favorites!

[@Drakonaut]

My brother loved and used his War Sword Machete till he gave it away to a friend. Excellent weapon and still a top contender for my favorites.

[@LKH9Channel]

Better known as Chinese Broadsword, called "DaDao" in Chinese language, translated as Big Knife! Lynn Thompson is right, in WW2, this thing were widely used by Chinese soldiers. They fought Japanese soldiers wielding Katana in duels, they just smash thru and break their cheap katanas in half, no match! It's also an executioner tool in ancient times for beheading convicts.

[@thomasraystratton1]

I have been carrying cold still since 1986 when I was in 10th Mountain Infantry Commandos! Love Cold Steel and put my life in their hands!!

[@asmith7876]

I got one for Christmas about 14 years ago, it's a prized possession. Definitely falling in love with these....new videos. Please continue!

[@Gman1024]

I've looked for that war sword a few times, but can't find it in stock, absolutely beastly looking. Love seeing it every time.

[@mtrooper84]

Same. When i can find it, its being sold for double what they retail it for.

[@keganwallace8753]

Lynn Thompson has always been my favorite knife designer/ reviewer. Cold Steel videos have sold me a few knives over the years. GI Tanto is an absolute beast! Kobun makes a killer neck knife option. Hold Out 3" is an all time favorite of mine. Kudu is just plain cool 😎. Love my Cold Steel knives and have many more purchases planned for the future.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

I like all my Cold Steel knives. Just picked up the Drop Forged Boot Knife and The Wasp. Liked, Shared, Commented

[@OperatorRazor]

I love seeing you guy putting this series up. it really helps me put blades on my "buy it now" list.

[@meltorme-ntor2933]

Beautiful sword. Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for showcasing it!

[@MrVato650]

Man cold steel has really upped their game recently, I can’t wait to see what they come out with.

[@angelheart7643]

Upped their game? lmao! Have you seen GSMs 2022 lineup with only 3-4 interesting products? LT Spartan S35VN, LT Leatherneck Bowie, Drifter G10 S35VN and AD 10 Tanto S35VN. The Chinese War Sword and the eventually now disc. Chinese War Sword Machete are no new products ! Lynn designed them with his old team some years ago...

[@oxman1800]

Love seeing the man explain the purpose of these awesome edged weapons

[@tacticaltavern]

Agreed! Its just the best 😂👌🏼🔪

[@hakumoru]

It’s crazy how you guys are part of my childhood! All the gore from the tests and everything…always loved it hahaha

[@beecheek7424]

Respectfully, “as close to a light saber!”This sword has always been my favorite. I would like to own and polish this-practice cutting with this. The artwork on the scabbard leather is very pleasant for display.

[@Diane19951]

My husband use to have an old glass sword , Love watching your videos and being part of the knife community. Thank you

[@angelheart7643]

I can't believe Lynn sold Never Unarmed to GSM as well. Sooooo shocking !!!

[@santostorres440]

I have always been a great fan of anything Cold Steel looking forward to seeing more from their KZbin channel.

[@elijahlovejoy1717]

The Chinese War Sword being compared to a lightsaber is something I’ve never considered. If I ever get one, I’m anodizing the blade purple and will study the force.

[@doejon9424]

The new owners are desperate for sales. It's crazy. Now they are paying Lynn for some sales pitch action.

[@doejon9424]

@Your Wife's Boyfriend Nah. Don't be fooled. And stop lieing to yourself. It was the price. That gas station knife price, with that premium knife quality. Lynn is a humble - babbling idiot, who struggles to finish what he said in the first place. It wasn't his "marketing style". It was his quality knife to price ratio. And now Cold Steel is charging more than ever for their foreign made knives. Lynn kept it in perspective. This used to be $160ish. New Cold Steel is pushing $250 for this same 1095 sword. They are ridiculous. Cold Steel is no more a "big premium - budget friendly" company. They expect ultra premium prices for the same overseas manufacturing that Lynn provided. At that point it's better to buy something else.

[@elijahlovejoy1717]

@Doe Jon you’re not entirely wrong, they definitely have been cranking up their prices on their newer releases. Personally speaking though, I haven’t seen any price or quality change with their older products. I do buy through Amazon, which may explain the lack of changing prices though. But I recently picked up a recon 1 spear point for about $90 on Amazon and it’s got the new logo and still has amazing fit and finish.

[@doejon9424]

@@elijahlovejoy1717 They will continue to raise the price. They just bought a company & have profits to be made. Amazon is pretty much a secondary party vendor so that doesn't even count. I've got great deals on rare/new/ discontinued knives through Amazon. That doesn't reflect where CS is going with prices though.

[@elijahlovejoy1717]

@Doe Jon Yeah for sure, good point to be made there. They will most likely continue to raise prices as time goes on. Personally I still want the company to succeed, but not with this new Walmart blister pack mentality. I personally refuse to buy anything from the 2022 lineup. At this point two things can happen with this company, they’ll see sales drop on their new releases and hopefully go back to making the classic cold steel fan favorite products. Or more likely they’ll end up continuing down the blister pack rabbit hole, which will suck but is what happens in situations like these. At the end of the day, time will tell.

[@kevingonzalez9855]

I absolutely love cold steel knives! I am looking forward to purchase more this year! Great stuff Cold Steel! 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@genuinelyconcerned3504]

Would love to see an 1897 British infantry sword or the return of the Austrian saber please lynn. Cmon man the world needs you..

[@fmjmanarroyo1342]

People make jokes of Cold Steel for the videos, but I find them refreshingly FUN. Its both self aware and serious.

[@Cory14Tina02]

Oh HELL yeah! That thing is AWESOME! I would LOVE to have that as one of my first large pieces in my collection.

[@zareklocey1707]

I love all of y’all’s machete style swords and use them all the time for all kinds of different things. I have chopped a 16 inch cedar tree down and split it up for firewood easily with the Chinese broad sword machete took maybe an hour from the time I found the tree till I had a fire started from it using that sword

[@allenng2471]

Yes, the Cold Steel Dadao war sword is very sharp and very well balanced. I have 12 different dadaos, including some very authentic types, but the Cold Steel Dadao is my go to sword in case the world goes into apocalyptic scenario. Good Work, Lynn Thompson.

[@avruvimtu2204]

Can you fence with it yourself? I mean it has some Chinese martial art forms where you can use it, it was used in the army but still it is a glorified butcher knife. Kinda. It is a cutting weapon, the good thing is that it's blade is so wide from blade to the back of the sword that it can be also used to parry greatly stabs and cuts lol Katana doesn't have that.

[@allenng2471]

Avru Vimtu. Yes, I've been practicing fencing with the Dadao for over 12 years. It is very effective but must have good body dynamics to use effectively. I've been able to vvery cleaning severe a wild hogs head with one swing so it is absolutely powerful. Yes, it will continue to be my apocalyptic blade for all reasons.

[@catalinaurica107]

I would love the tanto, the Chinese wars word, and of course the Great War Sword, that, that is a beauty.

[@silvertreeindustries6298]

Great video and information. I had no clue about the history of this sword. I love to see that Cold Steel is single-handedly keeping the 1” Manila rope industry alive.

[@Maxcannon1991]

I’ve always wanted a cold steel sword- especially the Chinese war sword. Keep up the good work! And Stickman- remember to tell GSM the whole reason everyone loves Cold Steel is because of hard use weapons, XL folders and stuff that every kid wanted but wasn’t allowed to have haha

[@cloudnine8842]

They contacted me as they said. What a wonderful group of people/family. Looking forward to more content and what's to come... New owners are awesome 👍 couldn't be any better ...

[@tacticaltavern]

You guys are crushing these videos Keep them up! Also, congrats to the winners on the last GAW!

[@toronlister1222]

I always wanted this knife. Have bought from Cold steel for many years. And I even bought the cheap ones to talk about those years before

[@NickA7062]

Absolutely love this sword been wanting it since the first time I saw it not the easiest to come by wish I can have it in my collection looks like a beast

[@Dan-cv6gc]

Got my first Cold steel knife when I was 16 years old now I’m 26 years old still love cold steel products

[@BackToBased]

Y’all should make a double bladed/sided version of the Viking hand axe

[@Bladeshed]

Another strong and deadly piece from cold steel, perfect for trimming in the garden. Keep up the good work Sticky.

[@52BLADE1]

I have been a great fan of COLD STEEL for over 40 years and this WAR SWORD is just another reason why.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

The dadao is powerful, the ram dao is even deadlier. Cold steel should make the ram dao

[@deionbeeldenstormer7498]

Looks like the Chinese War Sword is "OUT OF STOCK" on the Cold Steel website. Any idea when they are due back in stock? (Would be cool to see a "Notify me when back in stock" button on the website.) Also, would be beyond awesome to see the blacked out MAA Chinese War Sword come back!!!

[@Sk8RJOSH94]

Just like every thing else damn near

[@rrh1stryker007]

Very cool especially with the deadly Hot lady wielding the War Sword!

[@DBaumTexas]

Cold Steel crafts deadly instruments. They produce a wide variety of some of the finest edged weapons available.

[@badmoon7549]

One thing about it. All these Cold Steel guys look like me. They eat very well.

[@AniWilhelm95]

Shared! And liked . You guys are awesome, every blade is a killer! Nothing is sharper and nothing is more deadly than A Cold Steel Blade! I trust my life with a Cold Steel and you Should too!

[@tacticaltavern]

Here here! 🎉🔪

[@4850937]

Thanks for the history. I liked your Leatherneck test video for 4116 steel. You should do one for D2 steel.

[@ColossalSwordFormAndTechnique]

As powerful as the condor viking machete. One of my favorite tree choppers

[@yongkim777]

I own a cold steal combat knife. I bought it over another brand because my friends broke their blades. Great Quality

[@jonbenjaminsharp3014]

Love Cold Steel and all of their blades and swords!!!

[@myrrdan]

Love your recreations. Really nicely done.

[@michaelmurphy3273]

I just received the cold seal voyager as a present and I have to tell you there is nothing I’ve ever owned that was this tough this high quality I would love one of these Chinese war swords

[@GuardianWolf85]

This is a wicked weapon. Beautiful and functional.

[@gonefishingstudios]

That looks like a military Dadao, awesome blade. Id love to see more chinese weapons from cold steel, especially the Baguadao and maybe an actual full length kwandao those would beastly! Liked and shared of course ( I want that tanto!)

[@williamhagermanii9638]

Awesome weaponry! Would love to add this sword to my collection!

[@CoyoteKin]

That tanto looks beautiful. Thanks for continuing with these videos. :)

[@bauxi11]

I live this series. Can’t wait that you show us your news for 2022. Would be sensational if your giveaway goes to Austria.

[@Codevil.]

I own probably 25 Cold Steel products, I literally love every one of them

[@cavtroopermunoz]

Lookout Stick, she's got the full swing going. Yesh, don't mess with T.

[@davidcyr9891]

Always miss this when it's available. Even the machete is ALWAYS sold out!

[@mrakthem5616]

The first company I've ever bought from. They have amazing quality.

[@allenalsop6032]

As a US Marine, I prefer Cold Steel for endurance and edge holding ability. When it's on the line, give me Cold Steel.

[@martyreeder3797]

As a Kung fu teacher, practitioner, enthusiast, I can assure you I want one of these, or maybe a dozen. It is so hard to find good, well made weapons like this. I love what cold steel has done here. Please send me one and I will make a video of me doing forms and moving with this baby! Hint hint

[@georgesulea]

Now that is a WEAPON! I love Cold Steel products, and I go out of my way to buy quality. Solid and Tough stuff that's worth every penny.

[@labatallacultural1]

Luke is confusing Pudao (infantry) with Kwan Dao (mainly fantasy, exhibition, cavalry officer weapon). Pudao is a version of it. The most widespread design both geographically and historically was the zhangmadao, Wich translates exactly to horse saber.

[@Man-jf6lz]

I still advocate for a Batman reboot with Lynn as batman and Robert Vaughn as Robin.

[@chuckgardineer8848]

Great video, love this company’s commitment to quality and being bad ass

[@geraldsanders3522]

They ALWAYS have FANTASTIC BLADES!!

[@keithbergen9821]

Love the history lesson on an awesome weapon for todays warrior and patriot.

[@jasonn9086]

Ancient warfare had to be terrifying on a very personal level.

[@kmiller742000]

Now, THAT is a knife you can take to a gunfight!

[@kenmarapese9085]

I seen that sword with the full length handle but didn't realize until now it was for taking down horses!

[@IDrawToothpicks]

Bf needs this. It'll bring his spirits up since he has a cold. I'll be a hero I get him this 😭

[@TheRausing1]

I love lynn talking about the “practicality” and “deadliness” of this Chinese war sword as if anyone in existence will ever have to actually use this sword in combat in 2022. These are all just toys for boys to play with, with no practical use whatsoever, whether you’re willing to admit it or not.

[@Ve-suvius]

I read an account where the resident of the house cut the hand off a burglar. The hand that held the pistol was still in that hand when it was on the ground. Imagine what would happen if that guy used this Chinese War sword . Maybe he would still at the arm/hand , as the decent person that he was. But mostly it's for fun yes, these swords . I like the CS Drop Forged Wasp. Not very practical. But still a great stabber and tough one also. Many knives and swords are mainly for that. Pleasure. Hobby. Which is fine.

[@choochmoed]

I’ve owned a lot of cold steel products love them all

[@larrychappell3378]

This is one of the meanest swords I have ever seen. I have always liked the Katana, but the Chinese war sword may be my favorite now

[@timmcafee283]

On the next episode of Cold Steel Deadliest Weapons see the 2022 China made line of gentleman's knives cut through hot butter and then learn to dull your sharpest knives with the new line of Cold steel sharpeners (knife wreckers). Great job Stickman on the 2022 lineup!

[@K_ramazof]

I love Cold Steel knives, this ones looks fine, but older ones are incredibles

[@patrickdullea6991]

Cold Steel...I keep them handy and on my person when ever I can.

[@bladedbrothers6442]

I did it Stick Man . My dreams are in your hands!

[@michaelsojka3265]

I’m glad I found your videos. Very interesting. Hope to buy something from y’all soon

[@johnc.6118]

Great video,the War Sword is a BEAUTIFUL BEAST,I ,really dig the way it seems to handle so flawlessly! Subscribed,liked & shared👍🏻🤠

[@dansfishntales]

This would make a good machete. I'm a one-man crew "trail tamer" for conservation department, and there is a constant battle of maintaining trails from invasive species such as honeysuckle, autumn olive, as well as downed tree and other such obstructions.

[@raymondknight5298]

My brother gave me a smaller one of these went he was deployed back in 2003, I bet that big one would look nice with it.

[@fredhume06]

This is cool. I need more tomahawks, but my older son would love this

[@N0bodySpecial]

Cool sword, cold steel makes some the best blades. Got my first Cold Steel knife (SRK Carbon V) 30 years ago and it is still a great knife.

[@timeasley5345]

Cool looking blade. It's nice to have a sheath that holds a blade that long low enough to be out of the way. Pick me for the free Leatherneck Tanto!

[@samc3227]

I’m happy to say I have a collection of walking sticks canes extremely happy get compliments on them all the time can’t wait to add a couple swords to my collection

[@Erebus.666.]

Considering buying one of these at the mo. Ex demo model, almost half price.. Nice.

[@Draconior87]

These weapons are amazing. And they crafters are too. But these guys look all crazy imho.

[@mykokriz]

Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these awesome knives and may God bless y'all!

[@MB-wp2px]

Great weapon, but has been out of stock on CS and every blade retailer for months.

[@floridaarnis]

Interesting sword. Never really took it serious, I’ll have to check it out now

[@TheWolfgangfritz]

As of Jan. 2022 it's still out of stock! I'd buy it if it was available!

[@Dunkernotdunder]

These knives are dangerously good and awesome

[@tomweingart2337]

Cold Steel products are awesome and I'm going to be getting some more real soon ‼️ Thanks for a chance in your giveaway and I'm in 👍

[@DigitalMage]

Wicked looking blade. I would not want to be on the wrong side of that.

[@danielm.6894]

Cold Steel always high quality and worth every penny spent.

[@justingonzales1323]

I love knives, swords, axes, and war hammers I've been training for the last 23 years. Also I would buy the lightsaber before Lynn😎

[@anthonymorelli67]

I love deadly steel,wow how pretty and the girl ain't bad looking either.

[@anthonymorelli67]

Don't forget to clean and oil your blade after all that chop choppy chopping yeah!?

[@asmith7876]

I'm definitely falling in love with her, omg...

[@themoltencore6551]

So... When are these going to be made available again? There's a lot of us that have been looking for one for a very long time and still, to no avail. Especially in Australia. Pull your fingers out Cold Steel. The buyers want to buy already.
