Oooo, that’s badass! More MK3’s will pop up, but haven’t seen these on the secondary yet so I’d say you made an excellent trade 🙌🏼

I really wanted a mk 3, when I got it it didn't make it into the pocket often. Nothing wrong with it, just wasn't getting carried. I wanted the full ti ad10 as soon as I knew it existed

@@chucknunfaceI feel you, my MK3 doesn’t get much pocket time either even though I think it’s a very well built knife. I’ve always wanted an AD10 ever since I got my AD15. Had no idea Cold Steel sold direct but have since signed up for their emails

I snagged one at Blade Show. I had almost forgotten about them becoming available there As soon as I put one in hand I knew I had to buy it. Not too many production knives do that for me these days Congrats and hope it serves you well

Thanks, Dave! I remember you got one. Pretty awesome knife, although I sharpened it last night and it's been ground unevenly, which is a bit of a bummer

I have the raw ti version, and love it. The black coated version wasn't really my thing, but I had one in my cart just because there were less of them made, and I already have 3 of the s35vn G10 models. Last minute, however, right before I pulled the trigger, I checked Midway and found the raw ti version for 250...For that price I could get two! But I only bought one... because I also bought a San Mai Trail Master, and a 3v Recon Scout, which rounded out my collection a bit...Its a month later though, and there are still a few left...hmmm? 😂

@chucknunface4 ай бұрын
When you add up what you get for what it would take to make a full ti ad10 aftermarket, and favor in that you're getting 3v (which I consider an upgrade to s35), the price is fair. You have to like the platform first though

I like that more than the MK3, Taiwan or not. Don’t know if I would personally buy either, but that was a solid trade imo.

1000 raw Ti and 200 coated Ti. I have coated #127 and came with a small scratch onnthe blade and a mark on the handle. Think the coating is PVD but Cold Steel info says PVC. Wish it was DLC tho.
@chucknunface4 ай бұрын
I thought that was a typo...never heard of pvc outside of plumbing
@S4Detroit4 ай бұрын
@chucknunface I'm was thinking that was a typo also. Looks and feels like the original coating that was on my Medford On Belay. The Medford had the PVD and this CS looks and feels the same. I have DLC on both my Kunwu knives and it just let's you see the material underneath. I have been talking with custom service over the defects on my knife. Maybe next time I talk with them I can get an answer on what the coating really is.

@chucknunface yeah I got the 250 only reason I bought it i love my ad10 but for 400 no but for 250 when it's limited and it's a collection piece and if by some chance I needed money I can turn around and sell it for the 400 it's worth doubt I will but still in my eyes it's an investment I have another ad10 to beat up this one is just for the why not factor
@chucknunface3 ай бұрын
@jonenglert5809 heard that. I think 400 is fair value on these considering what you get. There's a mental block people have on spending that much on a Coldsteel, I think. 250 is a no-brainer
