Cold Steel G.I. Tanto unboxing and first impression

[@kurtwilloughby475]

I've had one for years. No complaints...

[@adrianfytr35]

Nice. Have you put it through lots of hard use or just minimal small tasks? Thanks for watching 👍🔪⚔️🗡️!

[@kurtwilloughby475]

@adrianfytr35 Yup. Even hooked it on to my Mossberg Maverick as a bayonet.

[@adrianfytr35]

​@@kurtwilloughby475Aww dangit, I also have a Mossberg Maverick. Guess I have to make this knife a bayonet 😂👍. My wife's gonna have some questions...

[@gregmundo6107]

[@gregmundo6107]

@ i am a fan of tantos i forge somewat with lawnmower blades and the pattern that I follow wall the time is the tanto one, also I got a couple of tantos my self

[@adrianfytr35]

Tantos, specifically American style tantos, are my favorite blade style 👍. It looks very cool in addition to being very useful for certain cutting tasks.

[@johnandrewmarquez]

Love this Knife! New Subs here! 👊

[@adrianfytr35]

It's a badass looking blade that's for sure! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching 👍🔪⚔️🗡️!

Cool knife, but you need more light.

[@adrianfytr35]

Thank you, I appreciate the constructive criticism 👍. I bought a light and am working on utilizing it better. Thanks for watching 👍🔪⚔️🗡️!

I hate to say it but, I'm done with CS, until I see their quality control go back up and see them listen to consumers. Which I don't think will happen. Lynn Thompson should be upset.

[@adrianfytr35]

I totally understand. I'm very late to the party, I've only been buying Cold Steel knives for less than two years. The complaints I've heard and actual proof from videos of their decline in quality is disheartening. I am a martial artist and the main reason I am obsessed with them is because of Lynn Thompsons martial arts background. Their designs fit my personality perfectly lol. I sure hope they stick around but you definitely have a good point. Nothing good ever comes from cutting corners. Thanks for watching 👍🔪⚔️🗡️!

[@rnkmode1876]

@adrianfytr35 ah yeah Cold Steel used to be one of the top knife companies around. Early to mid 2000's they had the best knife line up. Unfortunately most things are going to shit nowadays. It's disheartening. Oh well, other companies can move in and hopefully do well, and not make that same mistake. 🙏🗡💥

[@rnkmode1876]

@adrianfytr35 no worries, if you're going to purchase some of their more popular or classic blades, I highly recommend buying the ones that were made like a handful of years ago, more so than current production for sure.

[@adrianfytr35]

​@@rnkmode1876There's a gun store here where I live, they have about four or five pre-GSM model, including an SRK made with Carbon V! They're just so dang expensive there lol but I'll probably get that SRK eventually 👍.

[@rnkmode1876]

@adrianfytr35 I'm very fortunate to have bought the AUS8A SRK, it's a Badass Durable blade too, I got it in around 2013 🙏🗡💥👍
