I have many knives, but I still think Cold Steel knives are my favorites. Thank you!!

[@jimsiress9687]

Outstanding beast of a knife 👍 I bought mine brand new over 12 years ago. Indestructible if used for knife business & some stuff outside of knife business 😉 Awesome ! Glad you have yours now👍

[@jclowe735]

Great review LFD love your knife reviews and all of your content as a whole keep doing what you love and stay classy.

[@t-rex2asail113]

Nice! Thanks for the review Carla - you made my day.

[@archmagosdeciuskronen1501]

I have always wanted a nice Tanto to add to my Home Defense Kit! very nice review, excellent as always!

[@markgoode7640]

Thank u so much for saying that ab cold steel tantos thats part of the reason i got the voyager xl tanto

[@lylesmith5079]

Yes I just bought it at a local knife store for $219. This knife is like having your cake and eating it too. For my use it's self defense because it checks all of the boxes for it's capabilities. Strong, excellent slicer and stabbed. It's fast and perfectly balanced. I can lay it on a table and it will rest on the hilt without any other part touching. The yakote where the blade changes direction to the point is great for effective snap cuts. The sheath will not dull your blade if you press upward towards the spine when removing or resheathing. This will cut 5" on Manila rope that is free hanging. It will bend 90 degrees and not snap. It will stab through a 55 gallon steel drum with no damage. The craftsmanship is over the moon Perfect and beautiful..Karla I totally agree with your assessment 👏. Well done !

[@nebuQloud]

Your knife reviews are so wicked awesome! I love that you like Cold Steel so much! This was a great review!

[@LittleFitDevil]

You are the best Nebu

[@dalion9765]

I love that blade. I also really like your store. Keep it up. Thanks

[@tedjr.sullivan1882]

I have just bought one thank you for this review.

[@christopheristuris2106]

I LOVE THE TANTO BLADE ITS SWEEET

[@raptor9erraptor497]

Great Choice and I am glad you like it. Also I recommend the Cold Steel Tai Pan 3V

[@kevinmandrile5074]

Amazing review as always Carla! 😊 No wonder why this is one of your favorites knifes from Cold Steel, it seems so cool 😎.

[@LittleFitDevil]

[@BladesRKing]

I drooled over them years ago when they had the tantos with brass. When these newer ones came out I grabbed a 6” right away. Beautiful knife. I recently bought the Outdoorsman as well and it has the same exact sheath as the Tanto. I rather had a leather sheath imho.

[@LittleFitDevil]

I have not seen ay leather sheaths for it. Will look into it!

[@antouab221]

Such a refreshing review of this mythical blade from CS. I would also love to see your review of CS Tai Pan in either VG10 San Mai or CPM-3V steel. Liked n subscribed :)

[@darrylreformina1438]

Love the Magnum Series and great review 🤙🏽

[@deveshsharma7465]

We Are Blessed With Your Knowledge 🥰 of Knifes 🔪 Thanks For Sharing With Us Every Bit 😇🤟

[@greyfox999]

I got one back in 98. It's still my favorite knife.

[@katsujinkenju]

Nice review! I have a Carbon V Recon Tanto that I bought back in the 90s. Great knife. Mine came with a Cordura sheath that I'm not so fond of. Been thinking about getting a kydex IWB sheath. FWIW, I really want to get one of their kukris.

[@whammofammo7346]

Have too admit I'm 100% a cold steel fan boy. Have the Outdoorsman and SRK with the San Mai VG-10 that is some very very impressive steel. Thank you for the awesome review as always.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Nice review Carla I just got the Cold Steel Recon Tanto with a satin finished and with the San Mai steel it was going for $100 on Amazon I couldn't pass that up and I did a review on it too immediately! LOL anyway I may have to get one of those longer Cold Steel kmives hope they don't stop making the San Mai steel take care...

[@jorgefernandez6407]

That's an excellent knife! Would I buy it? 100% absolutely... I did! The larger, 3V version though. Just got the san mai recon tanto and as with everything Cold Steel, I was not disappointed! Great knife, great review Carla!

[@reginaldwhitecar99]

Indeed,a very nice knife Thanks, I appreciate you taking time to do these reviews 👍 Enjoy everything on your channel 🤗as always ❤️🤟🤠

[@thenubbynomad2828]

Finally something worth watching today 🙏

[@joecaca4136]

It's a great knife... I favor the 3V model in black. They do have one of the most appealing style of tanto blades. They do make swords after all. Loved this one Carla!!

[@seedeebun]

great review. thanks

[@wellingtonblackwell3118]

Cold Steel Tanto Point knives and tools are my favorites! I have a Recon Tanto in San Mai 3 (form Japan with a VG1 core), Voyager Large Tanto in AUS10A, SR1 Lite Tanto, Immortal (technically a Tanto), Tanto Machete, Katana Machete, and Tactical Katana Machete. I had a Kobun, but I sold it to a cousin. But I am buying a Voyager XL Tanto folder in AUS10A this week. Anyway beautiful knife and video!

[@knifeguy9134]

Very nice! Just got my CS urban edge today very cool glad I made this choice I was afraid the sheath wouldn’t be strong enough but was I wrong fits perfect and hasn’t been a issue all day! 🇺🇸🤘🏻

[@christopheristuris2106]

I USED TO SHIP ALOT OF COLD STEEL PRODUCT BLADES AND THEY ARE THE HIGH SCALE LOOK AND FEEL OF THEIR STYLE👍👍👍👌👌

[@tacticaltavern]

Agreed! Cold steel Tantos are fantastic and so are these reviews- keep em coming! 🔥🔪

[@voodoo7008]

I have a Cold Steel 21” tanto, made from spring steel. It’s big, and it’s sharp. Last line of defense if I run out of ammo, lol.

[@rnkmode1876]

Very Nice! I have so many CS knives. I wish they'd bring back the Peacekeeper. Everyone put the heat on CS to bring the Peacekeeper back into production, I need one!.

[@grimreaper6042]

That’s a sweet Tanto thanks for sharing Carla

[@christopheristuris2106]

Saw your video at the factory was pretty cool👍👍👍👍👍👌👌

[@garrettferrell6821]

NICE!!! I’ve been wanting to try out Cold Steel’s San Mai for a while now..I have the Recon Tanto in 3V and I love it,I might have to pick up this Magnum Tanto in San Mai..I love my Recon Tanto,I feel like a ninja assassin every time I remove it from the sheath..makes me feel like the white American version of Ghost of Tsushima...lmao..great video as usual Karla,keep up the great work

[@LittleFitDevil]

Stay tuned! I will be reviewing the recon tanto very soon!!!

[@kingzak5155]

Beastly knife! Great review Car

[@powerplay4real174]

I got the Recon 1 folder and the Voyager Tanto also , they are both fantastic knives but Wow ! I really want one of the Fixed blade tanto by CS as they are built for war and I like that a lot. Cold Steel make the World's Strongest Knives Fixed or Folder.

[@johnkloeden15]

Hell yeah I'd buy that knife! I've got recon 1 tanto that I love too.

[@georgeaddison5628]

I have one similar to it looks like its made better than mine it reminds me of a ninja weapon thank you for the review you're awesome

[@beeamerica5024]

I like it Cold Steel makes good knives I have a 7 and 1/2 inch blade buck I've had over 30 years but it doesn't have the hilt or the glass breaker I really like the idea of the hilt but I only gave 90 bucks for my buck that was over thirty years ago🐝😎

[@carmelotansengco4605]

Beautiful design. The only Cold Steel I own is the Warrior series O Tanto.

[@Wesker113A]

Remembering that code... That blade 😍 omg dreams

[@bev8200]

Is this the blade you were holding in the pic with kat and her dog at the cold steel booth? If so why is the handle so different?

[@BretMiller]

Thank you for the great videos and the discount code! I prefer to buy directly from cold steel rather than Amazon because there is no doubt that the product is genuine. On Amazon I always worry about fakes.

[@samiam1254]

Have a good evening Doc!!

[@thealize808]

Hi, how did you get started into the world of knives?

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Nice review I do like they're vg10 or San Mai Steel!

[@samclelland1319]

Awesome video 😎

[@michaelbonade4667]

Whether I pick up a newer one or find a vintage Japan made tanto fixed, I really should have one of these in my collection…..vintage Cold Steel, SOG and 🙄the most expensive, Al Mar are just beautiful examples of Japanese production knives…and they’re a testament to the WAY things are done in Japan……ALWAYS the right way, with the proper intention….

[@christopheristuris2106]

"SWISS KNIVES " HAS AN OK COLLECTION....LOVE THEIR "GIANT" KNIFE....IT HAS EVERYTHING ON 1 HANDLE

[@jjoutes9969]

Great Knife Car!! Great review as always

[@LittleFitDevil]

[@donaldsanchez986]

Beautiful I liike playing in the box

[@paultorgerson8776]

So many cool knives. Talwar is fun.

[@matthewsalomone3800]

That is a beautiful blade

[@cbroz7492]

I, too, like the tanto style...seriously like them all . my knives.. and those if my wife are Cold Steel...good stuff...I home GSM Outdorrs can continued the good work/quality if Lynn Thompson

[@Flockingtheherd]

Do you prefer cold steel over your extrema ratio knives?

[@crez1988]

Carla, can you please review the drop forge series? Thanks

[@tigerpisces5506]

I bought the Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII San Mai..You can handled the 12" blade? You have a XL Espada Folding Knife!

[@bigradz8246]

Just purchased the knife, thanks for the $52.00 savings. It will go good with my Espada XL

[@LittleFitDevil]

Great deal right there!

[@abdulrahimanbinali6832]

Wowwww!! Awesome👍👍👍👍great knife👏👏👏👏🤗🤗

[@baloneylorddonkeyhammer2273]

Great review beautiful

[@dudaruda919]

This tanto have full tang or?

[@nobodysreview6137]

I like Cold Steel because of the XL Folders with Tri Ad lock. For fixed blades not so much because theres so many other options but that knife there is pretty sweet.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

For the money cold steel's fixed blades outperform most other companies!!! I do love their big folders as well!!! The rajah 2 is one of my favorites, as well as the tylite 6, and my edc is a recon 1 clip point

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Also love my marauder, and for similar money the competition for example would be something like the condor undertaker bowie, but the undertaker won't take near the abuse that the cold steel marauder will!!!

[@powerplay4real174]

It's a Martial Affairs Blade by all means and one of the finest of it's kind for that type uses.

[@SneakyOldBastard]

Love this knife. Saw it a few times in Sons of Anarchy carried by Opie

[@johnmutton799]

I think this is the best model. And the knife is perfect too! Don't use the sheath it will ruin the knife, if you want it for a collection. The handle shape is great. I have the 3v tai-pan, that is wicked! For combat they should give them a g10 or micarta handle, it is simply harder.

[@DroppingBombs4ever]

When possible, Can you do a review on the Rambo heart stopper knife?

[@sinqros]

Getting the Cold steel SRK In VG10 San Mai soon

[@EduardoGarcia-fj2uc]

Super like award ❤

[@joevincer8337]

Awesome host Awesome knife!!!

[@bubba92473]

Oh Wow 👏 look at that. Gracias otra ves Doctora.! Always great 👍👌👏 content.

[@LittleFitDevil]

Thank you!

[@intheshadowsilie]

Interesting knife, pretty much a shot sword basically. If you like this knife you would probably like a CRKT Hisshou.

[@thehebrewyisraeliteinstitu1868]

Does anyone know if Cold Steel ever made a Magnum Tanto in 6” Nightfall (DLC)?

[@carolbeaudoin838]

Amazing 🙏

[@paulsmith8855]

You knoe good knives Carla aka Little Fit Devil 😈

[@partyof9418]

Damn I was thinking of getting the 7 1/2 in blade but that looks huge, I just need me a woods knife, was gunna go with the San mai 3 SRK which looks perfect, but I heard it’s not full tang, anybody got any info on that which should I get? 6” magnum tanto, 7-1/2” magnum tanto or San mai 3 SRK?

[@partyof9418]

I don’t wanna hear “what you would like bro” nah I will love either of them, any of them, but which one is the most versitle for the money, I can get it for 119 usd 128 usd and 98 usd respectively so I could do either but not all

[@user-hq7jm7rt1n]

Wanna see your review on CS espada xl G10 Aus 10 version

[@KrissStiletto13]

Right on! I absolutely luv them, too. Well done. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@Wildwestwrangler]

You should get a cold steel marauder!!!

[@CheddaChief]

YAS! Like that Knife!!

[@maxm.7459]

One of must popular EDC in Russia!) And Recon Tanto!

[@area51.52]

More cold steel please

[@alexdetullio7654]

Looks amazing!! Love this style of blade…. Is the grip rubber?

[@LittleFitDevil]

Kray-ex - similar to rubber

[@alexdetullio7654]

You are going to hit 80k subscribers before you know it!! 🙏🏻 keep up the hard work and the great videos!

[@joex]

[@rafaelm.832]

Hi Carla nice video. Nice to see your doing good. Was that building complex near your area?

[@LittleFitDevil]

No - that was in Miami. I am an hour and a half away

[@rafaelm.832]

Prayers for your Surfside neighbors 🙏 Hopefully they can rescue everyone.

[@frogger2020]

Thanks, you convinced me to buy one. My wife isn’t pleased.

[@johncensner6466]

Oh Spanish Fly you did it again,a really nice review and as usual you look ever so fine. Do a shenanigans show for us,you be funny.

[@gumpajess]

Have a glance at the warcraft tanto I've got the medium great blade

[@AlienAI51]

I have the Vintage Cold Steel Recon Tanto USA :-)

[@Wildwestwrangler]

This would be a good hog hunting blade!!! The only san mai I have is the srk and the recon tanto, and I love both!!!

[@brnobre4301]

W melhor tanto de todas as existentes no 🌎 👍 🇧🇷

[@martykoger1465]

I like it

[@GoFarAway5338]

[@LittleFitDevil]

I collect them but I also give them away here on KZbin and sell them on Patreon

[@stevenhall1097]

Is this knife full tang??? Nice review as always Carla.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Yes it is. It's a full encapsulated tang and stupidly strong!!!

[@coreychambers416]

Hi carla I like the folding knife cold steel voyager xl serrated I gotta stick with that it’s like we almost have the same interests

[@LittleFitDevil]
