It’s a shame they discontinued the Eland. I bought one for my nephew for his 18th birthday and I kinda regret not getting one for myself. I’ve been carrying my Kudu for 6 years now and it hasn’t let me down yet. Hopefully I’ll cash in on an Eland one day.

I own a Kudu, and I have to say I think it's a great knife, especially for the low cost ! Ok, it may not look flashy and expensive ( which is fair enough as it isn't expensive), but it's an excellent working knife that you can use hard and not worry about.

Didn't have one in my collection so I just picked up the Kudu Lite for under 10. It's a great knife for the price. That's one of the many things I love about Cold Steel, no matter what your budget is, you can find a blade to match it. You would be hard pressed to find a knife this nice for under 10!

I love my Kudu (current edc) and plan on getting an Eland while they're still available on the secondary market. Since the Eland is no longer in production, I think it would be awesome to experiment with a smaller model in the 3.25"-3.5" blade length range. It would be incredibly easy to shorten the Kudu design down to meet those dimensions and would open it up to a wider market where blade length restrictions are a problem.

just got my kudu at delivery service, it reminds me the no name chinese knife i bought in the end of 90s somewhere at the chinese flea market in the chelyabinsk city, ural, russia. i used that knife for years but had lost it in the middle of 00s. it had wooden handle, unknown strange steel on a blade but it never failed me. it's kinda like i have that my knife again but on the next level of quality.

@Zanje899 жыл бұрын
Guus de Jong I agree it would be nice, the current one and steel used is fine for its role as is but after using it i am a HUGE fan of this design and use it as an EDC for all the things you normally carry a pocket knife for. At least for myself i wouldnt mind paying a bit more to get more, better blade steel even just AUS8, better feeling handle material, maybe some aluminum liners etc. all as a different option in addition to the current offering I feel this is a really good design that it is a shame it has no more advanced "premium" option
@Throatwobbler_Mangrove8 жыл бұрын
+Chris DiDomenico An upgrade to AUS8 would be nice but that would probably put the knife at the $15 price point and to be honest I wouldn't pay that much for this design, as much as I enjoy it as is. A more EDCable size (3.25"-3.5") would be a better modification, in my opinion. I feel like the locking mechanism, while effective, has clear limitations (slight up-down play in my model) negates any need for beefing up the knife's strength with liners. By cutting it's size down to a more EDC friendly length it would be better suited for the light duty task it is designed for and be legal in more locations.
