[@johnanon658]

Sir, God bless. Note thst the fiber(glass) reinforced sheath there will almost certainly be dulling the blade when you draw it. Recommend you get a new sheath for 40-50 bux off one of the eBay makers

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

You're 100% correct that's exactly what I did I got a taco shell sheath from Red Hills I don't like those kayaks seeds with a 90 degree angle I'll replace them every time with a taco shell kydex. God bless you as well John!🙏🏻

A bad ass knife!! Thanks for the video bro!!

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Really interesting how that San Mai is done. Money well spent. Thanks Jerry, have a great week!

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yes I love it Michael! Some steels I don't do so well sharpening, but this San Mai was so easy to sharpen and as always thanks for your support friend! 🙏🏻🙂

[@JollyPeanut]

That is an awesome knife , I have the VG1 San Mai 3 it is also my battle knife I have had mine prob 6 or 7 years now....Great review I like your reason for getting a kydex sheath ...Thanks Jerry 👍

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yes this is an awesome knife and it sharpened so nice! I'm pretty sure this will be my go-to also! I'm going to have to take it out and see if I can go through some water bottles ,I have never tried that with a knife before and as thick as it is it looks like it wouldn't do that great but you proved that it could. As always thanks for your support friend! 🙏🏻🙂

[@NOOBKIAtv]

The OSS comes in San Mai but its called the black bear classic! Its a great knife if you can get it under 200 bucks

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I didn't know that they called her the black bear clastic but it's a very good Japanese steel!

[@bradfarrahgerwing154]

I have that one in aus 8

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@@bradfarrahgerwing154 I think they made a few versions of it different blade shapes different steel. I think it's one of their better fixed blade designs.

@@jerrydonquixote5927 if I went on safari it would be an ideal light emergency defense Watched a cold steel video where a guide hunting Cape Buffalo in Africa stabbed a wounded one mauling a hunter twice and killed it That's impressive with the hide and fat, awesome penetration

[@brianf9619]

Awesome Blade , especially for the price , $83.00 on Amazon today 9/4/22 , they used to be around $175 years ago when they used a VG-1 Core and had that Big Ricasso ...

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I just now seen your reply and I'm sorry about that Brian, but thanks for letting everyone know!

[@jd-jw8hm]

Cant go wrong with the Recon Tanto..😎👍

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Completely agree JD!😁👍🏻

[@legionnaires]

if its made in Taiwan it is VG-10 steel. VG-1 fixed blade and VG--1 San Mai were before in Japan. VG-10 is apparently strong but is chipping,it lacks in toughness . so they say

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yeah I used to think it was the best I don't even have this one anymore.

[@blueknight7524]

Great deal for a quality knife.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

It really is and the steel is really hard to beat!

[@samthai818]

The Recon Tanto is great knife. I have both the San Mai VG10 and the SK5. I would love to get a 3V version. This is a very competent and comfortable batoning and chopping knife. I have even edc this knife along with my HK, it is actually fairly comfortable except for when I sit down in my car seat. But for any outdoor activity, this knife carries well.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yeah I've always liked their San Mai steel. I've always wanted the double edge OSS with the San Mai III. I hear people saying now that Lynn sold the company its going downhill, I don't know that first-hand. Yeah they are awesome knives!

[@samthai818]

I believe in some ways their cheaper economical products have gone down. I hear that some of their cheapest knives are now being made in China and what was once indestructible has now started to break readily suchas the GI Tanto. China will screw up anyone's reputation in short order. If coldsteel decides to go this route for all or more of their products then we watching the implosion of a reputable company. This is extremely unfortunate.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@samthai818 yeah well put, I agree with you there. There are few Chinese companies that are giving America a run for their money, but buying out American companies, I don't see that ever going in a good direction! Appreciate you watching Sam Kapoonkup... 🙏🏻

[@johnanon658]

Looks like the 3v version is discontinued

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

@johnanon658 I'm not surprised since those were Japanese steel the Chinese are probably not making it. That one double edge knife with a sub-hilt is still listed on Amazon with this steel. Almost $200.

[@parikeno1196]

Memperhatikan bentuk pisau dengan kehebatannya, sangat menarik. Melihat ujungnya mampu mengiris kertas dengan mudah, betapa tajamnya pisau ini. Tampak kuat dan keren jika masuk sarungnya. 👍👍👍❤

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Itvslices very good, and it's made for penetration the tanto tip. Yeah this deal is very good Japanese steel and it will take a very fine Edge kak! 🙏🏼🙂

Jerry you correct and now I gotta get me a Recon Tanto 🥇

I don't know why I'm not getting notifications of some of my messages, but I always respond, and I hope you got that Recon Tanto, you sure won't regret it!

[@legionnaires]

SOG Pentagon is made of AUS-8 steel Tanto is combat knife for piercing, not for survival . its a pure military knife but now with hollow grind. I have old AUS-8 version with sabre grind blade.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I had the Pentagon and I just could not do very much with that thing getting it Sharp.

[@FreedomFroggear]

What a beauty. Looks great! Coldsteels have always been good to me. Sorry about the strokes man but you seem to be doing very well now. Glad to see it. The old sog pantagon was aus8 steel. Lovin that knife. I have never liked the coldsteel sheaths but the knives are great. I agree always buy something reliable for self defense.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yes for me Cold Steel either makes a knife that I really love or I just don't like at all but the ones that I have and that I like I really do love! I couldn't be more happy with! I'm glad to know that the Pentagon has AUS8 because I really don't care for that steel probably not the fault of the steel, but nevertheless I have an issue sharpening it, so I guess I should put that up for sale. Thanks for the info! And yes thank you for that also I believe my days is struggling from the strokes are way behind me. And to be able to get a second chance at life and even the burden of relearning things and in some ways I feel like it's made me a better person. Wouldn't want to go through it again, but I can appreciate where I am, over where I've been! Thanks as always for your support🙏🏻🙂

Nope...used to be VG1 and it's now VG10. The slabs are 420 steel and in the inside it's a VG10. Whether it's regular V10 or a more brittle version I don't know. I'd stick with the SK5 version.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I'd much rather have the 3 layer San Mai III steel.

[@southernknight9983]

lol! Nope! It used to be VG1 and now it is VG10, which I love and use already in my Spyderco's. For this reason, I am now investing in Cold Steel's SanMai blades.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Yeah I think it's good steel the Japanese know what they're doing with blade steel!,

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

It's corrected in the description VG-10

[@johnanon658]

Vg1 were the wholly jap made knives. Vg10 is jap steel, or blades, but the knives are made or finished and assembled in taiwan

[@misterx8585]

I received mine today and it has the same uneven grind on the exact same place.

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

That's unusual I wonder if it's a problem with the manufacturing, it's not that big of a deal but still makes you wonder. And I seen multiple comments and I didn't get a notification, so my apologies for responding so late. I always respond to the comments. Hope you still enjoy yours brother!
