Cold Steel has been my go-to place for blades for the past three decades. I started with a Trailmaster, moved on to a Recon Scout, then the Kitchen series; got hooked on the Special Forces Shovel for my camping/survival gear (now I also have the Trench Shovel too), and others I've forgotten (several were stolen years ago). The Spartan looks like a fabulous tool for a variety of tasks.

I've always liked the Spartan. The overall look of it open has great shape and style. A true one of a kind that no other knife manufacturers are even trying to copy. The CS serrations pattern is absolutely the best serrations on a knife I've ever seen! The s35vn makes it worth every penny! Great job CS! I'll be buying (hopefully winning) this one for sure.

I met Mr. Thompson at one of the first SHOT shows he had a booth in. I was a young sales rep, and he was the new guy ticking off all the established knife industry with his very vocal,well documented challenges on durability and bang for your buck. How they all howled! The "Proof" hurt, and successfully established a great source of tough, practical SHARP stuff, in so many models, and always at an amazing price point! A well-worn and much traveled Vaquero Grande still partners with my 640 S&W for EDC, and many more Cold Steel offerings can be found around our deep swamp homestead. Hats off to the man for seeing a need and so capably filling it.

I've been a Cold Steel fan for almost 30 years. I love big knives. ❤️ I jumped out of the Cold Steel fan club since Stick started but he had been growing on me the last 6 months. He has really humbled himself and paid Lynn some deference lately. The 6 inch serrated Vaquero Grande folder has been my EDC, right pocket, for ALMOST that entire time, going on 30 years. I started with Cold Steel on the 4 inch Tanto folder, moved up to the 5 inch Vaquero non serrated. When the guy I was buying knives from got the Vaquero Grande I immediately started drooling, pulled out cash and took it home. I've had 4 of them in my 30 years. Only have 1 left (not including the boot Desperado)with the Rajah ll, in my left pocke,t EDC since March 2020.

I love Cold Steel, but I'd like to see more serrated versions. I've got dozens of knives, both brand new. I also love the old, beautifully polished Voyagers (AUS8A and VG1). I wish CS would ditch the stone washed finish and go back to polishing, and as much as I love Andy Demko’s tri-ad lock, it adds a bit of weight to the knives that have it. My favorite knives are the old _Voyager_ 6-inch AUS8A and _Vaquero Grande_ 6-inch serrated knife. I'm glad I have a drawer full of the old knives, which haven't cut so much as a piece of thin dental floss! And my EDC self defense knife is a 6-inch Ti-Lite Kriss-blade w/a serrated edge! The Ti-Lite is great because, even with the blade retracted, it is a great weapon, especially where brass knuckles are against the law. Vertically and horizontally, top and bottom, the knife is vicious and beautiful. Still affordable, too.

@@Love_lily-p1o » Yes, it's my favorite carry knife. The kris design with the serrated edge makes it a formidable weapon. My next favorite is the older Cold Steel Vaquero Grande. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe what I was looking at. One guy who worked at a surplus store biked to work through a bad area. He routinely carried the Vaquero Grande with him to work at the night shift. The store was selling them for $129 and that was back then. I paid $70 for mine via the Internet.
