Cold Steel SRK Carbon V DESTRUCTION . . . By Mayor Fuglycool

Can the Cold Steel SRK pass the Mayor's hardcore test ?
Mayor Fuglycool

[@Wildwestwrangler]

why does everybody compare this to falkniven? Seriously!!! falkniven copied cold steel, because they were cold steel distributors before producing knives. oh, also the srk was out first.

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

@@ashton6478 Pretty sure my Cold Steel SRK in CPM 3V made in Italy can take abuse the Falkniven could never even dream of.

[@MooseKicks1066]

@@ashton6478 But would you abuse the shit out of a $200 blade? This thing is $40.

[@awesomereviews1561]

SYMPOL BMX debatable. For a 40$ knife, it’s very good. Is the Falkniven you paid between 200$ and 400$ five times or ten times better? I don’t think so. And if you step up to the CPM 3V model for the SRK, it’s also a different story. And remember DBK did an abuse test for a Falkniven and the tip broke within seconds

[@a_tired_dad]

@@ashton6478 except their VG-10 tips snap and/or bend with light prying unlike the Vold Steel

[@edbrown6985]

True.

[@tomsawyerpiper9412]

These Carbon V Cold Steels are probably the best knives to ever come out the CS factories. They sharpen easier and hold an edge longer than the AUS8, cheaper than 3V, and just overall better bang for your buck. I have a Recon Tanto coming in a few days and can’t wait.

[@jamessidmouth]

Amazing test! I love that you review the knife after dragging it to hell and back rather than unboxing it and and judging it on looks alone like most other KZbin channels! Keep it up

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@BushcraftingBogan]

I just bought this knife and I am planning on comparing it to my BK2 that Ive been using since 2019. Im well aware of the limitations of the BK2 in terms of finer wood working tasks. The SRK is very light and im sure it will be limited on the heavy lifting tasks that the BK2 excels in. The major tasks I require of a survival knife are simple. 1. Making a shelter with cordage. 2. Processing wood for fire making. Im looking forward to testing it.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Yeah you are going to love it ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

The Cold Steel SRK is a great survival knife for anyone serious about such things. I've seen so many videos of people beating the tar out of this blade and it simply smiles back. Thanks for the video Mayor!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks for the support ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@TheScotchaholic]

Cold Steel blades in general, perform way past their cost, compared to the overpriced elitist snob brands.

[@justlooking...2412]

I've seen vids of people snapping these SRK knives like twigs and others can beat the crap out of them like this vid.

[@timbalzer7688]

I'm pretty sure this design has been around since the mid 80's so I'm pretty sure they didn't copy Fallkniven. In other news, this video was extremely entertaining.

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Tim Balzer falkniven copied cold steel, but because falkniven is a higher end brand people assume it came first when they were the European distributors for cold steel then borrowed ideas and went their separate ways

[@TomJones-pv2iw]

I purchased an SRK and a Trailmaster in the 1980s in Carbon V steel.

[@jacobweisth7180]

As far as I've understood, it's the Fällkniven A1 that's inspired by the SRK. Love them both. If I could have an A1 in Carbon V, I would be crying of joy....

[@snakrut]

Regrettably, the carbon v SRK is no longer available as a new knife.

[@MayorFuglycools]

The Carbon V is great ! I would also like to try out the AUS 8 version sometime soon. Mayor Fulgycool

[@iFlowWithTheGo]

HAHAHA!

[@jorgefernandez6407]

I've got both, the SRK & the Recon Tanto. Your tests on this knife has really impressed me! It's definitely an excellent knife!!!

[@waltero3035]

Totally love your videos. It’s not only informative, but also entertaining and amusing as well. For a moment there, I almost thought it was Arnold Z who was talking. Great review! Subbed as well.

[@MadDuckknivesandreviews]

Hi from Spain, love your test chanel thanks.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@grippymcjimping6740]

Thanks Mayor, your vids always make me chuckle. Thanks to your friend for donating that classic Carbon V blade and to Mine Man for his organs, too!

[@MayorFuglycools]

HaHa ! Yeah, poor mine man ! I will tell my bud thanks for ya :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@silverback4434]

Nice test thx Mayor !

[@jjdogbutte]

You have to be one of the most entertaining knife testers on KZbin! Love my old SRK too.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks friend, I really appreciate it ! The SRK is a very well designed blade, love it ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@edge4006]

Great knife, test and review!!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks Edge, I really appreciate the support ! Nice to hear from you again, hope you are well ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@49giants3]

Awesome blade , I just picked up the one in cpm3v , and awesome video. Thanks mayor

[@MayorFuglycools]

Glad you liked the vid friend :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@randycisneros4111]

Happy Easter Mayor, I have this exact same Cold steel SRK Carbon V made in USA that I bought back in the day when Lynn Thompson was selling these from Ventura California. Great review as always. I'm currently going to buy a Cold steel VG-10 in San-mi steel so I was doing my homework as always before I buy and came across your review. I remember viewing this review back in the day before I bought this knife. Thanks again and be stay safe. "A man can never have to many knives "

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks for watching :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@ivansucic9149]

Mayor your knife tests are the best you helped me to buy best knife possible i got myself SRK and it it THE ultimate knife thank you keep it up YOU ROCK👍💪🤟

[@edwardvoss7717]

Do you think you could do a video on the ESEE 5? i know there are other destruction videos out there but I'm pretty sure your test would be a true test of purpose and performance.

[@MayorFuglycools]

I will get around to the 5 and 6 sometime soon ! Thanks for watching friend ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@DjMooresauce]

I got mine from my buddy it sat outside on the coast for about a year stabbed into a board. I cleaned it up and it’s nearly new. I polished it to a real cool dark metal. Light fading on the rubber handle is the only noticeable thing. Still my favorite blade.

[@Chantalicious74]

Nice video. I miss the metal rod for the ultimate destruction test, wil you include it anytime soon?

[@matyaskaroly985]

sir you can make a test for a cold steel recon scout O-1 High Carbon steel ?

[@thomaschainey3230]

Great video thanks.

[@RealG4LifeLopez]

Hell yeah awesome blade great video man!!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks for watching friend :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@tyronekim3506]

Entertaining and informative knife test video. Thanks.

[@oliviergavillet6418]

Amazing knife, amazing review, amazing and...funny expert! thank's mate 👍

[@bawidamann939]

Cool knife, very entertaining video. 👍👍

[@OmegaMan999]

All these years later I still enjoy this.

[@michaellanier692]

I love your videos man. Just discovered you. Love the campy impersonations!

[@theWZZA]

Mayor, I hope you are doing well in 2022! I am a fan of your work!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Yes I am still alive somehow , thanks for watching ! I hope 2022 will be a good year for making more videos. Mayor Fuglycool

[@michaelmarquis1824]

great video..I have a cold steel recon tanto I'm liking a lot.

[@normanscout1148]

wow,awesome knife that just took that test in its stride I bet you could put it through the test again and it would survive ,I would put this knife in the same category as the bk20 if it was a race it would be a dead heat as always excellent video thanks for sharing

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks friend, this knife is really durable ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@gunner3548]

Excellent review as always. Thank you for your work. Any chances you will be testing Leatherneck SF in D2 steel? Best regards from France.

[@chones01]

How do you feel about the AUS 8A that they use now?

[@MayorFuglycools]

AUS 8A is a decent stainless type of steel, I would say that the strength of the blade is the same, just more rust resistant. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@jackhook4192]

I had the sk5 and the tip of the knife broke off stabbing wood. About one inch of the tip broke off. At first I thought it maybe just a factory defect but I have seen and heard of others having the same problem with this knife.

[@gideonhawk]

Think it's just inconsistent I've heard both ways of these but they do have life time warranty so just till you get s good one

[@rickhuo6531]

Hey man can you do a vid on the sk5 recon tanto?? Ty

[@pliskenx51mm83]

Awesome man. Thats one heck of a tough knife. Very nice review.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks friend ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@pliskenx51mm83]

Mayor Fuglycool No problem man.

[@sandfordfields26]

Are the cold steel srk knife that is made in Taiwan any good?

[@F3EDER]

I can't find a source but I read somewhere that Fällkniven actually based their A1 and S1 design on the Cold Steel SRK. Obviously improving a lot on it as well. Still haven't got the S1 in my collection sadly. It is one expensive knife!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Yeah, the Fallkniven series are great, and I totally love the SRK. :) One day I will test the Fallkniven A1, stay tuned ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@torsten4757]

hey major, cool you tested the srk! I purchased one 2 weeks ago. for sure I dont use it so hard like you, but I agree when it comes to durability and versatility. great knife! but one issue I find, the coating from my vg1 blade comes off very easily. ... I looking for more cold steel testing, espcially the spartan ☺👍 Danke für deine tollen und interessante Videos, mach weiter so wie bisher! super geil! viele grüße aus Süddeutschland

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks for the support friend, I am glad you loved the video ! The SRK is tough ! Danke fürs zuschauen ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@shooter1721]

Excellent review my friend!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks, I am glad you loved it ! Take care friend :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@GMDV09]

Was that Arnold I heard!? Cool 'work' on the cold steel SRK and loved your video's on the Ontario SP1 & 6. Will you do some work on the Cold Steel Recon Tanto?

[@Mister_Ess]

Holy smokes! It survived all that with only minor damage?! I've made up my mind. I'll be picking up one of these some day.

[@patricksmith9297]

Great Arnold impressions,

[@dwightehowell6062]

An SRK will take a razor edge. I've seen video of guys beating the absolute bleep out of it. They ruined the rubbery material the handle was made of but the metal part inside the handle didn't bend even a smidgen. These are very, very tough knives. I do own one.

[@MayorFuglycools]

For sure, these are really tough ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@waldfriedling]

Safety first my friends :) Nice Video demonstration!

[@Springfield_7.62x63mm]

Hey Mayor, you should try out the True Flight Thrower it was made by Cold Steel as well, it's a very tough piece of steel and I wondered if it will pass your destruction test

[@sahalhanif]

Man you're the best in knives tests

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thank you, I hope to do more someday Mayor Fuglycool

[@domingosauspiciosos67]

Nice test. But man, enough about the safety.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Glad you loved the tests ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@Wildwestwrangler]

Safety never takes a holiday!!!#!!

[@bluegrasssurvival9423]

And remember, safety first my friends! :P

[@Eldofarmboy]

Martim Cazarin-Agreed. I love the tests but the safety gets a bit old at times

[@convex7456]

Martim Cazarin smokey the bear would not like you!!!

[@micheletennis87]

Hello, interesting and original video above, based on your experience is preferable to this or strongarm of Gerber? Let me know what you think, Michele a greeting.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Hello Michele, I think that the strongarm is pretty nice, as it is lighter. The strongarm cannot chop as well as the SRK, but the strongarm is easier to carry around. Thanks for watching ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@serious_shooter5872]

This dude is SO funny. I wish he would go back to doing these tests. Do you hear me Mayor!?!?

[@MayorFuglycools]

Yeah while I'm still here Mayor Fuglycool

[@crowbrocaw]

Speaking from experience the brick is tougher than the cinderblock

[@Fabutek]

And this is decent test of the knife. You convinced me to buy it. Thanx.

[@GamingGoddess]

Another awesome video :3 Gaming Goddess

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thankies ;) Mayor Fuglycool

[@05glisedan]

Searching for knife info. Found your channel. Think this may be the knife for me. Thanks.. Keep posting test content.

[@brianberkley5901]

I love my old carbon V SRK. I bought it used from a veteran of one of the many Middle east campaigns the USA was involved in. $20! He said he was going to pick up a new one. I gave him the Jackson thanked him for his service to our country & wished him luck. I didn't have the hart to tell him that they no longer make them in the USA or out of carbon V. Was I in the wrong? sweet deal. 10 years ago. even more of a deal looking back.

[@MayorFuglycools]

It's an awesome blade and awesome steel. :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@scarysurrealplacestimelaps9627]

xD you are cool men !! new subscriber from portugal haha

[@murdernova8217]

can you please do a video on the tom brown tracker knife

[@MayorFuglycools]

Now that is a knife that I can test . . . Love the design ! ;) Mayor Fuglycool

[@panamared3681]

Hey great to see a new knife get put through the wringer!!

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks for watching friend, more Cold Steel to come in the future ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@patagonXL1]

Is there gonna be Cold steel recon tanto 7" destruction? Love your videos keep it up :)

[@MayorFuglycools]

The recon tanto will probably come out next year sometime, I have a lot of them lined up for the end of this year. I will get around to it in the future, and I am sure it will hold up :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@MrFomhor]

Cool!

[@pralkalg1977]

I love your videos 10/10 :)

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@jmanecod]

Have you done the schrade leroy yet?

[@streetcat957]

It's chrome vanadium steel , same as Case steel . Extremely good

[@justlooking...2412]

How come you don't test the popular new Schrades like the 30, 36, 28, 58, etc... I bought one and want to know if it's a piece of junk or a good knife. I would also like to know if these SRK knives say China or Taiwan on them Thanks

[@anistartw]

Thanks for your review.

[@MayorFuglycools]

Glad you loved it, share it with your friends :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@anistartw]

+Mayor Fuglycool sure! Will you review some folding knife?

[@MayorFuglycools]

[@coolplayznogame8855]

One tough piece of Cold Steel,,I like that knife with that simple design and after watching this test I like it even more,,,plus it's made in The USA I didn't know that,,,,Cool test as always Mayor,,Keep Up The Good Testing,,,and as always Safety First,,,,Peace

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks cool, I really appreciate your input ! I want to test the AUS 8 version as well, this blade is a great design ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@glbwoodsbum2567]

It was originally made in the USA. It is not anymore.

[@derkelte4871]

Nice test, a little bit longer knife, well than take the trailmaster from cold steel. It's a chopper king. The trailmaster, San Mai III is a incredibly knife. I own it and I love it

[@marcrhodes7177]

I thought all the tests constitute extreme abuse but wow I'm impressed and I own a carbon v srk for 29 years. it's been through a lot of deer and steaks. they don't make them like that anymore . peace

[@MayorFuglycools]

Thanks friend ! :) Mayor Fuglycool

[@davidgarrison3976]

I recently got one of these from a guy who said he carried it in Afghanistan. It says SRK COLD STEEL CARBON V MADE IN USA. the sheath it came in I've seen on others but mine is unmarked. Is this normal? I read they were counterfeit. If this knife is fake, it's a good one. Has black epoxy paint, balance is excellent. Any help? Thanks

[@neilmccauley1908]

Got the same one....awesome knife

[@MrPacheco1980]

Muito bom os testes vou comprar depois disso

[@axeandturtle]

how about that handle? isn't loose?

[@joeypiattelli2061]

Hey Mayor! Are you planning on doing a torture test on the Gerber Gator Premium? Would be interesting to see if Gerber's premium knife is worth the money.

[@h__n1092]

Nice review man! wish you will do one on the Cold steel Laredo..

[@MayorFuglycools]

Well, the Laredo Bowie has a wire tang I believe . . . And I am kinda skeptical if it will hold up to my tests. I am glad you loved the test, more Cold Steel to come :) Mayor Fuglycool

Carbon -V stuff from Cold steel is almost indestructible

[@MayorFuglycools]

That Carbon V stuff is really tough ! Mayor Fuglycool

[@thejasonbischoff]

Thought I already commented, but I didn’t. Have been enjoying your vids for a while. Recently found this SRK Carbon V at a pawn shop in new condition with the Kydex sheath. I had seen it on some other KZbin channels as well, so I was happy to be able to pick one up without having to spend a lot on eBay. Yes, they are “collectible,” but that doesn’t mean they are expensive or you shouldn’t use them. What’s the point of a knife you can’t count on to perform that just sits in a drawer? I went straight out and picked up a decent stick off the ground and promptly got to hacking it up. Thanks for your vids and all the great destruction testing winners and losers.

[@multidimensionaltraveler806]

Man those are some really brutal tests and that thing held up nice. Great video. In my opinion, Dont do Arnold impersonations just be yourself

[@canizlupuzcanizlupuz]

I used to own both a Fällkniven A1 and an SRK carbon V. Think I liked the SRK more, partly because of Cold Steels testing and when the knife isn't that expensive you aren't afraid to use it. Think I liked the SRK grip better also. I don't believe that Fällkniven is better. The most expensive one is over 500 dollars in Sweden (A1 Pro). Do you even want to use a knife that expensive?

[@rockspydre]

Dude, you fuckin’ rock. I love watching your tests. Tetanus in the eye... really?! Keep up the good work.
