COLD STEEL TACTICAL KATANA

[@Russxm]

HEY COLD STEEL MEDIA TEAM, ARE YOU LISTENING? WE LIKE THIS GUY BETTER.

[@RandyLeftHandy]

THERE'S MEAT IN THE BOOT

[@1979Spica]

Yeah, I think we have all had enough of the fat guy awkwardly hacking up pig carcasses while making random stances and postures that are part of no training system. Hamfistedly smashing his way through rope and food as if to taunt the starving people of the world.

[@一文字輝宗]

日本人は諸身刃に絶対素手では触らない！刀身を拝見するのに 口元に和紙をくわえるか布を口に当てて見るくらい 人油と湿気に気を配って刀身拝見をする、よしんば刀身に触れたる場合は打ち粉を振って油水を拭き取る後に鞘へしまい込む！ この御人は平気で諸身刀に素手触りをしている知らない事とは言え恐ろしい！この分だと鞘に収める前にも布での拭き取りもしないだろうね、御人の刀なればいいのだが。

I really like how you (and Cold Steel) are up-front about how it’s not the equal of an actual Japanese katana in cutting or durability but emphasize that it’s a very utilitarian and affordable stand-in. That kind of honesty goes a long way with me.

[@TeonDeus]

You know, for executions

[@669lucian]

[@msharmall7298]

This may be a meme, but I would still probably trust my life with a Cold Steel more than any other brand.

@@msharmall7298 From their cheapest, to their pricy models - they all demand usage. That's when you know you've spent wisely on Performance you can witness yourself. I've bought two of their carbon V Recon tantos, that were considered modestly priced back in the day - one for display and one for usage - so glad I did!

[@kristianturner6]

you made a valid point about the expensive katanas, in the last three years when I walked away and came back to seriously train again I wanted one of the expensive ones and then some one made a comment to me that if you ever get into a situation where you need to use this its not going to matter what you use but more or less how you are able to use it and efficiant you are with it so I started looking at honshou wakizashi but this really looks great plus you did a great job of promoting it

[@Alex_bkr10]

@rod kemp Sucks to suck bro. My family and I have been loyal customers to Cold Steel for over a decade. We have never had a single issue with their cutlery. We're collectors so you may imagine our inventory numbers are high. They never said their cutlery is made of kryptonite. Just high quality steel. Like all metal, anything can break.

[@42105]

@rod kemp maybe a fake one? i have a fake cold steel as well

[@TheScotchaholic]

@@42105 Yep, there's fakes on the market, when purchased from questionable vendors. If it's a legit product with a factory defect, and not the result of abuse, Cold Steel will remedy the situation.

[@weinderdog1184]

@rod kemp I can guarantee it wasn't a cold steel kukiri. Those are the industry standard machete. Like you have to go out of your way to ruin those things.

[@AlexChristianFit]

Man honestly, this was such a great change of pace for Cold Steel's demo vids. Richard Lee really knows what he's doing behind the blade and it shows. Would absolutely love to see more demo vids with him. Great job y'all!

I dunno, I just saw how an ex secret service guy who does security for Trump rallies just failed miserably at trying to overthrow the Venuzuelan government, with 2 Americans captured. Maybe if they had this cold steel guy, he would have demonstrated the $60 tactical katana's executing ability on Maduro.

Sweet clean cuts on that bamboo, but how does it fair on solid woods? Like tree limbs and other American woods a machete would be used on?

@@RichardLeeLeefist I'd definately not compare it with an ax or hatchet, but other machetes yes. I have a cheap Taiwan "walmart special" (about $12) machete I used to cut black lightening hardened oak... and it did better than my hatchet, and kept its edge!

[@RichardLeeLeefist]

@@vincedunn9983 you'll be amazed at how this machete will perform! Its spectacular at chopping

Amazing garden work sword! Saved me so much time and allow me to precision trim the shape of the bushes. This two handed machete compared to a standard one handed ones allow so much more precise cutting. I did sharpen this before I used it though. But good weight for trimming. Got the sword after watching this vid. It’s really an amazing value especially if you consider the time it will save you in the garden!

[@agent7796]

Outstanding, 😎👍👍

[@S.Grenier]

Some of those mods were pretty cool, great demo at the end too. Is there any chance we could get a similar video for say, the chinese war sword machete ? I know a lot of people have been on the fence about this one for a long time.

[@RichardLeeLeefist]

Not a bad idea!

[@TheScotchaholic]

I just went to the Cold Steel website: Out of stock. That should tell you something.... All blades cut or slice, not all can hack or chop. The Chinese war sword is the fastest and most powerful chopping blade in the sword lineup, IMO. It's wide blade is great for those practicing defensive blocking and bashing/cutting/stabbing close range skills.

[@jimwalkerarchery]

Love this video so much. Thank you. All out of stock.

[@gregorycraig9882]

Awesome 10/10. May I suggest making the handles less slippery as a mod. Maybe rubber tool dip. Love to see more of this guy.

[@MrHrKaidoOjamaaVKJV]

An Awesome multi use product! Yes the Tactical Katana& Wakizashi Machetes are excellent Hibred Swords. Cold Steel's CEO Lynn Tompson, really came up with an excellent idea he put into creation. As we saw in a privious past Cold Steel video one can infact use the Tactical Katana Machete for survival Hunting / Fishing in taking spearing a Big Fish etc. I can see that the Tactical Katana and Wakizashi and Tactical Chinese War Sword Machete could be properly used to defend against and kill those dangerous little "Godzilla's" Ingiunas. Or the other invasive species such as Constrictors; (Python, Anacondas, Boas) as well as Nile Monators etc. Which in the State of Florida do need to be dispatched as they pose a public safety issue as aggressive dangerors invasive species. I am looking at making, modifying my Tactical Katana into a Double Edge version to sharpen the back side for the ultimate versatility in a survival utility defense impliment.

@@minicoopertn That's because it's really just a machete made to look like a katana. It's awesome, I have one, but it's really more of a bushcraft tool rather than a weapon. If you want an actual weapon that's practical then obviously you want to go with a firearm not a blade. Also assuming you live in the US where we can actually buy and own firearms.
