Cold Steel Trail Master; do I still love it?

awesome doesn't change

[@stevekirkman7687]

Love my trailmaster. Have it in a custom kydex sheath. My go to woods knife.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

its just awesome

[@johnanon658]

Came here for a knife show, and got a gun show instead 💪 Good job keeping in shape

[@Castle621]

Lynn Thomson knew what he was doing!!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

absolutely

[@adods9824]

Agreed! He usually does !!

[@ThirdoptionJCSU]

@@DonnieBAllDay Are those knives from 5160 from the Kukri house are better than the Cold steel at far as toughness and versatility in your opinion?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@ThirdoptionJCSU definitely more consitant. CS heat treats are all over the place. But both still great

[@ThirdoptionJCSU]

@@DonnieBAllDay I've noticed that too.I have all that CS family in 3v from recon to Natchez but can i trust my life with it i don't know.Which model would you recommend from the Kukri house my friend?

[@garengatorlope1004]

Two knives really made Cold Steels reputation the tanto and the trailmaster i have owned and lost both over the years and hope to get another of each

[@DonnieBAllDay]

definitely worth it

[@adods9824]

Me too! Both seized unlawfully and destroyed. Just replaced TM, now looking for original tanto. Never used it, don't need it, but it's the principle!

[@stefanklaus1652]

i am a lucky owner of a Trail Master Bowie and i will allways love this knife, its just badass...love you fam

[@DonnieBAllDay]

you know more about great knives than most

[@peacemaker357]

Forget the knife, that hat!!! 😍 💙💣💥

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Love this topper

[@steveborgresistance8310]

One of the Greatest models Cold Steel made! We both did a Patina on the Trail Master about the same couple years ago. It's good to have good friends who deserve good blades👍 Have a great new year Dbad and everyone else here💯👍😎

[@DonnieBAllDay]

You aren't lying my brother. Happy new year!

[@rustyknifelover4463]

Scab 8s gonna love it Brother.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

no doubt!

[@davebrune4001]

Bought mine in 87 best money I ever spent..G.O.A.T..🗡🏆

[@DonnieBAllDay]

such a great piece

[@BladeObssession]

With that patina it would look great with wood scales. It would be really hard to get rid of then

[@DonnieBAllDay]

yeah it would

[@JustOutDetailingwithDylan]

Such a classic, having the drop forged bowie let’s me have a small taste of the beast. Quite possibly the sliciest bowie out there 😂

[@DonnieBAllDay]

its plain awesome

[@raphlvlogs271]

cause it is designed to be a classic and a modern tradition

[@DonnieBAllDay]

and they nailed it

[@gregvanderlip7726]

That's very cool bro he gonna have blast with it 😊

[@DonnieBAllDay]

oh I know he will

[@igoryurkin9038]

Great knife! Recon Scout great to.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

100%

[@tropocal2343]

👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@sharamkh]

I have to agree with you. I have a couple of the O1 version. They are good outdoor knives.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Never failed me

[@adods9824]

Where to get? Had the san Mai. 5 0 down here (OZ) didn't like me having it. Seized n destroyed. Replaced with carbon V. Where to get an 01 one tho?

[@DjrWalsh]

I carry my 3v trail master or 3v recon scout and a 4max almost every day..love them..sometimes i carry a AK47 field knife or srk or large warcraft ..not the xl

[@DonnieBAllDay]

they get it done

[@adods9824]

3V one has good grind lines? I want one but won't accept butchered grind lines ... Not on a $700 plus knife (Australia)

[@DjrWalsh]

@adods9824 they're pretty good imo..they slightly over ground it but not easy to notice and doesn't effect function or durability..great ht edge holds up great..I use mine for whatever its a beast

[@adods9824]

Hopefully that's sorted then. Still need a leather sheath, more $. The secure ex blunts knives, even if U don't draw them out often :-(​@@DjrWalsh

[@Kent4OughtAldridge]

OG badassery

[@DonnieBAllDay]

100%

[@coleenmccrory9018]

Both blades are dope AF love em❤

[@coleenmccrory9018]

You look dope AF 🤩

[@DonnieBAllDay]

some great knives!

[@Edgekeeper747]

Donnie B got some guns 💪🏻

[@DonnieBAllDay]

plinkers

[@larryroberts3598]

Is that SK-5? Carbon V? Or the O-1? San mai III? 3V? Just curious. My original TM was carbon V and I'm now the proud owner of the O-1 version. Even recently scored a the vintage Carbon V SRK and it was in pristine condition.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

Its O-1. I think thats the best version

[@adods9824]

Me too. Two carbon V SRK, down under :-)

[@davidneal6920]

Great knife. Apparently Fallkniven copied this one with their Modern Bowie 🇺🇸 🇳🇿

[@DonnieBAllDay]

its a classic design. Been around long before either company

[@scottf.3808]

Definitely one of their Iconic knives and everybody should try and buy one....Everything about it is outstanding and I agree about the rubber handle but somehow it works well on this knife and the Recon Scout....Nice gift to Scott....Good stuff....

[@DonnieBAllDay]

you definitely aren't lying

[@scottf.3808]

@@DonnieBAllDay 👍👍

[@MichaelR58]

Great knives thanks for sharing YAH bless brother !

[@DonnieBAllDay]

You bet

[@risingabove1096]

Found one! It's on the way.

[@DonnieBAllDay]

worth it

[@watchcityknives]

Bad knives owned by a bad man. If anyone will absolutely appreciate and deserve it is definitely SCAB such a great humble honest respectful young man. I still remember you showing the cemetery and knew exactly where you live since that video. 😂But only a idiot would go to your house uninvited lol We LOVE YOU DONNY WE LOVE YOU SCAB & MEGATRON my favorite 3 stooges DBAD,SCAB,JOESTEEL JS BLADECRAFT

[@DonnieBAllDay]

All are welcome here... Unless they're not. But we just bury those ones in the woods. Hahaa

[@risingabove1096]

On my list of WANT! Not sure which steel to get. Not sure about quality control on new ones. Which one would you get if you bought one today?

[@DonnieBAllDay]

I'd stick with the O1 or any steel before the company sold

[@adods9824]

​​@@DonnieBAllDayjust bought old skool brand new carbon V with modded micarta handle. You, my US friend, have No idea how rare that is Down Under. $500 well spent. Grail knife!!!!

[@DonnieBAllDay]

@@adods9824 good get!

[@frangouchc943]

Ive always wanted a CS Trail Master since I became a CS fanboy in the 80s. Do you think a Trail Master from the new GSM owned CS is worth purchasing? Happy New Year Frangouch

[@DonnieBAllDay]

The heat treats are more up and down now but you can still get a great one.

[@tomritter493]

Brother that's Awsome maybe have spme bucks on thay recon scout that's my fav c s. Happy new yr

[@DonnieBAllDay]

theres a guy selling one on ebay for $395. I'll go less than that
