G.I. Tanto by Cold Steel: Full Review

[@nullnull4198]

Bought one, its great when on a budget. Like a Russian knife, own it for life and rely on it without paying for an esee knife for example. Great for camping, my kids loved throwing it, chopped food, made spears etc...highly recommended!

[@jorgefernandez6407]

Thank you for the video, some other videos I seen on this knife say this knife is not good for what your doing with it. So I'm subscribing to your Channel

Right?!! 🤣👍

[@CopperJacketTV]

Looks like it worked out great man.

[@jelisvancalster3152]

Would you be able to wear this knife (in sheath) while going trough water or swamp or will it rust?

[@GearReviewDepot]

+Jelis Van Calster It will rust if you don't take care of it, just keep it oiled and you'll be all set.

[@Immortalized1]

Great review guy

[@GearReviewDepot]

Hi Tac'D, how's the edge retention on that G.I. Tanto, it seem's to me to be a softer steel to be able to beat it as hard, softer steel, generally don't hold a good edge or as long.

[@GearReviewDepot]

So far so good. Used it hard on several day trips and haven't noticed it getting dull. I'd still prefer 1095 but it's really not bad at all.

[@mryayayify]

There are people saying that it looks ugly but it apparently does the job.

[@GearReviewDepot]

It certainly looks cheap to me but it absolutely does the job. Strong blade for sure.

[@frankstarship6381]

well, its kinda ugly but it also look raw and manly

[@Jarhead6]

good video bro!

[@GearReviewDepot]

Jarhead6 Thank you! It was certainly one of the fun videos to make.

[@larrymarinas2097]

Just order one, will see...

[@powerplay4real174]

Lots of knife for a bargain price ,that GI Tanto by Cold Steel, no mall ninja junk there Pal, just tough 1055 carbon steel with a sharp edge out the box.

[@GearReviewDepot]

power play 4 real Not a bad blade, didn't last very long though. Broke the tip off, then gave it away.

[@stevanoutdoor]

I like the review but what's with the gloves? Is that the new American thing?

[@GearReviewDepot]

Dutch Bushcraft Yeah it's this new thing us Americans do on really cold days, we put on extra clothing including a hat and gloves. Pretty crazy isn't it?

[@stevanoutdoor]

Probably a cultural thing indeed. You probably also shake hands with someone wearing gloves. ;) We don't.

[@GearReviewDepot]

Dutch Bushcraft So during the winter or really cold days you don't wear extra clothing? Maybe a hat or gloves?

[@stevanoutdoor]

Yes we do. We just don't make video's wearing stupid gloves. And when we shake hands we take the gloves off. That's all. ;)

[@stevemartin9046]

Why is it every time I see this Dutch Bushcraft guy commenting, it's a snidey, bitchy dick comment?

[@dragon3831]

Please forgive my ignorance but, to me... this doesnt seem like a bushcraft style knife. I see it more of a fending off a bear attack knife while your out camping, and the price seems right.

[@GearReviewDepot]

dragon3831 I agree with you somewhat. I guess the question would be what exactly is a bushcraft knife? For me, it would be any knife that I can do "bushcraft" kind of chores with. I guess it depends who's hand it's in. I'm no bushcraft expert by any means so I wouldn't be the best example. It certainly does most of the tasks easily that's for sure. Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment. Be safe.

[@tomworth3239]

A bear lol

[@powerplay4real174]

What would you prefer that GI Tanto or the USMC KaBar. 👍 for GI Tanto or 👎 for USMC KaBar

[@nonjaninja4904]

KaBar obviously. USA made.

[@jeredsyn1964]

Hey Tim, yeah everyone says good things about that knife. For $30 you can't go wrong, I would get one and I still might but I'm tied up with my latest addiction "folders". I have my eye on the Fox Karambit at this moment. Be careful out there, it's easy to get cut, trust me on that one, gotta keep my head out of my ass and maybe I wouldn't keep getting hurt. Take care.
