Luzon: Cold Steel Does it Again

Another big bad knife from Cold Steel. I've always loved these big folding Cold Steel blades as real men should. We'll again see how the Chinese knife industry with their original and well made designs are making it tough for the big knife companies. Cold Steel will be just fine though. That's because they continue to make knives like the Luzon: incredible size, quality, and value you'll get from the Luzon series, both 4" and 6" versions reviewed here. They feature an exterior lock to prevent closure of the liner lock. Don't expect TriAd lockup strength with this but it's a nice feature that can be ignored if you don't like it. Add in good blade steel, long comfortable handle, perfect blade finishing, molded in clip, and waveable from the pocket (!). What's not to like (ok maybe the fart).

Hi TNPrs! Project still strong and working hard. Remember TNP Patreon gets the videos first and some never post on the main channel! Here's some TNPr comments from Patreon, join the fun and full flow of TNP content: www.patreon.com/Nutnfancy "Scott Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Nutn'! 1 2w Terry Eannetta Scored 4" Luzon at Cold Steel parking lot sale last weekend. $33. Love it. Carry on Lt. Col. 1 2w TacticalBunnyCA Happy Thanksgiving to you Nutn and all my fellow Patreons! Wearing my CS Large Espada pared with a Stat Gear Pockete Katakana today! The size difference makes me laugh! 1 2w Adam Boyd I've been carrying the large Luzon for most of the year. Awesome! It's my 2nd favorite defensive folder. (5.5" Talwar can't be beat!) Some days I carry both. I don't usually use pocket clips because I can get a better grip on it as I draw. The advantage of a big blade like that is it stays in position in my pocket. When I try to carry a little 4" blade it's hard to get a hold of. Only problem is sometimes it doesn't lock when I wave it out. Still haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong. Overall...I'd trust it to save lives. 1 2w Powernoodle The big Talwar is awesome, no doubt about it. I have them in both black and blue. 1 2w Load 2 replies Powernoodle The 4" and 6" Luzon cost less on Amazon, especially if you are a Prime member and get "free" shipping. $34.54 for the 4". 2w Aaron Gross Love the videos nutn!

I bought the Frenzy in December of 2017 after your KRV. When I saw the Luzon large last May I bought it. Now I’m going to buy the Luzon medium 4 inch and plan to occasionally carry it. 2 2w The Nutnfancy Project That's funny Doug! I do tend to know you guys pretty well. These knives are so inexpensive it really makes sense to get them as a pair. Then you can swap them out as your needs dictate. It amazes me a cold steel got them built at this price. 2w Incubad I purchased the luzon 4" in October 2018 off amazon and had to return it. The deployment was horrendous and the liner lock was extremely stiff and made my fingers raw. There is also no real room on the thumb stud. The thing that made me return it was the fact that it opened up in my pocket. The tip does not have much protection at all from fabric snags and that's what did it in for me. I returned it and got an urban trapper and CS spike. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Can't go wrong with that Urban Trapper, totally sick EDC blades 2 2w Load 1 reply Austin Langon Interesting comparing the knife industry to the watch industry. Who buys what, who makes what, who copies who, etc. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Doing watch reviews has helped my knife reviews. So much similarity between the two. 3 2w David Englehart That thing's huge (that's what she said). Thanks for making me spend money on Turkey Day Nutn... 😵 lol 2w The Nutnfancy Project You are welcome 1 2w Load 1 reply Jerry Hall I purchased the 4” & 6” from BladeHQ. Both are excellent. No issues with deployment. The 6” is definitely intimidating. Thanks for the review. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thanks Jerry and thanks for using my BHQ links, they help me get these loaner knives. It will also give me .03 cents! 2 2w michael szymborski Any chance of another Microtech collaboration? I’ve fallen in love with the SOCOM, and a TNP version would be sick! I’ve EDC’ed my SOCOM since 2/17 and for me it’s the perfect 1st and 2nd combo. 2w john milochis Thanks nutn my wife hates theses vids mate every time I watch one I buy more stuff all well just ordered mine thanks 😀 TNSheep That definitly screams of a cold steel knife, but sexier than normal. 2w mike I need 2w The Nutnfancy Project You are wise 3min Chris Baker The day after Thanksgiving is a fine time to say THANKS Nutnfancy for all the reviews over the years. My stable is full of Cold Steel, SOG, OKC, Benchmade, Zero Tolerance etc., all on your recommendation. I actually brought a recently purchased Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite to cut the turkey at my parents place yesterday. Life is good :D 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thank you Chris for that kind comment. I seek to serve my TNPrs with high value, great gear for their systems. That it makes you happy makes me happy! 2min david rockwell Your insight is valid regarding many U.S. based knife companies resting upon brand, reputation and hype. The quality, material and design of small U.S. manufacturers like Bradford, Survive and Hogue knives are a bulwark against the Chinese onslaught. Cold Steel has always been an extremely high value knife company due to the vision espoused by Lynn Thompson. Heal well and keep up with the physical therapy. Thank you for the continued effort and dedication. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Thanks David, much appreciated 1min James Parker Thank you. Happy thanksgiving. I am having the same surgery in February. But dang you now I need a new knife. Lol. 2w Tygre Cold Steel just continues to be awesome. 2w The Nutnfancy Project Yeppers 1min Arthur Krieger Awesome review Nutn. Love the philosophy about releasing competitive products. On another note I've been particularly interested in bushcraft knives lately (got a Mora and a Benchmade -- still testing them both -- looking at the Condor product as well) so I'm VERY excited to hear about the Work Tuff Cutmaka. And just more PoU on bushcraft blades, obvious as it may be. 1w matt Awesome review. I have the 6 inch fun to fondle. dont try to over do it with your shoulder 1w Nathan P Hubsch I like that honey badger, I need one. 1w The Nutnfancy Project It rocks just now Todd Strelka I'm originally a Cold Steel guy. Turned on to the brand by Nutnfancy when he gave away CS knives at a get together several years ago. This knife reminds me of my XL Voyager. I love the clip point blade. 5d The Nutnfancy Project I love that Voyager, thanks Todd"

In the 80's Japanese things were all inexpensive. Very. And excellent quality. But for VERY different reasons who Chinese good. Everything used to say "made in Japan" for a long time. Now it all says made in China. Gladly the quality is Chinese goods has come on a long way now (2024) Again, all for very different reasons. Basically the Chinese goverment is subsidising goods sold abroad.

[@deionbeeldenstormer7498]

A full-size Cold Steel Rajah (6” blade) - rapidly deployed in an underground parking garage - prevented my truck from getting jacked by two meth heads. They literally freaked and split, very quickly. When you can’t legally carry a firearm, a big folding knife can and will save your ass in those rare situations when you’re cornered and your life and/or property is at stake. Cold Steel understands this reality. Sheer size is intimidating as hell, and 9 times out of 10 will defuze a bad situation fast. If it absolutely needs to be employed defensively, a large knife will give you great reach, and cause a longer/deeper wound channel. The coolness factor of bigger knives is just an added bonus.

Joyous blessings to you and yours and happy new year!

[@RexApplegate]

I have approximately 8 months of edc use at work with the 6". The steel is sub par and thin, and comes with a very rapidly dulled extreme razor edge. It is not ideal for chores. It is however very resistant to chipping or snapping, and extremely thin sharp and pointy. It is tailor made for maximum legal weapon potential in a place with oppressive laws. My opinion is that as is typical of Lynn Thompson's work, it is a highly refined and very affordable purpose built precision uncompromising weapon, nothing more or less. If you want a work knife in this size, thicker and better steel is what you want, not this. Want an optimal single edge folding fighter? Here it is.

[@albertdominick140]

I found that the scales are horribly made and it won't be quiet if you are getting ready because it makes super clunky plastic noises, and the lock mechanism is also terrible, the scales should had been done in G10 rubber, at least, and the locking mechanism smoother... this is a 10 dollar dollar knife all day... when I purchased a pair at Wish from Fury knives for 19 bucks each that are more solid that should tell you all you need to know..

Luzon is really cool however the Frenzy is my favorite Cold Steel.

[@sneakypeaky6000]

I want a frenzy so bad I was on the verge of getting the sexy blue one but I was a little short on cash so I went with a code 4 which is another great knife. I have a XL voyager anyway so the code 4 was a great buy I can carry both. Wouldn't make much sense to carry the frenzy and XL voyager together.

[@Bear-nu8xm]

@@sneakypeaky6000 Yes, i like the blue one too. Such a cool design and you've won any non gun attack, simply by pulling it out.

[@sneakypeaky6000]

@@Bear-nu8xm yeah hopefully I get one in the near future. Also wanting an XL Espada which is another beautiful knife in my opinion. But yeah that frenzy well she sang to me the moment I saw her in those purty blue handles and sleek blade. To be honest I really wish they made a 3.5" version as well. It would be a nice utility blade for an EDC carry. I'd pay 90 bucks for a 3.5-4" version of this knife.

[@xralphxralph]

I picked up the 4" model months ago when it first came out and love it. Great edc at very reasonable price.

[@Highway9mm]

I'm watching this review exactly a year after it was published and buying this knife before the video ends.

[@Genethagenius]

I’ve been a fan of and using Cold Steel knives and other items for almost 15 years now. Like Nutnfancy says, they’ve had a few missteps, but for the most part you get high quality knives and other products at a killer price. I like blades I can use and try to avoid “safe queens”. If something happens to my $40-$120 knife it’s not as bad a blow as if something happens to a $300-$400 Zero Tolerance or $500 Microtech.

[@ryanreese5885]

Just received my 4” Luzon in the mail. It’s awesome, light and fast!

[@KMAK88]

Any issues so far? I really want one but they are 80 bucks in Australia,

[@ryanreese5885]

K2thaM No, it’s been great. I was able to get it for $29 on Amazon. It’s incredibly sharp. I wouldn’t hard use it but it’s a great buy.

[@KMAK88]

@@ryanreese5885 cheers for the reply, I have heard that the locking mechanism shoots over too far and gets jammed, also that the blade may deploy by accident sometimes in the pocket? I just want a sturdy, centred blade with a fast flip action without the jamming locking mechanism, because I just returned a united cutlery stiletto that had all these problems. Wanna use the refund money for this cold steel

[@ryanreese5885]

K2thaM Makes sense. The lock isn’t the easiest to release but I wouldn’t use the word “jam” to describe it. I’m certain that it won’t deploy in pocket but with some practice it can be waved from the pocket.

[@KMAK88]

@@ryanreese5885 Thanks for the feedback mate, I really think I will buy this knife, looks awesome. Sounds like the majority of the reviews are positive and I will make sure the ebay dealer examines it before sending it. I only wish it were made in the USA, Japan, UK or Germany. The made in china aspect sort of puts Me off, I recently bought a KA-BAR 1211, made in the USA, scary good quality

[@Logan2070]

The 4 inch Luzon and the 4 inch Tanto Voyager are on my 2020 short list.

[@DragonHide94]

Why do you always call the Large Espada an XL? The Large Espada is a 5.5 inch blade just like the Extra Large Voyager, while the Extra Large Espada is a 7.5 inch blade (it also has room for a full two hand grip...).

[@cgr88m]

Gonzo never disappoints. I use my pocket knives for misc tasks so I didn't see the point of spending the cash on a Benchmade, Gonzo is the answer. Under 25 bucks with axis lock and easy to sharpen.

Without watching the whole video... Did they fix the design flaw from the first run?

[@hindsight2022]

Design flaw ? I had mine for about 3 years it rocks

[@TimberMoto]

@@hindsight2022 There are some videos on KZbin regarding the tip not sitting flush with the handle. I read a whole thread about it on one of the knife forums as well. Part of the issue was supposedly the thumb studs not letting the knife close completely.

[@hindsight2022]

@@TimberMoto i cant speak for cold steel but the 1 i got is fine closes all the way no tip sticking out or loose thumb stud

[@jakep111]

Mines fine and I love it

[@freman007]

Yes, in some of them the recess for the thumb stud wasn't deep enough to allow the blade to seat fully when closed. But they've fixed that now.

[@isabellam1936]

The secret sauce to the Luzons are the bearings. Bearings make a knifes action so addictive and fun and satisfying. Benchmade and CKRT should update all their current lines with bearings especially for the price we pay. I wouldn't mind paying an extra $20 for bearings in each knife.
