I think that You have never seen a custom knife before... That tanto style os called Japanese style tanto, original one FYI. Color is fake like You Thompson, You have some trees behind You for beautiful contrast. And BTW... You have nothing to this joke of a knife. Somebody else designed it and probably China or Taiwan produced it

Another totally badass creation by the Man, The Myth and The Legend Lynn Thompson. You are the greatest. Not sure if he’ll see this but I just wanted to say awesome job! Lynn and Stick and T are the best. Love your videos and love your products. I’ve been carrying The Mayhem everyday and I will say that it’s awesome and I can’t wait to get my hands on the new Kobum and I know for a fact that it will not disappoint. Keep up the great work

That really is one handsome knife. I'm a big fan of that shade of green and for anyone that collects Cold Steel is gonna think the signature on the box.

XL Voyager Tanto is my favorite main knife. I carry at least one everyday everywhere I can. My favorite back up is the Tiger Claw serrated, that one goes in my left pocket reverse so if my strong hand is attacked or bound up somehow I can pull the tiger claw out with my left hand, catching it with the wave plate on my pocket and it snaps open edge out to counter any threat. A SanggletoothMF on the XL Voyager tanto makes it even more awesome!

I prefer my serrated American Tanto Kobun in comparison to the Japanese Tanto Kobun without serrations for SD. It's such an evil cutting machine. Nearly as nasty as BTII serrated which I EDC since the first day it came out with XHP steel. Thanks for everything Lynn. Because of you I have a big collection of CS folders and fixed blades of all generations. From your very first two hand opening Tanto folder, Shinobu Large, to your last folder and unbelievable massive Hidden Angel. It's sad that so many fans of yours in the US didn't have the opportunity to grab your last masterpiece...

This is the Cold Steel Outdoorsman blade in the Kobun body. That may be a perfect hybrid of two Cold Steel knives. I'm going to pick one up for hunting. You ought to consider issuing this in orange too like you did with the SRK. I think you made a light hunting knife. Ounce counting mountain hunters would be into this. It's only an ounce heavier than Benchmade's Steep Country but the blade is 2" longer. I have a feeling you could easily dress an elk and fillet a salmon with it.

This looks super slick. Love the different blade shape on this model. I'd really like to see a video, or maybe even a short documentary about Lynn as "the father of the American tanto," where he discusses the history of the blade, the utility and unique capabilities of the blade shape, what sparked his interest in them, and what attracted him to the idea of bringing them to the American market. I'd be very interested to hear his take on it, and I'm sure many others would too! It would be a great piece of history to have documented for the knife industry, and especially the knife community!

@johnroberts66959 ай бұрын
How is the Kobun (as a knife) better than the Outdoorsman Lite? Obviously the green version is a collector's piece {why are they mostly black?}. The Amazon price for the stock Kobun is about $45, but the green signature edition is nearly $170. That's a lot for color and some polishing {and the signature}. I would _love_ to see a glow-in-the-dark version! But speaking of polish, I really miss the old Voyagers, the blades thereof which were polished. The stone wash finish is perhaps the ugliest finish for a knife I've ever seen next to a Parkerized finish. The DLC is great, but when you open the blades at the same point every day, it doesn't take long before white spots form on the blade and the flippers. I think Cold Steel has the _BEST_ heat treat in the industry. And while some people berate AUS8A as a low-grade steel for neanderthals, I have several brand new Pro-Lites which ain't for sale (and they're the best 440A specimens I've ever seen, better far than Böker and SOG budget knives). Years ago I spoke to a tech guy at Cold Steel, and he didn't even _try_ to hide his contempt for 440A, even the stuff CS had apparently purchased at a great price. He seemed to think CS was going in the wrong direction, but those 440A blades had some of the most vicious edges I've ever seen on a knife. I had Night Forces, Pro-Lites, Recon 1s in both plain and serrated blades. And I couldn't tell the difference between 440A and AUS8A blades.
