Wow, I want a bunch of knives from that table. Cold Steel is killing it!

[@The_Chosen_Juan]

I love the Viking Seax! please Cold Steel make a XL version

[@BareArms8]

I second this x 1000

[@jorgefernandez6407]

I'll second THAT!!!

[@RaulGomez-ji2qv]

A cooler, stronger Spyderco Yojimbo that would be.

[@callendavidson2054]

That whole “chicken chopping” bit was one heck of a tangent 😂

[@nikosfilipino]

I've been carrying a fully serrated voyager XL on an off for about 3 years now. I got it right around the time BLADE HQ did the road trip video from cold steel back to the shop and i met up with the guys for a pocket check. I gotta say, I was not a serration kinda guy for my edc however Cold Steel's serrations are so gosh dang sharp that i've been able to do most of my day to day cutting tasks with no problem. The serrations are so sharp and so fine that while it does rip through material it does it with a cleanliness that lesser serrations would normally just mangle. If you were ever conflicted about serrations i definitely recommend Cold Steel stuff and it'll change your mind

When Lynn Thompson was born, he cut his own umbilical cord with a bowie. 🧐

😁😁😁

[@bryanmuster5662]

I was nervous when I heard that cold steel had sold. Genuinely worried. But somehow, it looks like they are just getting crazier. Love it! 🤠

[@muscleinwiththechef]

One knife ESPADA XL s35vn tri ad lock system best ever made. Proof tested. 🤟🏻

[@bryanmuster5662]

@@muscleinwiththechef Word up! That thing is a BEAST! I've got a collection of their stuff. My daily carry is the Luzon XL. For the weekends, it's the 6 inch ti-lite.

[@zbrewha863]

Other knifemakers: Our blade is durable but still easy to sharpen, and comes in a variety of colors! Cold Steel: The serrated edge is great for going through clothing and biting into flesh. It ... *stares off* ... it will do that.

[@brandonwayne2343]

W comment lol I'm cracking up 😆

[@redclayscholar620]

Spyderco: We cut. Victorinox: Anything, Anytime, Anywhere. Cold Steel: Watch us cut this pig in half! THAT'S A LOTTA DAMAGE!

[@chadcolton528]

It will indeed, do that

[@jessstirland8338]

😂🤣 PERFECT 😎

[@Goetterdaemmerung]

Greeting to Joex - love this guy and bought my CS SR1 Lite after his destruction video

[@Jadeite12]

Oh... That SR 1 Lite... Who wouldn't buy it after seeing that video where all hell was brought down on it and it just wouldn't surrender...

[@robertmorano2372]

I absolutely love cold steel and I'd love one of those choppers! That being said, if it is indeed $500, I'd just as soon get a terava skrama. Or I saw condor has a machete coming out that goes with the terrasaur line for around $70 MSRP.

[@iamgroot4080]

JoeX is from Austria and is still waiting for the promised knives for testing mr cold steel. And for the guy from Blade HQ... first day on the job? Dagger for the diver? Ok ace...

[@gadgetstalker2]

Liking the Mayhem, hopefully with a different color handle. Also the clip point Ti Lite. I don't have a Ti Lite yet but that may be my first

[@AlanSpringer2074]

I’d love to see my boy JimiSlash at that table.

[@dreadfulldimitri]

Im sitting home, drinking my hot evenimg coffee next to a fireplace, and I just remembered how is it that Mayhem is NOT in my store, it should be ages ago. So I took my phone, searched for Cold Steel Mayhem and this video comes out first. And in it its said that it will come in store in 3rd or 4th quarter of the year. Ok, previous one was just a prototype and we will have two steels to choose, thats nice. But one thing is missing....still missing. Guys, as owner of Cold Steel Espada xl, shiny mk1 version in aus8a steel, I gotta tell you..... Put that Demko's thumb plate on that Mayhem. Its a big blade and it deserves to have that function. Without it, its a no-no. Especially in a self defense situation. In nature with a group of people, owner can allways use both hands to open a blade normally, but in any case of emergency....that thumbplate helps a lot. So put it on Mayhem, otherwise Spartan will be a better blade.

[@_laude__]

20:28 Joe X is really badass. It would be awesome if you guys would work together.

[@jb7707]

Id love to see what JoeX comes up with if he had Cold Steel's resources to go towards his testing.

[@SnAzZingtoN115]

I wonder what JoeX's CS Collab design would look like

[@pawliemorph3941]

I like BIG Knives and I cannot lie

[@powerplay4real174]

JOE X Yup he knows about knives a Cold Steel is obviously his favorite brand , because they hold up like no other 🦉⚖️🦉⚖️🦉

[@andrew_moon]

The redesigned blade on the kobun is a big win

[@marshalllaw123]

Oh sweet baby Jesus a cold steel 5Max?!? Living the dream!

[@Outsidecontext]

I’m getting quite an XL collection. I’m going to have to now get another insane monster folder. Awesome.

[@JamesWilliams-gf8gm]

I like most of these. The people that say quality has gone down don’t know what they are talking about. A $100 recon 1 makes a $400 Benchmade seem like junk. I own several of both. The benchmades all have blade play, uneven grinds, centering issues. Of all the cold steels I have there is not a flaw on any of them.

[@nicholasevans9627]

A lot of Cold Steel's I bought had uneven grinds including the Recon 1's that I have.

[@liamroarke7991]

And Cold Steel weigh a ton and a quarter, have the carry profile of a dead rhino, and an absolutely non-existent aftermarket. Hard pass.

[@charlesheidbreder5092]

I bought a large luzon I liked the knife until the pocket clip broke and they won't replace the pocket clip so I have a knife I can't carry I'm very disappointed with Cold Steel 😢

[@rabbitdaze2243]

​@@charlesheidbreder5092they actually make a belt sheath you could get that also still auto deploys the blade

[@charlesheidbreder5092]

@@rabbitdaze2243 thanks for letting me know but if I'm going to put it in a sheath I might as well have a fixed blade

[@soulzzplaysgames]

So the Mayhem's gonna have a 'light' version. Appreciated.

[@marekburza7425]

Cold steel has been and continues to be my favorite knife company....... Got one clipped to my pocket right now.

[@edgardarndt1481]

Keith, What a cool Dude ...Love the new Knifes .

[@nafis6668]

That Kobun in S35VN is very interesting.

[@Every_Day_Aaron]

Keith is quite the character! 🤘😁

[@powerplay4real174]

More good ole Cold Steel ⚔️💯⚔️ Still putting out intriguing knives for blade enthusiasts and aficionados alike.💥

[@technophile419]

Looks like it's time to get vintage Cold Steel products before they disappear.

[@markcoffman494]

Really good line up!

[@TheDanteBoots]

The silky nata was the first time I ever saw one of those knife axe hybrids. Such a useful tool.

[@davidb1975a]

Bought my first Cold Steel knives a couple weeks ago.. 4Max Elite, AD10, and AD15. I think the Engage will be my next.

[@vegangreen1269]

Did you ever end up getting one?

[@davidb1975a]

@@vegangreen1269 Not yet.

[@vegangreen1269]

If you still want one I have a new one ei though the box I’ll sell for cheap. Reason I’m selling is because I got the limited edition carbon fiber one as well.

[@jeepnicc]

SIGN ME UP FOR THE 5 MAX!!!!! But it has to have the Tri-Ad lock.

[@gumbihilt1333]

I love the look of the Mayhem, and can't wait to add a couple to the collection. That said... The Atlas lock is a bummer. I love the idea of it. But what I've noticed with the Engage, it that it's super easy for it to fail on opening. If the meat of your fingers happens to be in the right (wrong?) spot, the blade will open but the lock won't hit. Might not be a problem with something the size of the Mayhem? Time will tell. Even if it just ends up in my pack, I've got to get my hands on it.

[@Calvictus360]

I need the viking saex.

[@carloscaballerodetineo4062]

Una obra de arte , felicitaciones 👍👍🇦🇷

COLD STEEL ~ 1980-2020 🕯

[@thechugdude]

Get to the Choppa! Brought to you by Cold Steel.

[@HicksOutdoors]

Bring back the Immortal cant believe it got discontinued but that Viking Seax is going to be a must have for me .

[@bobbyjohnson492]

Need this asap!!

[@ESP500]

When will these be available?? They are not on the website. I want the swift

[@Number1DriversSeat]

Tell Coldsteel to bring back the triple threat.

[@jorgefernandez6407]

I like that Wharnie! The serrated edged Counter point is mine as soon as it's for sale and the Jimi Slash Chopper and the new 5MAX are on my shopping list too!!! I honestly don't know about the Mayhem, yet...

[@jorgefernandez6407]

I really like the spear too! Perfect steel for salt water!!!

[@hyssean12]

It's not just about weight hanging. The tri ad lock doesn't develop play when used hard. There is a atlas lock test on KZbin and it develops blade play after testing when the tri ad is still solid.

[@ultimaetsolder]

Can't beat the Tri ad.

[@chuckfunderburk7964]

I have a double edged Cold Steel push dagger that I carry EVERY day. Razor sharp, easily concealable and deadly. What else could you ask for????

[@baleavitt]

Great! Now I'm drooling!

[@bruceleroy8063]

How's the kydex sheaths coming along? We're tired of your Secure X that dulls the blade after the first draw. Thanks.

[@cwslim]

I need that new EDC viking blade, and the axis lock assisted opener!!!

[@emwu1988]

Must have new Kobun!!! And the Broom-spear!

[@JayJay-iw7dl]

New kobun is nice!!!!!

[@EphemeralRage]

Yes

Yes - Ben G

[@libramoon9968]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah !!!!!!

[@0470Hitman]

Also just had to say, PLEASE make a modernized AK bayonet! No one is doing this! When did Survivorman start working with GSM? Lol Also excited about the new designs, would love to see a counter point with that long blade in a shorter handle somehow. Or even some GIANT OTF knives with that Cold Steel lock strength.

[@rafterrs]

Very, very nice. 🤩🥳🇳🇴

[@renegade6807]

You guys did it again 😁

[@risingwind8943]

Now cold steel needs to make a 8" version of the mayhem with the same shiny style as the espada xl. Would buy that in a hearbeat.

[@StoningXStephen]

Gib me da "Mayhem" now!!!

[@mihaidragnea9785]

I love how they are embracing the new atlas lock. With innovation I think it will be as sturdy as the triad if not better and it’s certainly much better for edc. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

[@gregorygolden1296]

My RECON-1 suits me just fine. They can have all them new ones.

[@jedBSME]

That mayhem will soon join my collection.

[@dmg4415]

Two real knife nerds! It would be fun to be a fly on the wall when they meet in the bar, when nobody else is listening.

For a moment there it was like you were talking with Mike Ehrmantrout.

I cant find any info on that assisted opening swift, any one have any info? Would love an assisted ooening cold steel blade!

[@jasonweeks6318]

Ok that viking one has me sold. must have..

[@Toxica_Intoxicada]

The moment I saw the mayhem, i immediately thought "yes, yes!". Just something about large, beastly and intimidating looking knives always grabs my eyes and wallet. People complaining about the big sizes and looks clearly like puny pen knives and hate fun apparently. Hey i don't blame anyone who lives in a commie state or country but if they are legal where you live and you still complain about these, just tell me in another way that you work in a cubicle 9-5.

[@yeulakho6574]

Huge Mayhem😂😂

[@austinpina456]

We want to see a 5 Max scout Aus10a blade!!

[@RogerF]

Good video 👍

[@badmunkyedc1]

A Jimislash chopper!?! Hell yeah!

[@BackyardKnifeDude]

1:25 Mayhem nice shape but I would like to see it with a 4 inch blade. Do that and I will give you some money.

[@the_realist_John_Doe]

Already available at your local carnival or fair. Just gotta get enough tickets.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

You probably couldn’t afford them at Walmart either.

Walmart would be a step up for this adolescent fantasy flea market crap.

[@jared8530]

Glad Cold Steel did not go to crap after GSM buy out...they even still have Lynn working his knife magic.

[@seanlowkey9388]

Then need to make an auto. Recon 1 auto, nuff said.

[@The4cp]

Not really say it a few more times maybe they will hear you. I want a G10 S35VN 4 inch voyager too.

[@BareArms8]

Been waiting for this since last shot show. This is an ultimate folder for those that get it

[@michaelhernandez410]

I wish Cold Steel would bring back Japanese steel in their blades. I'm still using my 4" Voyager with AUS8 Japanese steel and plastic pocket clip. Used it last week on a camping trip. Still holding up.

[@Prosecute-fauci]

Pretty sure their AUS10A is Japanese

[@erbenlegend3613]

cold steel still killing it imo!

[@rickgrimes1016]

I NEED that seax folder

[@koskey06]

Man....Cold Steel was always the working man/ knife guys brand..... Quality products that are not just made but TESTED to work above and beyond what its made for and all for a fair price!..... Now its a bunch of rich old guys sitting around a table wanting to make more money so they can sell the company again in a few years and make even more money..... I hope Mr Lin starts a new company that offers REAL knives at the right price!

[@mannygonzalez5936]

What is the name of the spear and when will it be available.

[@niqvuk]

When is the signature kobun being released?

[@lvtuba]

So…. I have to wait almost another year for the Mayhem? Dang.

[@xtian5399]

George, you're doing a wonderful job. The negative comments must come from people who simply hate change or think themselves to be perfect. Whatever the case, keep doing what you're doing

[@poland_stronk3044]

There will be normal price Kobun with this new blade shape right?

[@BRB_Guitar]

The spear head used to be a shitty SOG knife that every review on youtube broke. They discontinued it a couple years ago, I think it was called the sog spirit. Cold steel and SOG both being owned by GSM, looks like they wanted to put that shitty “spear” out with cold steel’s logo on it this time.

[@dtester]

SOG is re-releasing that one too. Hopefully they have been improved. There is a slight head shape difference between the two.

[@FriedPi-mc5yt]

If Cold Steel is making it. It’s bound to be better than SOG’s version.

[@mentaljake67]

I still have the SOG version. Never really do anything with it other than screw around.

[@BRB_Guitar]

@@FriedPi-mc5yt They are basically the same company though. Both companies are owned by GSM. Cold steel knives are starting to show up at walmart’s and academy sports. Cold steel isn’t what it used to be. Consistently going down hill after the GSM takeover. GSM has done away with cold steel’s lifetime warranty

[@chrisjosekuehl]

The sog wasn’t threaded .

[@PkwyDrive13]

T6 hardware on the mayhem.. Is that for real?

[@nicholasevans9627]

Will these go through single person quality control line?

[@toastedjoke]

Yeah, I heard 5-Max? I was excited for the Mayhem, but now, oh boy…

[@fasterblade1819]

DUDE WHO DECIDED TO SAY HEY LETS RUIN THE CS MAYHEM AND PUT RED ON THE G10. The knife is perfect otherwise

[@badmunkyedc1]

Bring back the Colossus!

[@liamroarke7991]

That new lock seems to be a direct challenge to the compression lock.

[@___.STALKER.___]

No

[@M3RRIH3W13]

My fave pocket sword is my Spartan. Is there a more perfect big guy knife? I think not. How about a Mayhem for a big guy with a similar name? Lynn keeps making great knives. Jimi Slash Chopper is a monster, too.

[@gatorbite3351]

I have been a Cold Steel collector and user since the 1980's. Now I am retired and still love their products (especially the Mayhem) but they have become so expensive that I can not afford them anymore. That is ashame

[@MrBlessed70]

Thanks for the video!I would have LOVED it if Cold Steel would have revamped their classic models(like Espada,Spartan and Recon models and other),added The Atlas locks to them and upgraded the steels to(a very good budget steel like Sandvik 14C28N and top tier steel like CPM Magnacut or other.I BELIEVE if Cold Steel would have done these changes to these models,they would have created a brilliant year and beyond for themselves and for the consumer too!Also a 4.5 inch Mayhem model(their new model shown) would also be great as a preference choice like The Cold Steel of old.

[@Spitfire7]

Nah. Atlas lock performs worse than the Triad lock, which is why a lot of cold steel fans dislike it immensely.

[@kenmastersmaster]

What's wrong with aus10a?

[@jeepnicc]

While I commend Cold steel for trying to innovate, the Atlas lock ain't where it's at! Stick with the TRI AD for now!!

[@Capthowdy098]

1:08 New EDC the Artisan Proponent was feeling a bit dainty.

[@Slippindisc]

Is cold steel quality still there since they sold? I want to buy some knives from them but I don’t want to find out they’ve been Remington’d
