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"

[@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.

Well Col. Thanks to you I have carried the recon for over 6 years. Even bought the ex large for travel. I'm done. I'll carry this knife to my grave and leave my collection to my grandson.

[@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..

BIG QUESTION Cold Steel Luzon Large vs Kershaw Strata XL ? Today, the large Luzon is $39. and the Strata XL is $70.

I would pay more for a better mechanism.

@@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.

[@joeframo3347]

Luzon yes I have the 6-in and I think it's great a great protector 😎🖐️👌👍😍🤠💖 thank you for sharing this video

[@HonzaZ]

Well I started EDC Cold Steel Kobun. Why? Because I can and I really love that knife.

[@Hercules1-v9m]

I bought one (the 4 inch) as soon as they came out. I love it.

[@americantaxpayer]

Current edc blade is a microtech ultratech. Just switched yesterday. Was carrying a rajah 2 paired with a manix lightweight

[@jhilgartner17]

I am a huge fan of the medium. I’ve carried it for several months on and off and used it as a non tactical knife for LE duty. Cold Steel knocked it out of the park again.

[@Edgearoth]

I love all my Cold Steel knives. I carry one over all the other brands that I own. Spyderco, benchmade, microtech, SOG, kershaw etc all suck compared to my cold steels.

[@davidcarson7855]

if gear checked, I will have a Vaquero XL or a Rajah 2 or Hold out XL and an Opinel 10 or 12 and a Victorinox Tinker and if I get a Luzon, it will be the larger one--the Espada you showed is the large--the XL Espada has a 7.5 inch blade

[@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.

[@drew1381]

Dude! love the JROTC pin. I was U.S.A.F. JROTC CA 954th! Love it!

[@NoNamer123456789]

I just bought the large one and while it is overall a nice knife, there's one major flaw: When you flip it open with some force, the liner lock overtravels and gets stuck in a position where it won't close using your hands, you need a piece of metal or w/e to close it. Tightening the pivot screw doesn't solve the issue.

[@DrewEdwardBacklas]

Like everything but the liner lock.

[@hindsight2022]

It has a secondary lock that is bulletproof .

[@cupajoe7258]

I've carried the 6 inch for about 3 years. I like carrying it blade forward in my left front pocket so I can pull it for an ice pic grip to give me space if I need it to pull my firearm. pick grip goes strait to defense position from pocket... it's my please don't touch me knife.

[@heithwatkins]

I love it. My Buck 120 is only 8.3oz.😎😎😎

[@danbrookes2997]

They cost a lot more here in the UK. I'll stick with my aluminium scale ti lite 6 I got in 2012. Good looking knife though.

[@phymat1]

Completely agree. Not to mention they’re sold out pretty much everywhere over here.

[@gblades5618]

My wife bought me the 6 in. Luzon. I laughed when she gave it to me and I love it!

[@petemitchell6788]

Sorry for the silly question, what is a Marshall blade?

[@billmorrigan386]

LOL. He means martial, tactical, military-ish.

[@sinqros]

Getting a Luzon thanks” I used to own the Kobun Tanto, bought an SRK San Mai VG10, great knife” just picked up the Cold steel Outdoorsman Lite, in 4116 German, don’t care for the case, but like the knife..

[@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.

[@thercadventurer4422]

I agree full heartedly china is putting out some tough competition I never thought I would own a high end custom knife feel knife and twosun knives bust them out amazingly with d2 or s90v for insanely cheap prices via Ebay can get a custom knife for $20-$110 bucks insane when you figure similar offers generally start at $110 and go up to $400-$600 and up! From american and European offerings I am also excited for some of the new cold steels coming out for 2020 i.e. kris blades and the scout...

[@Excalibur01]

I just got the LARGE and DAMN this thing is huge

[@Mr480junkie]

I have both Luzon's and enjoy both. Carry the 4 inch daily and the 6 inch is my fun factor !

[@jackdanielzx]

i have a knockoff coldsteel ti-lite. great knife. then i got an actual cold steel ti-lite. my new edc. the knockoff is absolute trash by comparison. great company. the owner seems like the nicest company owner ive ever seen. i got my first cold steel knife (voyager vascero XL). after getting it, i immediately got the tanto, and the ti-lite and a few others. when i showed the vascero to my dad, he stuck it in his pocket. claimed it as his and tossed me a credit card to buy myself a new one. theyre that good. hands down favorite knife company.

[@GrumpyBearArms]

I have to send back the one I just received. Too much metal for the liner lock to engage. So now I get to see how good customer service is.

[@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.

[@Spike-13]

Love the knife show recently also👍

[@snakebite210]

An excellent nutnfancy knife review on Thanksgiving morning. Thank you very much!

[@nutnfancy]

Thank you!

[@mikea.6608]

Just picked up a Cold Steel Voyager. Love it!!

[@infra_r3d133]

Just got this in the mail yesterday for $40 bucks, the 6 inch blade!I have the XL G10 Espada (Love it) and this blade still surprised me and made me giggle when I got it in my hand! 😆 Anyways, I wish that they had this version...a cheaper version...and a G10 version with AUS 10. This clip is not bad, but I’m working on sanding down the clip because it gets caught so deep sometimes when I’m attempting to “wave” it from my pocket... Thanks Nutn’, I’m a newer Patreon guy and I’m starting to branch out to your other gear vids. Love your work!

[@infra_r3d133]

...and your Philosophy vids are on point.

[@murph9464]

I’ve wanted a Luzon for a while now the clip is what’s keeping me from getting one, because I would want to carry left side. I already have my Recon1 right side.

[@heymr-matthewmaier]

My Luzon bounces closed when I wave it sometimes. I will be removing the quillion that waves the knife... maybe. I’m not sure yet
