A New Batch of Wonderful "Sanity-Check" Knives!

And still neither shows the process that I was curious about, in regard to drop forge knives and quality. Though mine showed the product that I was curious about and possibly some of the durability I am curious about. Because I doubt Cold steel or any knife maker is gonna share their "Krabby Patty recipe" and stat ratios.

But the process you showed is industrial drop forge which I already knew about and need no extra info on. Plus the video was lacking in detail and it wasn't relevant to educating me further on knives.

Hot forge, cold forge, hand forge isn't revelant. It's what's done with the steel to make it a quality knife for long term use and ownership.

I can can assume (though I shouldn't) that Cold steel probably has done a better job at Q.C. and processing these knives, better than other company's in its field. Hopefully their consumers are happy with their product and they don't experience snaps and easy dulling. Best of luck to all and happy knife hunting to everyone !
This should should conclude and straighten out the confusion for you since this is a more detailed long winded explanation which I hate doing and abbreviated to this point.

TL: DR I wonder if this company has used this process to produce production knives that are able to reliabley withstand hard use and hold up long term?

1.) CS's supplier also uses an "industrial" drop forge to make the knife being discussed.

2.) How metal is forged is hugely relevant to the finished product. Drop-forging introduces some serious metallurgical advantages to the work piece. That's why they choose drop-forging rather than other, cheaper manufacturing processes.

Your sentences: "It's what's done with the steel to make it a quality knife for long term use and ownership." and "I can can assume (though I shouldn't) that Cold steel probably has done a better job at Q.C. and processing these knives, better than other company's in its field." are nonsensical.

Are your questions actually about about CS's flash trimming, heat treatment, coating, sharpening or some other secondary process once the knife is forged?

Cold Steel HT has traditionally been very good .

I've not seen any indication that the drop forged series is an exception .
