Buck 110 Sport or CS ?

Yes, I do: more Alaskan Kodiak Brown bears have been killed in tactical hand-to-hand combat by a Buck 110 than by all models of Cold Steel knives put together.

If you had asked Gene moes himself, you can be sure that he would have preferred to have a cold steel espada XL, voyager XL, max 4 etc. instead of a buck 110. Even if you talk like that, if you were in the same situation, your choice would be the same. That's what makes this so funny 😂

He would have preferred a slip joint; because you cut with the edge, not the spine!

If I were in the same situation, I would prefer a rifle. I certainly wouldn't be thinking, "If I had only carried a better knife, today." That's why the discussion of tactical knives seems so silly to me. If I'm forced into a situation that justifies deadly force, a knife is a distant second choice. One knife being better suited for defensive use than another is pointless, if you can carry a pistol, or even pepper spray.

Discussions on this forum of the best tactical knife are routine. I like to consider that a Mercator Messer was "tactical" before I was born and men used to fight with straight razors. Nobody cared back then that the lock wouldn't lift a dump truck.

If you were up against 10 assailants, would you rather have yourself and your assailants armed with clubs, knives or guns?

Yes, a rifle or a pistol is better for self-defense than a cold steel. It is quite natural that there is a hierarchy.

Nobody cared that a lock could lift a truck because they didn't know it was possible. When will people stop attaching romantic meanings to forced choices due to technological inability.

I could hardly consider the Buck 110 a tactical weapon. It's a folding hunting knife.

Son, you come across as pretty confident of knowing my thoughts for someone who’s never met me, so you’re just going to have to trust me when I tell you you’re wrong.

I’m glad that you are as entertained by this thread as I am. :)

Here’s a picture of what is possibly the most tactical knife I’ve ever known. Don’t worry - I can’t expect you to understand, but if you want to set the joking, dogma, and sophomoric attitude aside and have a conversation where learning can occur, let me know. I really do enjoy instructing. But if not, no worries - I can keep poking the proverbial bear for our mutual irritainment - something that is both irritating and entertaining at the same time. :)

I am not your son, and it seems that you have not learned how to address someone you don't know. So you should trust me when I tell you that there will be times when that kind of address will get you into trouble. Yes, it amuses me too. I've always enjoyed being lectured to, but I've never enjoyed being lectured to by people who expect me to trust their baseless opinions based on some mysterious experience that nobody understands, and who label any dissenting voice as sophomoric. So I guess we have nothing to learn from each other.

Note: In my culture, it is a serious insult to call someone you do not know or are not related to son.

Note 2: I don't want to prolong this or get into a quarrel. For me, this is the end of the matter.

Maybe if you're tied up with rope ???? On a sailing ship .

And how are you using the word "tactical " ?

Maybe it's a joke ? OK , very funny ! 🤪
 
Depends on what type of folder you are looking for. Cold steel makes a large folder similar to the 110 and its half the price, but for "tactical" (fighting knife) purposes there are other type of larger folders much quicker to deploy/use in a tactical role IMO.

Cold steel. This is a fact, not an option.

Nope. It's an opinion.

And here we are again. You see, if you just include words/phrases like "I think" no one will have a problem with what you say. However, if you continue to espouse your opinion as fact, I predict more unpleasant interactions on the internet in your future.

Don't be that new guy we have to constantly remind the difference between opinion and fact. The mods will get tired of it, if they haven't yet already.

On topic, without a specific definition of what "tactical" use means (just opening MREs? or the neck's of sentries?) it is tough to make real educated recommendation. And honestly, since we are debating one specific knife vs the entire line-up of an admittedly mall-ninja oriented knife company, I feel the balance is more than skewed towards cold steel. I'd take a recon 1 and be done with it. Just my opinion, or course.
