Cold Steel's Atlas Lock Test featuring the new Engage 3.5"

Its perfectly correct , for you to have your current preference .( Please allow me to have mine . )

But , this is the COLD STEEL forum , not the SAK forum .

Basically , the whole idea of Cold Steel is (or at least was) for hard use .

For me , this "hard use " folder stuff is dead serious , because the exact knife chosen for this purpose might mean life or death .

And to some , I'm sure that is "silly " . ☠️

PS : I have absolutely nothing against SAK . I own and sometimes carry two different versions of the big RangerGrip .

Very useful in a survival situation , but not having the strength of many Cold Steel .

Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law!!!
No disrespect but I was lovin cold steel back when Lyn Thompson had a six pack😆
You might be a hard core operator like the legendary "Gecko 45"
And Im not gunna question or challenge that... I'm just sayin that different ends of the knife lovers spectrum look silly to those at the other end, you can poke fun at me, with my little sak, but I promise to never again ask you to measure your big bad hard cold steel "knife" against my tiny slipjoint
I say to you only this....
"Crush your enemies!
See them driven before you!
And enjoy...
"The lamentation of the women!!"
My life does not depend on my knife...I hope if yours does...you choose wisely😘

Great that you are so sure what life will bring you . :rolleyes:

In over 70yrs I've only needed a car seat belt exactly once .

That was when I was 16yo and would probably not lived to see 17 without that belt .

You pays your money and takes your chances ! 👌

I think you and I are in violent agreement. I definitely see the efficacy of a hard use folder, and there really are so very few of them out there. To me, a fixed blade is cumbersome. I can carry it easily, I can use it easily, but all too often it takes more hands to secure it than a folder. And I’m just not going to be carrying a fixed 90% of the time. Whereas I’m ALWAYS going to have a folder, unless I’m in an airplane or in a courthouse. So, it is best to have a folder that can be trusted to fold ONLY when you want it to. I’m much more about it staying reliably locked than I am about it being able to statically withstand the weight of an engine block. This ATLAS doesn’t seem to have that reliability. The triad does.

AND it’s beastly strong.

Agreed!
