Collection Begins

[agilmore01]

My first 3 Cold Steel knives. Many more to come. What's next....? Maybe SR1 Lite?

 

[paul brown]

Well since its not my money.. You're nothing without a polished Espada.

 

[agilmore01]

Any voyager anytime anywhere

I've got the Voyager tanto XL in my shopping list on Amazon right now. Lot of knife for $70.

 

[paul brown]

Since the voyager is the most affordable tri-ad XL folder, it's a reasonable choice. But it's not as sexy as a Talwar. You could buy one Talwar and never feel the need or desire for another XL folder. Something I cannot say for myself owning voyagers. Food for thought.

If you want Magnum Tantos, you can still get them in 3V for under $300.00 if you shop around, and the Magnum Tanto II can be found for under $200.00.

The Magnum Tanto II and XII in San Mai III so far haven't gone up in price.

Good luck with your collection, I hope you get some good stuff before GSM totally emasculates Cold Steel.

It's kind of a bad time to start a cold steel collection. But if you look around you'll probably find what you want. I second the Voyager you can't go wrong

Why is it a bad time?

 

[GAGL]

you absolutely need some Rajah in your life

Why is it a bad time?

Cold Steel has been purchased by GSM. Some of the knives that cold steel used to make they don't make anymore. And I suspect the quality will go down as well. They don't sharpen knives anymore. They don't cover it for a lifetime guarantee. They don't cover normal wear and tear. And talking to them on the phone is like talking to idiots and they don't cover any knife that has been disassembled. So they're basically is no warranty

Why is it a bad time?

Also GSM is using the Cold Steel name to sell knives made of lower end steel at high end prices. Don't fall for that.

Why is it a bad time?

The Cold Steel we all know and love is basically on “borrowed time” now. I was trying to be hopeful after the GSM acquisition that things would continue as usual. But it has become apparent now that is highly unlikely.
Yes, the Voyager line is one of their best bang for the buck CS products. The American Lawman is considered by many to be among the best edc blades you can get…just a suggestion.

 

[JeremiahWeaver09]

i would recommend a recon 1 bowie folder or a voyager xl bowie

 

[PQGK]

or regular SR1 if you can afford it
Both folders are tough as hell.

 

[Juan Lopez]

I'd suggest the chinese sword just cause it is fun.

 

[jbmonkey]

full sized fixed blade......magnum tantos or recon scout or whatever ya like.....

 

[rustinxcohle]

I'd say 4 Max Scout. Imho still the best bang for your buck cold steel and maybe one of the strongest folders you can buy in general.

Every CS collection needs at least one melee weapon...
