You specialise in posting Cold Steel videos while offering no comment. Is Man with no name also Man with no words?

I, for one, have no interest in sitting through excruciatingly awful Cold Steel marketing videos. What is your interest?

The thread had several posts discussing daggers so I posted videos of knives I considered to be relevant. If you don't have any interest in viewing such videos, then don't!

Thanks, I don’t and I don’t. But I have noticed that you habitually just drop CS videos into threads with no comment. If we want to watch CS videos, they are easy to find. What is it you like about Cold Steel?
 
I tend to prefer thicker tips, though. Where I can stab through an aluminum can and not have to worry about tip damage(I don't do it that often.. ) haha.

That's actually nothing to any kind of knife with a point. Aluminum can is super easy to pierce and cut. I use it at work for shim stock now and again. I was going to demonstrate with my SAK Mini Champ's smallest / thinnest blade complete with a smug and obnoxious :cool: "Kids . . .I am a professional. Don't try this at home" (could close on finger not being a locking folder).
:rolleyes: But . . . . hahahaha . . . I couldn't find a single aluminum can; we have none in the house and the shared recycling bin next door was empty . . . :( . . . :(
:)
I know, I know : Pic or it didn't happen.

You probably meant paint can; yeah that would test a point. ;) :thumbsup:

Cold Steel Ti Lite is as stabby as I got.

I find it pretty much useless. But I find it pretty much cool.

Just takes a little grind grind to turn the Ti Lite IV into one of my very favorite users. Love this thing.
Want to talk useless . . . the Cold Steel Spike. Skinny and too thick by a lot.
I just had to buy it ! I think it is very cool ! My James Bond Knife.

I've been carrying this little guy the most lately. It's a bit stabby.

Boo’s Blade Smoke has a profile I believe the OP would like. Though it is only 3.5 inches I believe.

My first thought when I saw this thread yesterday was.... Ahhhhh.... dagger thread, not interested.... Opened the thread and you know, I also like my knives a little stabby as I like the clip and saber shapes the best. . .
I thought about my favorite knives and they are all pretty much a bit stubby. . . .

I realized that I really didn't like the knife the first time I tried to open a store clam shell packaging and struggled. I mean..... if I can't easily pierce something like this to open it, why do I want the knife in my pocket?

This was also a revelation to me in many ways and I have pretty much stopped buying slippies that do not have clip blades anymore (with some spear points tossed in). I do like my SAK however as the spear point is stabby enough for me.

That's what I thought wen I saw the thread.
Shows how slow it is around here that I opened the thread.
I'M GLAD I DID.

They’re less than 70$. It is one of the nicest fix blades for the money in my collection. Usually I carry my fixed blades iwb witha static cord but this one I had to put a pull the dot loop on the kwaiken because the handle is so straight it kept sliding down my pants.

F.Perrin, don't remember model name, pic from Fred's instagram.

Douk Douk Vendedouk aka Corsica, designed by Perrin for Cognet. This one is mine, it's slipjoint but with very strong spring.

I love Perrin’s designs. He is an absolute master when it comes to making blades. He is right up my alley too since most his designs are built for great concealability in an urban environment.

Daggers need either to be a hollow grind, combined with a professional edge regrind, Like the above mentioned Cold steel Taipan, or they need to be zero-edged like some of the old Gerber Guardian IIs nearly are. Sharpness is essential to cutting outward in fighting...

A great choice would be the Randall Model 2-8 in stainless, as it has all the proper features a dagger should have: Thin slicy edge, despite the narrow blade profile, length, and the light weight of a stick tang.

An even slicier Randall is the Clinton dagger, which is almost like two very slicy 7" knives welded spine to spine... It felt strange to me however, as I just feel daggers should be narrow bladed: Perhaps with a smaller guard I would have liked it better... A broad blade width always felt wrong to me on a dagger: They can be made slicy without width, but it requires either a thin initial edge (which you can then easily touch up), or a very wide professionally applied bevel...: Never try to do the broad bevel by hand yourself!: This is beyond normal hand sharpening, especially doing it evenly four times...

The great advantage of daggers is they are ground four ways, which, combined with a stick tang, makes them the lightest of all fixed blade for a given stock: Typically 20-30% less than a single edge fixed blade. Don't choose a model that ruins this with a full tang, or large, heavy metal guards and pommels...: Kraton or Zytel wrapped around a narrow stick tang is optimal (and usually old and rare now, unfortunately). Slicy and narrow daggers are hard to get there, but it is possible.

Stabby is as stabby does.
 
Here's a couple of particularly stabby looking Al Mars--the Eagle Talon and Falcon Talon. Nothing there to keep one's hand from sliding up if stabbing anything particularly resistant. :eek:

AHA! But what if you recklessly hack into frozen hardwood with your Al Mar folder? WHAT THEN?! ;)
