Immense?

[Capt. Carl]

I looked up the colossus to see if it was out, and it looks like it’s now called the “immense” on the site. What’s that all about? Also the font is ugly as hell with a dumb name.

The whole company should be renamed China Steel.

It really does sound like something a Chinese company would name a knife

I dont know, maybe he didn’t want to be involved so they changed it? But they’re still using the design so…

Good idea.
Mike if you see this, i love the colossus design. My favorite cold steel!

Heretic sells a Colossus named knife, so maybe there was a conflict?

 

[Capt. Carl]

Im assuming they just used a thesaurus. I did too. Should have gone with “Brobdingnagian“

I could do without the billboard on the side of the blade

They missed their chance to call it the Yuge.

I saw somewhere else that said that another knife company had trademarked Colossus.

So they had to change it because of that.

Must be Heretic as they have the next to the name.

 

[Capt. Carl]

The Greeks really should have trademarked it

I have to wonder if the rear window of Lynn Thompson's truck has "Thompson" in huge chrome looking letters across it

I never really paid attention to the Colossus when it was sold in the past, but if they made it in AUS steel at a reasonable peice, I'd probably grab one nowadays, just to fart around with. The design seems an odd match for premium steels and a premium price, IMHO.

 

[not2sharp]

They should have just called it the “Big C”.

I have no idea why they decided to change the name. I’m very much disconnected from all current CS offerings.
