I made a thread discussing the controversy surrounding the new Cold Steal knives with "wave". They have just been added to their website with all the details regarding features, materials, etc. Thought I'd inform everyone.

What do you guys think of a $459 waved Cold Steal?
 
regardless of cold steel's ethics, I can't imagine buying that thing for any price. :barf:

My Momma always told me, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.









That about covers it... ;)
 
I think there's a very good reason why Infiniti, Lexus, and Acura were founded. People want a premium name to go with their premium product. I think Cold Steel will have difficulty selling this product.
 
That is so wrong!! I will NEVER, ever buy a Cold Steel knife. That is wrong on so many levels. And how many threads do we need on the theives anyway?
 
It says in the add on the CS site that the thumb plate is 'patented'. I have to wonder if they mean it is patented alright but not by them (but by Ernie) or if they actually are just telling a bold faced lie in the hopes that it will keep people from taking them to court.

I've searched the patent office web site till I'm blue in the face looking for this patent by Cold Steel and I can't find it but I've found the Wave, as well as several lock and opening devices of Spyderco (Sal) and others but nothing on this "thumb plate".

If any of you guys can find it post the patent number.

I believe there is already one edged instrument called the AK47. Perhaps there should be a torture test competition to see which is most worthy of the moniker.:cool:

Yeah, didn't Boker have exclusive rights for knives with the AK-47 name? Maybe that's passed...

I don't think Busse's sword conflicts because it stands for something different (American Kensei vs. Automat Kalishnakov).
 
Can't you get the Busse for like $450? Guess which one is going to actually increase in value. No, for $459 I'd rather throw in the beer money for a couple of weeks and get an RJ Martin. Of course, you could also get a Kirby Lambert, a Marz, SMF, SNG, AR/GB, custom decorated Seb,...

What a joke.
 
Thats crazy. Maybe if the Talwar was $100 I would buy one. Oh wait, Cold STeel is a lying thieving POS company, and I would never buy one of their knives. I'm glad I sold the one I had...
 
I think CS is on to something.

Have some more or less normal knife manufactured at Seki or other overseas place, the _hype the hell out of them_ and price them 5 times higher then what we would normally expect as MSRP. All you need is a gullible audience of 12 year olds, you wouldn't have to sell as many because of the extreme profits you're making. Keeps you inventory and shipping costs down.

Just think if it was a black coating, add probably $200 to the price right there.
 
:thumbdn: Thumbs down for crap advertising like this:

Additionally, a hard-hitting ball shaped pommel enhances the Talwar’s™ versatility. Made from mirror polished stainless steel, it can be used as a striking tool to deliver blows to bony areas, nerve centers, and other soft targets.

I don't understand why there's a controversy about the "thumb plate" though. It performs the same function as the Emerson Wave, but it is not similar in either appearance or construction.

How about the CS "Ultra Lock" on the AK-47 knife though? It looks very similar to an Axis Lock.
