Under $100 , but you gotta look around... and don't blab hints or you'll PO the mods (BAD idea ) .

I believe this has a thicker blade than the other 3V , and no DLC on this one either .

Does have a deeper belly , I believe from pics , than the San Mai .

Just ordered one for myself .

I already have an old Plus (with gut hook) San Mai , (Japan IIRC) version and its a great all around, medium length camp knife .:cool::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Supposed to arrive tomorrow ! :)

Taiwan made , IIRC . We shall see . I've read it's back to being thicker ?

I'm probably OK with that . Not as slicey but tougher .

I have an older DLC Taiwan model, and it's a fantastic hip knife.

Its a bit thinner than my San Mai models as well, which I really like.

Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah , that DLC, thinner one , is what I tried to buy before . Pretty sure .

I'd just as soon have a thinner one with the 3V steel .Should be plenty tough enough .

I like the DLC coating also , when available . :cool:

Is mentioning sales from Cold Steel itself acceptable?

IDK , like jdk1 said above .

You could post the link and use the "report" in lower right corner , to report yourself and ask them to delete if not allowed .

Unless the mods are a gunnin' for ye already , should be alright . ;)
 
That wouldn't be worth it.

This place really changed since the time period I was very active.

I just thought of the thread we had a few months ago about a large retailer selling cheap CS knives, and I'm pretty sure they are not sponsors. 😀

I'd think yes....while gsm haven't manned the forum here for long....we had that guy for a bit then he disappeared.....

but besides that
....we can and do list deals on the Buck forum from the Buck webstore themselves and its allowed......
 
Received today ! ☺️

Washed off the grease and used to skin and dice up my fresh pineapple .

Not the most slicey ,best kitchen knife ever . But got the job done OK .

Left the pineapple juices on the knife for several hours , just to see if it would patina a bit .

Maybe a little darker cast to the finish , which is a matt beadblast IIRC . Always mix up with stone wash . (see pics)

3/16" spine and IDK about being deeper bellied .

I have only my old San Mai MH "Plus" to compare .

I sash carried the new one today . Pretty easy to carry this size blade .

Tomorrow I'm gonna hammer this thing thru an engine block ...or maybe just gut another pineapple . :p

Correction : Stonewashed according to CS website :

Retaining it's classic lines and functional design, but with the integration of some of the finest materials in the industry today. Featuring an extra broad American CPM3-V High Carbon Steel blade and honed by hand to a razor sharpness that has to be felt to be believed. The Master Hunters curved cutting edge slices effortlessly through even the toughest hide, while its stout but sharp drop point makes field dressing and skinning a breeze. The spine of the blade is a full 3/16" thick to allow for the necessary strength and stiffness to field dress and skin even the biggest animals. The grip is specially designed to promote long use without fatigue. Made of the shock absorbent Kray-Ex™, and featuring our deeply checkered surface, it won't slip no matter how cold, wet or bloody your hands get, and it will give you a positive and secure purchase on your blade even when wearing thick gloves. Plus, Kray-Ex™ has specially enduring advantages for a hunter, in that it will never rot, shrink, crack, splinter, or mildew, and is completely impervious to even the harshest weather. For safety, the Master Hunter comes in a adaptable and versatile Secure-Ex™ sheath that will accommodate just about any belt, pack or rig. the perfect companion for a dedicated hunter who deserves the very best - The Master Hunter by Cold Steel.

yeah but still lower than what they normally want for them there.....

I guess on sale isn't exactly accurate.....
 
Hey guys , don't forget about new advances from GSM : 🥳

I've seen some wonderful offerings in the new miracle steel , 4034 , in all your old favorites . 🤬

Be some good prices , if the steel was great ! 😒

Maybe someday I'll see some convincing evidence ...gee if "somebody " only did some actual proof tests ...:rolleyes:
