I am looking at buying one and have had difficulty finding any reviews on the knife. If there are any owners out there or just people who know their knives, please post back.
 
I got one of the first ones in AUS 10A when they first came out. It is very clunky opening and closing, and the handle isn't comfortable. It still sits like new in the box because of it's clumsyness.

There are so many better knives for the money I couldn't even begin to count them. The steel has been reduced in quality since then IIRC. Joe L.
 
just get a balisong, did you see the video on it? is sounded like it was made of pot metal...
 
I too have an aus10 one, there is a method of flipping it similar to a butterfly.its not a bad knife,but i rarely carry it,theres much better choices for the $ than that......
 
I've got one, and I think the idea is very interesting; I can whip mine open or closed in the blink of an eye. But the execution could've been better. If you flip it fast like I do, it starts to wear very fast. I don't understand why the handles are made of such soft, unanodized aluminum.

Most likely to keep the production cost down.

I don't own one, but the idea of using a knife such as the CS Triple Action, with no handguard and a razor sharp blade just scares the crap out of me. :eek:

Maybe that's why I don't own one.
 
I saw one several years ago. It's definitely one of those "Love 'em or Hate 'em" designs. It can be quick (blade deployment) but it seems too much a novelty for me.
 
The one I've got is a decent knife...it's got a few flaws that need changed by Cold Steel...for the money, I'd personally shell out of the money for a Cold Steel Scimitar, Ti-Lite, or Voyager (the 6" of course :D) before the Triple Action...
 
However, if anyone wants to get rid of one for a deal, a double-edged one would go nice with my tanto...I'm still a faithful CS addict.

At a gun show I stopped buy their booth and played around with one. It worked well but thats because it was used alot. The design was around long before CS picked up on it. Overall It really did not do anything for me the handles feel cheep I think the aluminum was a poor choice Stainless or Titanium would have been a better.
