The More the Merrier: A Cold Steel Christmas.

[Uncle Buckmaster]

I just received not one, but two new Cold Steel knives as Christmas Gifts from my youngest brother this year!

The first is a Cold Steel Magnum Tanto II and the other an Outdoors man, both are excellent blades, although I did experience some difficulty drawing the Magnum Tanto II from its sheath at first.

Out of the two of them, I think I like the Outdoorsman just a bit more because I can see more practical uses for it, but the Magnum Tanto II is also a terrific knife which is a bit nostalgic to me because the first fixed blade knife that I ever owned was a cheap knockoff of the Magnum Tanto II by BUDK.

Two great knives on the greatest holiday there is, what's not to like?

Very nice UBM. Always thought the Outdoorsman was a great looking blade.

Christmas present from my 90yr old mother. Not bad for $40.

I grabbed a Cold Steel SR1 for Xmas; a solid, tough warblade. This knife stands shoulder-to-shoulder with my 4 Max Scout, AD-10, and Spartan.

Very nice indeed. Others including myself have had trouble with those sheaths. I ended up having someone make a sheath for me. Again, very nice presents!

The Outdoorsman draws easily, but the Magnum Tanto II requires a fair bit of downward/inward pressure on the thumb ramp accompanied by a firm tug to unsheath.

I honestly struggled with it at first, until I figured out the technique it felt like it was gorilla glued into the sheath.
