I agree. I have purchased multiple GSM Cold Steels, and I have yet to detect a decline in quality from the older era.Honestly, other than a few hiccups like unsharpened machetes… the quality is still there.
Every post-GSM knife that I have purchased has been perfect. I just got a GSM era Survivalist in today. The fit and finish is perfect for a knife at any price, let alone a $60 dollar knife of this size.
If the service issues could be fixed, Cold Steel could once again be great.
I’ll mention that sometimes items come unsharpened, but that might have been the case back in the day as well.
I’ll also emphasize that the service issues seem to be a big problem.
I had also mentioned to him on the phone that having Lynn appear in more current videos is probably a good idea.
I’d like to get some more feedback from more people, so if you know anyone that has ideas, please send them my way.
EDIT: I was considering starting a thread for this, but I’m worried that it might get a lot of wise ass responses.
