What's your Cold Steel EDC today?

I'd imagine a serrated Black Talon would require a dedicated Lanksy stone for the purpose.
I'll probably opt for a plain-edge version, when the time for acquisition comes.

I think the Black Talon has to be serrated! I just feel that way. It is a 100% SD knife, a weapon, so it looks even more menacing and intimidating with the serrations. I barely use it as an EDC so the S35VN will stay sharp for a loooooooooong long time. And when the time comes I will buy a dedicated CS serration stone, maybe Lansky.
It just looks better with the serrations — although I'm not a serrations fan, the Black Talon is my only 100% serrated knife (I have a few combos). I was thinking about buying a serrated Spartan but finally bought a plain one because it is more practical, you can cut anything with a plain edge, as distinct from serrated — which is good for cutting flesh only.
Anyways, I would buy the serrated one!

Cold Steel Black Talon 2 vs Recon 1 Tanto vs SR1 Tanto for EDC; this is the question I'm considering today. Hmmm...

The Black Talon is the most unusual of the three.
I don't even know what I would buy if I were you.

I'm in love again with my CS Large Luzon. I've seen a lot of arrogant comments about this knife: snarly reviewers don't like the way it opens, the way it closes, the way it looks, the way it smells, and of course the 8Cr13MoV. I can tell you what I like about this knife:

- first off, the way it opens: I like flippers, and this one flips well — but you have to press the flipper tab really hard; I would say I have rather strong hands and fingers so it's not a big deal for me, but I have seen a lot of complaints about that
- solidly made: no blade play whatsoever, given the large blade size
- the size, of course: 6 inches give a lot of competitive advantage
- the looks: sleek clip point looks cool and
- penetrates well
- very smooth closure, you release the blade and it closes by gravity
- and of course the price tag!

I like it so much that I'm planning to buy its younger brother, the 4-inch Medium Luzon (which is already XL!). As to 8Cr13MoV, I'm not above it, you know.

Here is my proud Large Luzon:

Simple Sunday with a Cold Steel "Kudu", Lynn's modern interpretation of the traditional South African "Okapi" knife.

Does this knife have liners?

I'm not sure I know what it means

Oh, I think now I know what it means. And it does NOT seem to have liners:

This will be my edc in my pocket for home and out for a long while. Removing the lanyard, adding shorter paracord. Gaffer's tape for better grip. SnaggletoothMF for easier 1 handed opening. I just love this knife.

Z Zephyr One/Zero , I like your lanyards (or fobs, whatever you call them), although I don't use them myself most of the time

Back in love with knife tails. I was inspired by Z Zephyr One/Zero 's beautiful fobs. Need more paracord, more colours!

As a filipino, C.S. definitely got me in the feels with the Large and Medium Luzons. I have both, and I definitely used to carry them as part of my EDC rotation.

Here you go NotSoDull:

I've been contemplating a new acquisition: either a 5 MAX, or another 4 MAX Elite. Just waiting on the optimum "sale-moment" at my favorite vendor.
