prefer the 6in luzon: bigger, smaller footprint and less $$

i liked the design, but construction on these is really not good. size 6 torx for the pivot and loktide is a bad idea. i took out the spring then it closes better. i dont like assisted, thats why. also way to much little springs and things inside of the knife, makes dissasembly very hard, that locking lever isa separat thing to the lock and has a spring on each side. dont take it apart 😉

I like the pocket lock

IMO the voyager series is the best in cold steels lineup.

Midgards Messer has several with over 5" blade, and I have them all. I only have the Rajah I and the original Espada XL in micarta from CS, since I only collect 5"+ blades that are high end. I am looking for a Maxon Vortex in Timascus (sold out), but they have other, less expensive versions of this 5" knife. Except for certain CS, Maxon, and Midgards MMesser, I don't know of anyone who makes quality 5" plus blades. Please let me know if you find any others.

There used to be a really big Gerber folder with a similar blade shape. I can't remember what it was called.

the lier lock in ti lite models is not so good. I am affraid that it is not safe for user fingers and can be closed during using this knife (if it happend during sef defence it will suck...)

If that thing opened up inside your pocket by accident you would definitely get a Bhaltair.

Don't clean the micarta. Let it "patina" and be your own. Let it be

Awesome have 2 of these Voyager Tanto. Also have several of Cold Steel other XL knives. Three of my favorites are are the XL Talwar, XL Holdout and fully serrated XL Vaquero with Lynn Thompsons signature, all in XHP steel. Thanks for sharing, subbed! 👍

I've had this model for about 8 years now and beat on it pretty hard. Only complaint is that the liner lock has worn pretty badly and allowed it to develop a small amount of blade play. Prior to retiring from the military in 2011 I carried another variation of the M16 for several years as a back up to the Benchmade they issued to me. Quite a few people carried them on deployment because 1) they were relatively cheap and 2) they were readily available at the PX/BX. Chain saw files work pretty well for sharpening those serrations btw.

The answer to can I borrow your knife is:no you may not and don't ever speak to me again until you go buy a knife

One of the best values around! Love mine

The Daggerr Vendetta is 5", the Daggerr Pelican is almost 4" and has a pocket open option on some models. But the Pelican pocket open is not very good. I got my Counter Piont XL from Midway for $44! Watch Midway for deals on CS knives. That's where I got my Spartan, AD15 and 4Max Scout too.

I have one of these with the plastic handle. I never carry it because its just too big for me, but it super cool and I'm glad to have it in my collection. I never would have guessed you had to fix the tip, it looks perfect, nice work sir.

Great tip profiling!!

Great work with the tip! Awesome review, beautiful knife!

Yeah, I don't lend good knives to people... they think nothing of prying with it. (You did a good job restoring the tip.)

👍

Was your friend a moyle?

NEVER lend your knife out! I always carry an SR-1 tanto lite in my backpack for utility purposes. Good luck breaking the tip on that and still, if someone needs a knife, I'll do the cutting! GREAT WORK getting that tip back! Btw, be careful of that liner lock. The GSM Ti-Lites liners can fail if you do some spine taps on it. That really sucks cause before GSM, that liner lock was the "best" in the business... Tap that spine just to make sure...

I can just see the jury shaking their collective heads

Amusing yes. Functional? That's questionable. Large folders are just bad engineering. In this realm of knives I go for a Ka-Bar 1266.

I absolutely love it where can i get me one 😂

Looks thin too 👍

LOVE my Strata... An excellent folder! Good video too btw...

CRKT Ruger Go-N-Heavy

where can i buy this baby?

I bought a set of these on Amazon for my Cold Steel Counter Point but sadly it did not fit I was so disappointed 😞

Slim is good

The expression you were looking for was "bayonett point"

Wow that's a beautiful knife, thank you sir for sharing this video. Another knife to go on my bucket list.

That's a big ass knife

It is so good , I bought 2 for the rotation. Both with snaggletooth for rapid deployment. The steel is around 59 to 60HRC . The blade is wider than normal tanto , thinner behind the edge for deeper cut. The AUS10A is only 18% less edge retention than S35VN . Just don't put 15dps edge on it and chop woods , it is very brittle with such edge. With , 17dps no problem. Great value overall.

Very nice folding knive . the blade is beautiful steel 1095 perhaps ????

Alcohol Cleans it right up BUT just oil the scales and you will get an even color. Wipe it down after and no it wont be slippery.

Actually my EDC , for emergency situations , I have something smaller for opening packages and stuff

Opinel Giant No13

Also a Cold Steel fan. carried everything from the Ti Lite XL to the Rajah 2, the Sheepdog XL with carbon fiber scales is currently in my pocket

I'm probably wrong but have to ask. Isn't that wave feature on there upside down? If the clips pointing down in your pocket and also the wave it wouldn't work would it

TI-LITE 6''

How can I buy that,I have a friend who wants to go to a casket,kidding

Nice

I have 3 Sheepdog XLs and a regual sized one. I have the premium version of the XL and it is really nice.

👍

Do not buy any of this cold steel folders until you try to unlock an folding them. I have the Counter point xl and the Espeda xl and almost breaking my finger to unlock this extremely stiff lock. Nobody will tell you this. So try it before you buy it.

Did you try the Elmo Sorocaba Folding Knife has a total length of 4” sharp blade!

I don't know how to clean that handle, but maybe pressured steam or dawn and a toothbrush

Odin's toothpick is amazing. Extrema Ratio has some awsome cool massive knives
