Yes! The Cold Steel Kobun is an awesome self-defense Fixed Blade, in my opinion. Because, it's very concealable for it's size. And, it's big enough to be intimidating and deadly in combat. Right on, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Yes, Wild Bill. And, I wish they would bring back the fixed blade Oyabun... The Kobun and the Lite Fixed Blade Series of the Tanto and Outdoorsman rock, too... But, I like the Secure-Ex Boot Sheath, of the Kobun, better. Oh... I have a surprise for you on the way... Stay tuned, Bro! :-) :-) :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto Yeah Stiletto I love surprises and I have one for you! I just got my 1st Ruger pistol the SR9. I also picked up a Ruger hollow point knife made by CRKT designed by Ken Onion. They are both AWESOME!!! (PEACE) WILD BILL
Good question. Cold Steel used to send them to me every time they came out with new one's. But, the new GSM CS hasn't done that with me. So, I don't know; I'll have to check into that... Peace, Stiletto :-)
Me, too, Bro! :-) And, the Kobun, in my opinion, is a awesome lightweight fixed blade series that's super easy to carry and handle; I absolutely luv them. Peace, Stiletto :-)
Cool name for a cool knife , Lynn comes up with real fun and serious names for his knives at the same time. You made another good purchasing Stiletto. Be nice to see all of them side by side at some point ,the new and older Kobun by CS . Very self-defense oriented designed knife.
Yes, I like the Kobun and Oyabun names and stories behind the names. :-) Note: The Taiwan versions are the same, except for the Secure-Ex Sheath. The Japanese version has a different blade polish or finish and the sheath is made differently, too... But, other than that, they are basically the same as far as blade pattern, size, weight, steel, and handle design and materials. But, I can do a video with my old and new one's; great suggestion, Bro! Peace, Stiletto :-)
Are you talking about the items that are no longer available and are highly desirable? If so, yes! That's why I have spread the word, to buy all that you like, now... Because, as soon as they're gone, the Collectors will start selling theirs at full retail at first and go up from there... That's what usually happens in the Knife World. That's why, many of us invest in our blades; we know they will increase in value when they are no longer available, if we keep them in desirable condition. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@chrisirick4317 And, it looks like GSM CS isn't going to continue a lot of the old items... So, many will go up in value... My advice is to get what you like, now, before they are gone and only available at Collector's prices... And, if you want to sell, I would wait until the Online Dealers are out of stock of everything... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
:-) :-) :-) Inside the waistband carry is my least favorite, due to my being a "Touch" overweight... :-) :-) :-) But, of you don't have that issue, I say, "Go for it, Bro!" :-) Right on! :-) Enjoy that Serrated Kobun; I am a major Cold Steel, Kobun (Soldier), and Oyabun (Big Boss) Tanto Fixed Blades. Great choice, Bro! Enjoy! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
They're around 4.4 ounces. Super light and super easy to carry and conceal. The Kobun is a great Self-Defense Value, in my opinion, if you live in a place that you can legally carry them. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Anyone have a better way to fix the teeth of the serrations? I love them but when they chip... On that note has anyone ever sent back a cold steel serrated blade? I haven't done it before but willing to send my knife over to repair chips if that what it takes.
Yes! To me, it's the biggest bang for your buck under $100.00... And, yes, it's one of the smoothest operating Cold Steel Tri-Ad Lock Folders on the Planet!!! I not only luv to carry this lightweight Tank, I luv to fidget with it, too... To me, it's one of the more fun Tri-Ad's to own, use, carry, and fidget with; I absolutely luv the SR1 Lite, it "ROCKS!!!" I am glad you got one and can experience it and like it as much as I do... Right on, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Mate I still think your Lynn Thompson's lost love child brother? Well you've done it to me again brother.... After watching your review and seeing other examples online of what this monster of a blade can do, I gave myself no other options than to hit the fire button on a serrated beast as well! Man what premier piece of kit this blade is and then some? Mate can I ask you a couple of quick questions, only if and when you find time? 1. Tell me brother, what's the sheath like that comes with it and 2. What's you method of keeping the CS serrations at their optimum level of sharpness? Only if you you find the time my friend, no rush.... Cheers, Muzza
The Kobun comes with a Secure-Ex Sheath. And,I never use my serrated blades; they, for me, are strictly for SD... And, the reason why I treat them that way, is because, I don't want to have to re-sharpen them... :-) The knives I use for everyday cutting chores are the one's I can re-sharpen easily... So, they tend to be my plain edge folders... I hope this helps... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
@@Kris_Stiletto mate you have to check this out! th-cam.com/video/865P9YxpIKI/w-d-xo.html Steel removal is zero%..I was thinking about your Kris blades and serrations.
I like theses knifes price point is awesome serated or plain edge I owned 3 of them all serated. Broke all 3 of them. they need to make them out of carbon steel be a lot stronger. I was really hard on them to be honest cold steel way. Also the clip that they come with is really junk it really doesn't do anything to deploy the knife. The sheath is good just have to find a way to hold it better. The sad part is I bought one of the drop point throwing cold steel knifes. That had a better sheath for under 20 a couple of years a go. That's not just for throwing it a good camp knife that's why I bought it. I have beton a lot of wood with that haven't broken that because it's 1050 carbon steel. Kobun come with a better sheath paying more money.
Kobun's, "ROCK!!!" They're light, flat, full tang, strong, easy to conceal and carry, and super fast in hand. All Cold Steel Fans should have at least one, in my opinion... :-) :-) :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Yes. I have it on my wishlist. I want the Collectors Edition, Oyabun Flipper. But, I am going to wait until everyone gets stocked to see what the prices will be. Yes, I am watching to see how the prices turnout. Right on! Peace, Stiletto :-)
Right on. You should only purchase and use what you're comfortable with. Personally, I only like serrations on self-defense knives. For knives I use for utility purposes, I prefer plain edge knives. I don't use serrated knives for everyday cutting chores... But, always purchase what you're interested in... :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
This is absolutely one of my favorites, I'm a big fan of serrated knives. This one feels really good in the hand. A definite must have.
Couldn't agree more! Kobun's and Oyabun's "ROCK!!!" :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I just ordered my first Kobun. Also serrated! Cool knife. Light and nimble and those serrations, gives it a wicked bite! Can't wait to get it!!!
I think the Kobun Series, from Cold Steel, absolutely "ROCKS!!!" Great choice! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
You have the best Cold Steel collection I’ve ever seen!
Thanks, Bro. And, thank you for watching. Peace, Stiletto :-)
Beautiful knife
Right on! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Carry very well kept mine in my pockets fit good handle might still out put really good 👍 to carry EDC

Right on. Always catty things in ways that work best for you. Right on, Bro! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Dude what's the overall size and weight of that serrated version?

Did you see The CS Oyabun flipper, limited edition? List @ $250+?
Knife center shows you can order them but not in stock yet!
I Love carpenter jeans for carrying a fixed blade , in tool pocket... it’s not the easiest to pull or put away but it’s easy to carry everyday!
