So stoked to see the return of the Colossus and the Recon 1 XL! Also very stoked to see the Holdout get some extra love, one of Cold Steel's most underrated blades. Y'all are doing a great job! Thanks, Stickman.
@celticviking577 the only thing I could imagine needing a bit of modernization is the sheath not have a fixed polymer clip. Get rid of the clip, and anyone would be pretty ok with adding a pull-the-dot, DCC clip, ulticlip, etc.
Compared to that other CS "salesman" i saw on BladeHQ on YT the other day; I am warming to the Stick man ....at least he makes an effort and seems to have some enthusiasm for the CS tools .... 😀👍🇦🇺
I saw the hold out on the table and got hopeful that you were bringing the 4" hold out back. The 3" hold out is one of my favorite knives but I'd really really like one a little bigger without having to go double the size.
That Frenzy is my kinda folder, long and rugged but lightweight. My absolute favorite folder, even over my Benchmade bugout, Hogue Deka, Spyderco Kapara and PM2 , is my Cold steel Broken Skull, 4 inch blade at 3 oz., carried it for years but had to retire it when they discontinued it. This Frenzy might be the new replacement.
You know what I'd love for 2025? If you're customer service would actually reply to emails. What would make it even better is if I could get a replacement pocket clip for my XL Espada.
Stick, if you read this, please let the product planners know that the premium 60 series deserves better than the blackout treatment. Yes, I've been buying each one to show my support. But I will buy them all AGAIN if they are offered in a classier finish. Consider letting some of the titanium luster shine through (at least not in black) to frame the handle scales and offset the blade. I understand these are not supposed to be 1:1 clones of the originals, and that's fine by me. Great lineup, by the way! It's going to be a good year. And congrats on your thrower - I'll be sure to pick up a set as well.
Im loving the Recon xl and those minis. Im glad your using xhp again thats a big surprise. I hope the quality control is back up to par because ALOT of the more recent crap has been disappointing compared to how Cold Steel was for decades.
I hope you guys don’t over price yourselves and going big I always think of Cold Steel as a big bad affordable knife company and I love the Recon 1 xl and the other stuff is good too
6.7 ounces for 4inch blade is not lightweight, frenzy is longer and lighter than that. But i am interested in recon xl and short frenzy, hoping they wont exceed prices of knives like regular Talwar and Holdout.
I've been buying and using Cold Steel since the late 80s, even carried a Carbon V SRK for a decade in the Army. The prices on some of the newer stuff is disappointing. Like the Razor Tec fixed blades, 4116 for those prices is an insult. Glad I have a ton of the old stuff that still gets used.
1:02 Thank goodness the Colossus is coming back. Lynn said it didn't sell well and that's a tragedy because the broad leaf blade with a pocket catch opener has got to be the perfect 4" utility blade. Now we just need a 5" Colossus to have the perfect 5" utility blade.
I love that you bring back of the custom series. The full black is not my thing but it looks nice on the black sable somehow. I thought this was a normal back lock back then🤔. I might have to get the black sable.
Wow!! I try to get out of knife buying, but GSM Cold Steel socks me right back in!! I love seeing the older and discontinued knives getting resurrected for the new year. 2025 looks to be a great year for Cold Steel!!
Looks like some fun items for 2025 from Cold Steel! I will be getting an XL Recon, and I like the Tri-Ad Sable and the New, Small Frenzy, too... :-) Well done Stickman! :-) Peace, Stiletto -)
Some I like some don't, but that's me. Please do at least one of them without that coating especially shiny like that, something classic satin, stonewashed, Hatamoto is great example for it, compare classic look on the old version and this... Some things just doesn't fit well together.
So sickkkk. ive been begging for the Colossus for a minute. Now they need to revamp the desperado and bring a new shape to the voyager series. That push knife looks insane. It reminds of Katar or a Chilanum dagger.
Haha mall ninjas everywhere rejoice! It's Cold Steel time! Lol in all seriousness, good seeing the Recon 1 XL come back, I've got an old worn out one made of AUS-8 that needs replacing. I always liked how thin it was for the length of blade while still being sturdy.
So how many more products are you going to cheapen like you are doing with your machettes which is made from Chinese 65mn and made in China . And what is worse you want even say they are made in China on your website , so when it does not list where the product is made from pretty good chance it is from China /
They actually have some, but not all, quality blades now. They use to be king of the gas station stamped blades, however they have some custom items now
Looking forward to the upgraded Cold Steel Bushman Folder knife: - different colors of the case but no G10, though, stay with metal case) - better and ticker blade steel - bit longer and wider blade - no hollow grind, stay with flat or saber - bit longer blade This is one of the best knives out there even with its current locking system though it lack on performance as bushman's knife due to the steel which is not that good for hard use out there in the wilderness.
Biggest regret was not getting a colossus when I had the chance...love the line up, nice to see hatamoto return too...but they Kriss dagger looks like flea market mall ninja junk....eye of the beholder and all that i suppose
I ordered a master hunter in 3v, the primary grind was so far off center it was almost a single bevel. I’ve recently ordered a couple cheap Chinese knives that came with better workmanship… it shouldn’t be.
@michaelschnitzer4054 Just from the fact that you are ordering Chinese knives. I would be willing to bet that the Master Hunter you ordered was a Chinese counterfeit.
So stoked to see the return of the Colossus and the Recon 1 XL! Also very stoked to see the Holdout get some extra love, one of Cold Steel's most underrated blades. Y'all are doing a great job! Thanks, Stickman.
Forgot to mention, I'm also excited to see Andrew Demko working with Cold Steel again, as well as more CTS-XHP in the lineup.
Recon 1 XL!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yes XL RECON , I’m buying that. Hopefully in MAGNACUT
Gotta have the Tanto version! 💯
P L E A S E , PLEASE, Please, please, bring back the Desperado! There's a whole market of guys that would love a defensive blade with its specs!
Cold Steel!!! Do this!!!
@celticviking577 the only thing I could imagine needing a bit of modernization is the sheath not have a fixed polymer clip. Get rid of the clip, and anyone would be pretty ok with adding a pull-the-dot, DCC clip, ulticlip, etc.
@@Drater-the_slow a fair assessment.
Yep! Had one. Illegally seized (push dagger bad : but it's not a push dagger!). Need another one !!!!! 🥴👍🇦🇺
@ Based lmfao 🫡
Look forward to the Midway USA sales when the price comes down to what it should have been released at originally.
Right? Severely overpriced since Lynn Thompson left.
Love Midway!
OMG THE BLACK SABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S A NEEEEEEDDD
Such awesomeness!!! Glad you guys listened and brought back the Recon XL. These all look great, I'll have my eyes open for each one! 🙌
Been waiting a long time for the Recon 1 XL
Been waiting so long for the recon xl resurrect. In xhp steel. Yeah Boi
Finally a kris blade with a double edge! Very nice!
YESSS!!!

Recon 1 XL *TANTO* ! Obviously
Obvs !!!! 😀😆👍🤘🇦🇺

This looks pretty sweet. Steel choices awesome 💯
You know what I'd love for 2025? If you're customer service would actually reply to emails. What would make it even better is if I could get a replacement pocket clip for my XL Espada.
how do u break a pocket clip? 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻
Customer service was always sh!+.
Also when Lynn was in charge.
They may respond, but most often they did not.
Great selection of new cold steel for 2025! You guys are gonna cost me some money this year😂
Waiting on the 5 Max Scout to come out.
We all are!!
Excellent offerings! Love to see the Medium Espada polished G10 in S35, or CTS please, and the Broken Skull. Thank you!

Great
Some different styles for carry
Nice selection
That's a cool idea, the Stick throwers. Cold Steel, always innovative!
Im loving the Recon xl and those minis. Im glad your using xhp again thats a big surprise. I hope the quality control is back up to par because ALOT of the more recent crap has been disappointing compared to how Cold Steel was for decades.
You're
I hope you guys don’t over price yourselves and going big I always think of Cold Steel as a big bad affordable knife company and I love the Recon 1 xl and the other stuff is good too
That Recon looks sweeeet !
But I think my next CS knife will be the AD10 Titanium .
Hope I can get it here in Europe ... and for a reasonable price .
Pre-ordered 2 of the Recon’s!! Love all of these. Great job Stick!
I was so excited to see the black Sable come back just to see that you guys get rid of the left-handed clip.
Give me the AD10 in carbon fiber !! And take my MONEY !!!
Had my AD10 in the front pocket today, love that knife.
Incredible line-up!😮
You really made Cold Steel great again😊.
What would be great is a recon 1 with a satin blade.
6.7 ounces for 4inch blade is not lightweight, frenzy is longer and lighter than that.
But i am interested in recon xl and short frenzy, hoping they wont exceed prices of knives like regular Talwar and Holdout.
Thanks for sharing the items with us 👍🏻
First, and making a list on what to get.
I've been buying and using Cold Steel since the late 80s, even carried a Carbon V SRK for a decade in the Army. The prices on some of the newer stuff is disappointing. Like the Razor Tec fixed blades, 4116 for those prices is an insult. Glad I have a ton of the old stuff that still gets used.
The old stuff is good, GSM current not so much
1:02 Thank goodness the Colossus is coming back.
Lynn said it didn't sell well and that's a tragedy because the broad leaf blade with a pocket catch opener has got to be the perfect 4" utility blade.
Now we just need a 5" Colossus to have the perfect 5" utility blade.
All sick looking blades. I'm for sure getting a couple of these. The hardest choice is which one first?
Will you ever make Ti-Lite with a Triad Lock and a decent hand guard?
Tri ad black sable and colossus? Hmm gsm winning me back over.
You mean Platinum Equity. They acquired gsm. I like cold steel nothing has changed for me still better than the rest for what I like
@LivingTheKnifeLife oh okay I wasn't aware
Still a great company with great people selling superior products at a fraction of the price of the competitors!
The lineup is awesome!!!!!
I love that you bring back of the custom series. The full black is not my thing but it looks nice on the black sable somehow. I thought this was a normal back lock back then🤔. I might have to get the black sable.
Nice lineup!
Greetings!
Cool knives! Cold Steel as always pleases its fans!
Wow!! I try to get out of knife buying, but GSM Cold Steel socks me right back in!! I love seeing the older and discontinued knives getting resurrected for the new year. 2025 looks to be a great year for Cold Steel!!
Frenzy for me.
Hope to see what Joe does with these...
Bring back the regular Recon 1 in XHP, you know its going to sell big.
I have an original one, best overall pocket knife I've ever had, going strong for over a decade. CTS-XHP is extremely underated blade steel.
Looks like some fun items for 2025 from Cold Steel! I will be getting an XL Recon, and I like the Tri-Ad Sable and the New, Small Frenzy, too... :-) Well done Stickman! :-) Peace, Stiletto -)
Small Frenzy! Nice!
Will the Recon XL return in the tanto version as well?
It better!!
Awesome lineup and that's awesome you got the stickman throwing blades can't wait to see videos of you throwing them 😎🤙🏻
Still really want a cold steel smatchet or two. Wouldn't have any of those still laying around would you?
I want an old school polished black sable. But, im glad you guys listened to the customers and brought that design back AND the XHP!!!
Bringing the hatamoto back into production was a good decision.
🔥🔥🔥
I’m not sure when my heart exploded, but I assure you, it has 🤯
I'm not allowed to have a knife, but if I could! It would be "COLD STEEL."
❤👍
EXCELLENT line up ❤!!!
that frenzy 3,5" sounds like a dream come true. i am freakin amazed! i was asking for that in some comment a while ago. this is just wow!!!
...great seeing a number of item's that were in the 2005 catalog being re-introduced...plus...I LOVE The Wasp 3.5!!!
Hatamoto looks great, shame it's a liner not triad tho
Couldn’t agree more … definitely needs a tri-ad lock on that model
Some I like some don't, but that's me. Please do at least one of them without that coating especially shiny like that, something classic satin, stonewashed, Hatamoto is great example for it, compare classic look on the old version and this...
Some things just doesn't fit well together.
would love to see the Recon M1 in the spear/drop point blade shape
I'd love a larger Kyoto 2!
I had to resubscribe to the channel was wondering why i hadn't seen any new videos. Keep them coming
Wow those are all awesome 🎉!😊
Looking good. I was hoping for a 4 inch Mayhem. Looks like you made the equivalent!
Best update to Cold Steel in a long time!
A return to Cold Steel roots with the new XLs? 🤔
More from the Spike series PLEASE 👍
The mini frenzy is so dope. Gonna sell fast
Recon 1 XL is on my bucket list!
So sickkkk. ive been begging for the Colossus for a minute. Now they need to revamp the desperado and bring a new shape to the voyager series. That push knife looks insane. It reminds of Katar or a Chilanum dagger.
Haha mall ninjas everywhere rejoice! It's Cold Steel time! Lol in all seriousness, good seeing the Recon 1 XL come back, I've got an old worn out one made of AUS-8 that needs replacing. I always liked how thin it was for the length of blade while still being sturdy.
That’s nice!!
We also want
Recon 1 xl in spear point , tanto
Recon 1 magnacut in spear point , tanto
And the medium size holdout in s35vn
OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!! 2025 is gonna be crazy!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSSSSS
I am loving the Recon 1 XL!
So how many more products are you going to cheapen like you are doing with your machettes which is made from Chinese 65mn and made in China . And what is worse you want even say they are made in China on your website , so when it does not list where the product is made from pretty good chance it is from China /
They actually have some, but not all, quality blades now. They use to be king of the gas station stamped blades, however they have some custom items now
Loving that mini wasp!
I have to get a few of these into my collection!!!! Absolutely badass!!!!
The Holdout throwers are sick!
Would really like to see the Mini Wasp in a stainless version!
Wow awesome additions I was hoping you would bring back the recon xl and xhp very nice!
Looking forward to the upgraded Cold Steel Bushman Folder knife:
- different colors of the case but no G10, though, stay with metal case)
- better and ticker blade steel
- bit longer and wider blade
- no hollow grind, stay with flat or saber
- bit longer blade
This is one of the best knives out there even with its current locking system though it lack on performance as bushman's knife due to the steel which is not that good for hard use out there in the wilderness.
Recon XL is the best! Glad to see it’s returning!
Those are a couple of nice ones for sure.
Mini wasp will be my choice
How funny would that be if T was ice skating behind stickman?
Recon 1 XL ftw. So glad it's coming back
That Sable is like a Persian tanto!
guys will u make any new swords this year? I miss the old cold steel :(
Mini frenzy 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When are they going to come out with a budget friendly AUS10 5 Max?
Biggest regret was not getting a colossus when I had the chance...love the line up, nice to see hatamoto return too...but they Kriss dagger looks like flea market mall ninja junk....eye of the beholder and all that i suppose
Bring back the Sisu!!! Fixed blades are the new folders.
I'd love a black sable. Really on a trailing point combat knife kick.
I ordered a master hunter in 3v, the primary grind was so far off center it was almost a single bevel. I’ve recently ordered a couple cheap Chinese knives that came with better workmanship… it shouldn’t be.
@michaelschnitzer4054 Just from the fact that you are ordering Chinese knives. I would be willing to bet that the Master Hunter you ordered was a Chinese counterfeit.
Should bring back the 1stGen Recon 1 handle, with the triad lock or even bring back the crossbar lock that was used with thick omega springs.
Hopefully a US made Trailmaster.
Thats what i want too. Maybe with a cheaper steel.
Love it STICK MAN!!! YOU ARE THE KNIFE MAN
I would like to see some flippers in cold steel lineup. Recon XL
The only knife I’ve ever had the blade snap off while using to carve was a cold steel recon. Been a CS fan for over 40 years until that happened.
