It's hard to beat Cold Steel In the value department. Almost always the strongest and cheapest blade is a Cold Steel. Fortunately for other companies people also go for the looks and the place where it's made. Also a lot people doesn't like Lynn Thompson because he hunts and other people doesn't like the gruesomeness of the Cold Steel ads. Me personally I love Cold Steel.
Love cold steel and the ads are no nonsense. But they just cannot be found near me and I've lost over 13 packages in the mail. So I refuse to order stuff now
Thanks for you informative review. Just got the Kershaw Dune Tanto as a gift. There is a way to carry it around the neck where you always know which side the blade is on (with out the cord spinning under shirt) and it will only resheath one way. It deploys fast with a quick squeeze.
I love both! I don't own either, but I like how they look haha. I think people should get both, at the price they go for, why not! The Dune, I can see only using it for belt carry, or appendix carry, being deployed in a reverse grip. I think that's probably what the Dune would actually do well, but like you were saying, you can't really get a good hold on it in any other grip. And with a very very small finger guard.. I'd be nervous using the Dune in a thrust attack.
Love the Spike it’s my EDC blade I like that I can just drop it in my pocket and it disappears it’s more a Mini or Pocket Fighter than a neck knife I carry it in my waistline or in my pocket FANTASTIC BLADE!!!!!!
+WeAllJuggleKnives I was having fun for Halloween saying famous Dune quotes but add the word pumpkin before spice. Some of them sound hilarious.. "He who controls the pumpkin spice, controls the universe!"
I am really looking at the cs bowie spike because not only could it be used defensively against an animal or some such, but it has a shape to it that would be fine for small or even large game and food processing, the only big hit is the fact that it doesn't have a lanyard, but the blade shape and the fact it's easy to clean and has a sheath that is better than the usual afterthought sheaths you usually see is what sells me on it.
I agree about the Cold Steel Scottish Spike and the Scimitar Spike (I have both). Why they discontinued them is really a fault of theirs. They are the best neck knives!
+WeAllJuggleKnives Yes, I see what you mean. Really, when I look back on my comment I'm surprised that I made such a statement. It was not a cool thing for me to say.
+Teachering No I mean it was a good comment, because for once someone didn't just comment on Lynn or the company but focused on the actual specific knife.
I have the coldsteel spike and made the mistake of using it for utility purposes one time when I forgot my pocket knife. Wrecked the blade. I know it only has one purpose and utility is not it, I just wish the steel was stronger.
For these purposes, the 4116 steel on the Bowie, because even though it is relatively soft steel, it can be easily sharpened or re-sharpened to a super "fish filleting" sharp edge.
0.4116 ain't nothing special, but I'll take it over 3cr13 anyday. So sites even have it listed as 2cr, but I think that's a mistake. 4116 is at least passable, and some pricey hunting knives from Europe still have that steel today. I agree about cold steel discontinuing the best of the old stuff. That seems to happen to often across lots of brands. Perfect example is the Kershaw launch series. All the good ones are gone, and were left with lanky ass weird knives, and tiny cali legal letter openers. They got rid of 3 knives in the most popular edc size range. Pisses me off.
Boker even uses 4116 in some of their integrel neckers. Yeah, I wish Kershaw would bring back the Lahar and the Cyclone, those would still sell well today!
WeAllJuggleKnives Definitely! Even though I'm kind of a poser, I have no formal training lol. I love the idea of having a defense blade though. Like I said, both a sweet! Looks wise I'm leaning towards the Dune, $23 on BHQ with free shipping right now.. Hmm..
they get me feeling.....stabby LOL good stuff man. I agree CS should have put a little more variety to the spike blade shapes, like the handles though. keep it real

The dune is much more concealable The spike is not really a neck knife. Neck knifes are meant to be hidden. When you cut the paper with the same motion they both stick. LOL
A tale of two shanks.

The ABC is nicer all around.

Yeah I'm on cold steel side too

i like the looks of the Dune ALOT
+JW's BulletsNBlades The book was better. LOL.

+Arctic Gator It would definitely slice up fish or mammals really well.
+Arctic Gator I have the standard blade shape and it hangs on my fishing vest. Very unobtrusive and light weight.
The spot where you put the lanyard is on the sheath.
yes, i woukd definitely buy a scottish spike with the new handle styke
I would as well
I agree about the Cold Steel Scottish Spike and the Scimitar Spike (I have both). Why they discontinued them is really a fault of theirs. They are the best neck knives!
shank on bro! need you for Zombie Apocalypse 8! special guest star. only requirement is.. must drink beer!
+Tactical Thanks bro, I will be there!
Good honest review.
I like em both, but I think I'd go with the kershaw.
Mason Thornburgh same
@ but if the sheath is bending wouldn't that mean the knife is bending as well. not sure still which would be better rigid or flexible.
My favorite old spike blade shape is the talon point!
You should keep doing these brother, thanks for the info! would like to see you pit more blades against each other
+snow man I'll try!
Both cool knives in their own way. I prefer the Cold Steel because it's the better knife.
+Teachering Objectivity?! This is something never before seen in a comment about Cold Steel.
+WeAllJuggleKnives Yes, I see what you mean. Really, when I look back on my comment I'm surprised that I made such a statement. It was not a cool thing for me to say.

Shoulda compared the tanto spike
I have the coldsteel spike and made the mistake of using it for utility purposes one time when I forgot my pocket knife. Wrecked the blade. I know it only has one purpose and utility is not it, I just wish the steel was stronger.
As always excellent review. Thank you Sir.
I own all 7 models Spike knives first series. They are gorgeous knives. My favourite it's Scottish Spike🙂.
Excellent, I bought 3 of the Scottish Spikes when I heard they were discontinuing them :]
i would rather have the stiffer sheath so the blade comes out better and doesnt bing if there is pressure on the sheath
Tokyo Spike is my favorite, out of the Spike series.
Scottish Spike is my favorite, it's so shank like.
I just really like that Cold Steel.
why don,t you try the fiskar x3 and the new aranyik model
Hey Iz, any recommendations on a Dune sized knife with better steel?
Thanks for the video!
+Ben Romney Thanks for watching!
do a crkt yukanto vs crkt obake vs kershaw dune ... same concept, same "type" ... but diferent in some small ways
What's the best utility neck knife around 4inches? Thank you.
4" blade length...
would anyone recommend the bowie spike? Or should I keep looking?
Great job
Thank you, friend.
What's the better steal
For these purposes, the 4116 steel on the Bowie, because even though it is relatively soft steel, it can be easily sharpened or re-sharpened to a super "fish filleting" sharp edge.

can the dune be used for a c throwing knife
+NaruHinaShipper Forever yes
WeAllJuggleKnives it seemed like it would have an advantage in that do to its design
Really cool review thanks a lot bro..
+Mariano Mesa Glad you like it!
Great video btw!
+sherman614 Thanks, man! I know you are all about the neck knives and defensive blades!
WeAllJuggleKnives Definitely! Even though I'm kind of a poser, I have no formal training lol. I love the idea of having a defense blade though. Like I said, both a sweet! Looks wise I'm leaning towards the Dune, $23 on BHQ with free shipping right now.. Hmm..
who else wishes the cold steel bowtie spike was a folder
they get me feeling.....stabby LOL good stuff man. I agree CS should have put a little more variety to the spike blade shapes, like the handles though. keep it real
+Macho Deth I love the old Scottish Dirk Spike, it sent a message, and that message was hate mail LOL.
much better than "nutn fancy" (sorry TNP) .... but More to the point.... thanx again..... gonna buy this

+Tardisius If he had this spike he would've been Jack The Slicer.
Nice
looks like you could really conceal the dune
I like that Arrakis... I mean Dune knife. :)
I've heard good things about cold Steel knifes. I'm going to get one eventually. Well they claim to be the best quality.
The dune seems like a model sword or mini sword more than a knife.
I think it is supposed to look futurist, like that book/movie Dune.
Yeah, I guess I can see that. It's no stillsuit though
Stabby and grippy. I'm going to assume those are the scientific terms you're using. Good video man.
+Captain “The Iron Wolf” Arminius they are LOL
WeAllJuggleKnives Thought so. I shall add them to the record books! Lol
The dune is much more concealable The spike is not really a neck knife. Neck knifes are meant to be hidden. When you cut the paper with the same motion they both stick. LOL
just picked up a dune.. nothing for the size is as concealable as the dune. righteous.
prison shanks lol
+Dan Miner For when you rule the main yard and nothing moves without your say so and you get a piece of it all.
Dune needs a finger choil
I vote dune
Pretty good. A like from me :)
