Straight up pocket sword
You have to respect cold steel for just making whatever they feel like
Cold Steel knives are just crazy but somehow functional. I have quite a few of their blades and love each and every one of them.
Uh.... No I don’t.
Check out the Rajah ...I love it
Its reach will keep the attacker(s) at bay and inflict damage as well. Plus the psychological effect it has on them once you deploy.
Little tip: if the backup safety slide wobbles too much, you can tighten the two screws on it a little bit. Stabilizes the bar quite nicely.
I was like what screws?? Then looks at the lock 🤣🤣
Cold steel is the only companies that is t afraid of making tactical defensive blades. I carry my Tanto Voyager XL a lot as a defensive blade along with a regular edc blade. It’s gonna be great to add this Luzon to the edc rotation.
Edc rotation Jesus yall sound stupid
@@az12223 lmao you mad?? 🥺😂
You said it hoss. I carry CS Voyager XL Clip Point daily, unless I'm on school or county park property (ridiculous laws). I'm considering this Luzon merely due to an extra 0.5" of reach, and the lower price. Why carry 5.5", when you can carry 6"?
Now that's a knife. I have the set, they're so impressive. When I show it people get their minds blown. I have them in my rotation.
I’ve had my large Luzon for a couple weeks. Carry it every day. Love it. When I show my friends they about shit!!
I got this about a week ago. I Love this knife, very solid, no side-to-side play, no rattling, everything on this knife is tight. I find it odd that yours rattles like that but should be no big deal. Got this knife very sharp out the box. MIght want to be careful with sheeple though if you pull this thing out in public, I'm never more than 5-10 min at a location anyway so I don't give a shit what sheeple think. I do use this knife for self-defense when I'm bike riding and half to roll through shady parts of town. Nut jobs here sometimes carry large kitchen knives so I have to carry something just as big, and easy to conceal and this knife is perfect. Canadian laws are STUPID!!! knife carried in a pocket like this is illegal, but its okay to carry a hunting knife on your belt!! BUT if you have a nice, expensive, knife, a crooked ass cop WILL take it and keep it without even charging you!!!
That knife is huge. I love it!!! It even looks big in your Favorite saying "large size hands"
A friend of mine bought the Large Luzon. We were at his house and I brought my Cold Steel Counter Point XL with me. When we deployed our blades from our knives, the clack sound on his Large Luzon was louder than my Counter Point XL! I was impressed with his knife, which was less than half the cost of my knife.
Cold Steel's XL blades are absurd, and nothing I actually need, but I love em anyways and I already got this ordered(got the smaller one too).
I like that that's xl folders I never have to worry about putting it back in the holster or moving the holster on my gear.
Me too, just ordered one today!
Dirty Harry would have carried one of these in his sock if they were around in the 1970s
I have EDC'd my 6inch Luzon for over 4 months. In jeans, cargo pants, and shorts. I even carry it in my sweatpants when around the house. Completely unobtrusive. It is an absolute Savage, it's like a pocket katana. The only knife I like better is my Ti-Lite 6, because it's classier and just a fan of spear point blades. More stabby.
I have been carrying my Voyager XL tanto for years now, but this knife is getting my attention.
I've carried mine for a while and haven't had any problems with it opening in my pocket. I keep it in the front right, hard against the seam, so I don't know how it would open.
I imagine you could crunch the liner lock if you put too much force into flipping it, but it opens smoothly and easily just off a finger pull or hooking on the back of the pocket so I don't know why you'd need to put in much force.
@Joshua Skolnick that problem is only for spring assisted switchblade Luzon is not spring assisted you need to open it manually until it locks but if you want faster you can just flick your wrist
I now have my Luzon Large for 4 month - and never had any problems with it, neither opening in my pocket nor a loose blade security lock. It is a great tool, fits in any Jeans pocket and fits like a glove in my big bassplayers hands.
I need big knifes, beeing 6'4" a 3" blade would look like ridoculous on me.
OK, I am used to Cold Steel's big folders. I am EDC'ing a Vaquero Grande for at least 30 years.
@@dmp762 I just bought the large Voyager tanto and I've had the luzon for a few weeks now, you wont regret it bud
I have the smaller version and it is excelent as EDC knife. But for "fun factor"...yes, I need the large one too :-D
I have been carrying my Voyager XL tanto for a few years now, I can tell you that carrying a big blade on a daily basis is very doable.
I have one & I love it. I like carrying cold steel xl size folders, I also have the voyager xl & the frenzy along with at least 15 other cold steel knives, fixed blades & folders knives.
The 4" Luzon is for the ladies, the 6" blade however is for us Warrior men !!
I bought the 6" folding serrated Vaquero Grande from Cold Steel almost 30 years ago. I have EDCd it in my right pocket every day since. In March 2020 I bought the Rajah ll and EDC that in my left. I'm just over 50. For tape I use the multi tool on my belt. Never my knives.
I can't tell you how many videos I've seen where a young child was viciously attacked by some dog and people could do nothing but run, wait for police to arrive, hide.... Or some meth head decided to hack people with some edged weapon for no reason and every one is defenseless and can only watch.
I decided I won't be the guy who hides under a table. I take the lives of my family, friends and even strangers seriously. Men need to grow up and be ready for crazy. It's OUR job.
Redfaux... agreed, but why not CCW a handgun???
@@jeffanon1772 - I carry the S&W 9 SD also EDC. Sometimes you don't want a huge BANG when crazy hits. It tells everyone in a mile where you are. I hope I never have to use any of them but I have to travel several times a year thru really bad areas.
@@redfaux74 hope you don't either & 👍 on carrying....but don't you think people in any area are going to kinda notice it when your attacker(s) are bleeding from knife wounds????
@@jeffanon1772 - Whether they are shot or sliced they're going to bleed out. I would only use either if I had to and they didn't give me any choice except lethal defense. Honestly I don't think we'll have rule of law much longer and it won't make much diff. But who knows....
@@jeffanon1772for myself in Canada we have crazy strict gun laws, we can carry large knives (even swords) as long as they are not concealed
I tried one yesterday and it feels like a ball bearing pivot it's that smooth. I wish my large Talwar has the same pivot.
Hi Aaron I just received the Large Luzon today and it is awesome razor sharp and flips smoothly no issues with the point of the blade extending beyond the end of the scales or seating like the first production did which I returned once again thanks for the heads up :-)
Ordered one last night. No one had them in stock, but Cold Steel's site. $48 wasn't bad and I'm looking forward to its arrival. Thanks for the review!
Glad to help! hope you enjoy it. Did you go with the 6" size?
@@gideonstactical Indeed, I did!
Thx for the review this has become my go to channel for all things knife related. I have three knives coming on Monday. An Endura 4, Crooked River, and… THIS lol. I shalt forever cherish this elegant, understated homage to traditional Filipino weaponry 😂. Luzon is the northernmost and largest island of the Philippines. My dad is from Luzon, which is like me saying I’m from the eastern 38 states. For that reason alone, I had to have it. To be honest I wish they had made a more serious high quality blade and named it the “Luzon”, or better yet they could have named the Arc Angel balisong the Luzon. Instead I will have to settle for this ridiculous over the top badass monstrosity. Can’t wait
The Cold Steel Espada XL is even bigger than the Luzon
Yeah I bought 3 of them and I really love them I use every day outside and I. The kitchen this this is great and it's easy to sharpen and holds a decent edge I love it
I really like this knife. My only complaint is that it's not left-handed friendly since the pocket clip can't be swapped. There are ways to work around that, but it's a minor flaw for me.
I ordered both the 4" and 6" yesterday. The 4" for an EDC. And the 6" for a fun holy shit EDC..🤣
@gideonstactical - I think they also use bearings in the pivot (or at least did when it first came out). A friend on Cold Steel FB forum tire his apart and showed pics of the bearings. For the price, both Luzons are an incredible value. You should check out the smaller one too. And then treat yourself to the XL Espada with 7.5” blade 🤣
You nailed it, Brother-
It's just for FUN!
My wife HATES it...that makes owning it a good thing.😜
I enjoy playing with it immensely...what else do yuo want? Great fun!!!
It's stuff like this that make Cold Steel The King of the Knife Industry. Weight 9.3oz Steel 8Cr13MoV Blade Length 6" Overall 13 1/2" Thickness 3.5mm Handle 7 1/2" GFN glass filled nylon. Opens very smooth with the flick of a finger or thumb and can be waved also.
Absolutely love it! A great companion for my cold steel recon 1 XL. So getting one of these.
Last week i bought the Ti Lite6. I returned it, the closing its a real pain. Today i ordered this one. I can tell its easy to close.
Edit after a few months: i improved the opening with a strip of self adhesive tape on the spine of the flipper and the locking with the same kind of tape. It stay on place very well.
Tell em to bring back the Talwar! I need one in my life!
Bought one a couple Months ago,green and black version,but im in sweden
Talwar is back now for 200 plus dollars 😂
Cold steel is the best for self defense I live in a very eye opening area must stay alert
My new favorite overall blade
I've always had two or three in blades that is totally insane and I love it that is an awesome knife and I guarantee it's great for self-defense thank you for sharing this video I have to buy one
What a fun blade. I think I'll get the 4in model though. Looks like you had fun doing the review on this one. Thumbs up!
I edc this with a sr1 lite tanto as well as a kershaw fatback here in Chinada
Bougt the XL Voyager Tanto earlier this year during their Summer sale..fixin to install the Snaggletooth Tactical wave opener on it..
You're one of my favorite people on TH-cam on knives and flashlights yeah man I love that knife I love it I carry it everyday it's a great knife I got it for protection and it's razor sharp somebody will get hit in the throat with it and it's all over with thank you for sharing this video 👌👍🖐️😎🤠
Just ordered mine wanted one for aaaages but they're always out of stock. Such a cool blade shape flips as smooth as butter and the potential of a blade like this is insane
SOLD! ORDERED and... Subscribed too. Great review!
Anyone dogging this knife out...... probably have never used one. Really is awesome.
This knife is large indeed, but STILL not as large as the XL Espada! Of course, at $275 for the Espada XL G-10, and even MORE for the polished G-10, at almost 1\10 the price this is a SUPER option. At .5 inches longer than the Frenzy, but still cheaper, this knife fills a void.. and for the same price as a Case Texas Toothpick! Looks like the Cold Steel collection is going to grow a bit more...
That espada XL is a damn big chunk of premium steel!!!
Hi, I'm from Russia, St. Petersburg to be exact. And I use Cold Steel Luzon for edc in town. Yeah, it's weird and people get scared and I really like it. :D
I can't leave home without my Voyager XL. I think this knife is far more beautiful, but suffers from the same major problem- the blade needs to be offset lower than the handle, and with no protrusions on the bottom so that it can be used for food prep. How about a "Bush Chef XL"?...8" folding butcher knife with a meat saw back and can opener for EDC?
I would suggest that the weak detent is done so the flipper can handle the weight of the long and heavy blade. If they used a stronger detent then deployment would require much more effort. Likely too much for practical use.
I just got into knives and got a Ganzo... Then both of these, and I love them
That's not a pocket knife, " This is a pocket knife" Awesome review Aaron.
One area for EDC with a blade this size is... Running. I carry the Cold Steel Hold Out I in my shorts or sweat pants pocket when I go out running. I live part-time where I work, & I work in an area with A LOT of LOOSE or Stray dogs and they run in packs. Unfortunately, where I work, firearms are not an option, so for my runs an ASP baton is carried in one hand and a 6" folder is in the right front pocket. I figure if I ever had to use it, the extra length would give me a reach advantage over a shorter blade, and in the face of numerous dogs... That could make an injury saving, if not lifesaving, difference for me. Food for thought.
Don't forget that Cold Steel is one of the most 2A friendly companies.
Yes I need one. My 5.5in Talwar is not even close to being too big. The 7.5 Espada might be getting into the too big category. I'll get one to find out
Even though Cold Steel has some knives that are kind of ridiculous if you search their lineup they've had and still have quite a few knives that are hard to beat when it comes to quality and price.
that's stupid, crazy, ridicules, insane i got to have it .
for 40 bucks its a winner:-)
To answer your question yes you do need a big knife in case some one attracts you the bigger the better .a small knife just will not get the job done .a big knife like what you have their will reach out their better .listen to Lynn Thompson videos on big knifes .
i bought it and it is beautiful. i think cold steel is going to make a 6 inch version made from S35vn or even perhaps 3v. One small problem to be careful of folks when this sexy knife is in your pocket and its on the pocket clip (tip-up carry), the knife will rock in your pocket and those two flippers will open the blade slightly. When you are walking and your hands are swaying the point on this knife WILL CUT YOU. The cut will be on index finger nearest the thumb. Just make yourself a pocket holster out of something this knife deserves one take your time.
Been edc for 3 weeks, just been playing with it for now. I'm also shooting it out super fast like the ti lite to see if the liner will loosen after a while and allow up-and-down play
Perfect self defence knife and gives you piece of mind if you live in a shitty area
Another of your great review. I have been looking at this and the smaller one. The only thing I wondered about was the steel. I have not been real impressed with most of the 8cr knives. After watching your video, I think I will grab one (or more). This about the best review of this knife in actual use that I've seen.
As far as need goes, as passed that point years ago (and a crap load of blades).
Good review. I have one of each size and they are awesome. The 4” is cool and the 6” is a beast. The size difference is crazy. I actually just ordered a 2nd set because they were the last in stock that I could find and they don’t seem to be coming back. If you see one and you want it, buy it now! MAY be your last chance!
I love it and I'm glad you reviewed it. I was going to look at them when I go to Smoky Mountain Knife Works anyway. May not get the big one but I may get the smaller one
This review made me smile
Hey Aaron! Just 1 thing - it has steel bearings in brass cage instead of brass bushings
I've been waiting on this video. Thanks for showing the out the pocket way to open the knife. Great video.
It would be the element of surprise on an intruder coming up on you and you whip that thing out of your pocket 😂😂😂😂
Who cares if people stare, really? I think its an amazing multiple purpose knife. Serves amazingly for a blade for defensive purposes i believe. I like Mr. Thompson’s thought process as to why they develop such large folders. I am a huge fan and will cont to enjoy lol Great video!
Also, LuvThemKnives here on youtube got the steel tested and shows the paperwork and the Rockwell Hardness on this heat treated 8cr13mov is 58.1 so that's good!!!
Well if you've ever had to carve up a BBQ chicken from Safeway etc. at a picnic site, this is the way to go if you don't want grease and meat pieces stuck in the pivot area. 6" is crazy for a pocket knife but just kitchen size if you think about it. I've used an Opinel 8 on chickens and it's just not not long enough to keep the joint away from the fat and skin and meat.
Got mine for $37 with free shipping. I can only compare this with the Ti lite 6 zytel version. The only thing I don't like about the luzon large is the hollow feel of the handle and I don't think the liner is steel at all. It just feels very light and lacks substance in terms of mass. The ti lite in comparison feels a lot more dense in the hand. I also doubt the lock on this will hold 200 lbs of pressure like the ti lite did in their tests. But, in terms of the practicality and functionality as a purely self defense knife, this is great.
...For those times when hiking in the deep forest and having to fight off a 10ft tall aggressive BigFoot !
Lol! What does NEED have to do with WANT? Did I need those mongo 5.5” Espadas and Talwars I bought? Nope, but, I seriously wanted them, and that trumps all purchasing objections which may arise. As proof, I’ve ordered the 6” and the 4”. I feel much better, thank you.
The 5.5 inch espada is not mongo considering the espada XL has a blade that is 7.5 inches
I secured one of these, and like it better than my Cold Steel Voyager. Highly recommend.
@GraySurvivorX A lot, weight is excellent nicely balanced. The addition of the blade lock on this long folder is an absolute. More than once the Voyager tip has tagged me lightly in the pocket. The feel of the Luzon handle is interestingly comfortable. When I first saw what was described as a Bamboo Style, didn't appeal to me at first. But when you get it in hand its a comfortable fit, compared to the Voyager. Also the slender shape and length of the Luzon make it a very effective thrusting blade at length, while maintaining excellent control / hold at the end of the handle. And Price, I originally paid $129.00 for my Voyager, compared to $65.00 for the Luzon Extra Long. Cheers.
Three weeks ago “in the middle of October.” What time zone are you in?
I LOVE Cold Steel's XL Blades , I own most of them . You can buy the XL Voyages with either BD-1 or AUS10 steels for about $55 - $60, they're a great option if you want a better steel .
Yeah boy got me an XL voyager and it's a boss. I'd love an Espada XL though.
We're back getting the itch for more knives love your videos yes this knife is the greatest❤
Yes if you are chopping wood with this knife put the secondary lock definitely. Know from experience
the clip was my only issue. I took in off , used my Dremel tool with barrel sanderr to remove the large bulge at the end of the clip that caused the problem . Now the knife comes out of my pocket without catching on the seem just as fast as the knife will open, much better !
This knife is awesome I'm buying one right now!
Hey Gideon great video the locking mechanism on the cold steel is okay but not the greatest thank you for sharing this video 👍
I just wish I could baton with a folder. I have the Mykel Hawke (very large folder) with tanto tip and it will slice and dice, but no batoning. That's why I have so many knives! Thanks for showing it.
Cold steel sr1 baton away!!! Dutch bushcraft knives did a shootout with the sr1 and like 3 others and it one hands down and battonning was part of the test, and throwing also.
looks like a great knife - got to have it for collection
Looks very cool, honestly not a fan on plastic pocket clips but I really like the design, I sure hope cold steel pays attention to this knife and upgrade some things on it
Really like that blade with that clip point can't wait to get mine.
The four inch version is next and boy do I like this Bowie style blade ,it going in my vehicle glove box as a car EDC and when I get the 4" version it will be in my pocket as a EDC on my person ,it's just a cool cool smooth knife that is sharp as a razor.
Best video of Luzon yet. 🤩👌👌
I love it! Its cool too that Lynn does eskrima/filipino martial arts. The only thing I've noticed is it scratches way too easy but its like 40$ so its not a big deal lol I actually have a kershaw that 8cr but they stonewashed it and it literally never has picked up a scratch with all the crazy crap i do with my knives do i wonder if that would've been good on the Luzon, i think it would've made it look even sicker haha
I hate how everyone calls big knifes not practical. I carry a Talwar XL serrated or Rahah 2. I can wave deploy in sweat pants ffs. They are practical AND cool. Wimps. Not you, but the knife people in general.
That Secondary Lock is like the LAWKS on CRKT M16. Didn’t Cold Steel bash it on their Triad Lock vs Videos lol? Now they are using a similar one hahahaha
It is ironic. Still I'm glad they aren't too proud to come up with something similar. On a TH-cam interview with Lynn Thompson, he said they used the edge lock to hit the price point.
They are both secondary locks for a liner lock system....but mechanically they should be different. Cold Steel does not release a locking system unless it passes their testing so this one should be stronger than the Lawks
I hope that you will one day review the BOKER COLUSSUS folder. Its usually mispelled Colossus. It has a 4.75 inch blade and is on Blade HQ website for around $40. I have it and its a great knife!
Bought 3 of these things. Such good value and fun for the money!
Main Gideon, you ruined my day. I just unboxed my Voyager XL (with Tanto Blade), which has a 5.5 Inch blade, and now you make me face the question of whether or not I need a six inch blade, dag nabit.
Man I’m only two seconds in and I’m pumped for this review!
you said the tomb stud functions like a back stopper.. is it on yours? on mine it doesn't, there is good 0.03" gap in between studs and the frame on both sides. However the stopper exist, something inside holds the blade, the question how strong is it
In this day and age, with idiots burning down Buildings and car-jacking’s / murder all going up; you know the Crocodile Dundee Movie right? “That’s not a Knife - THIS…is a Knife”
Well, this in a sense mimics the Movie. If someone pulls a knife on you, slide this out of your pocket. Most assailants are Bully’s…..and if they realize they may face serious
Injury or death - trying to get your Wallet or Phone, odds are they will take off.
I just purchased one for my everyday carry along with my pistol. If the proverbial hits the Fan - I intend to go down fighting all the way…
The knife is beautiful, but it's gotten pretty bad reviews on Amazon. Some believe the lock strength isn't up to Cold Steel standards and that it doesn't hold an edge well. What is your experience in actually cutting and hard use?
I have one and they are not correct. Most of those people are talking bullshit based on theoretical evidence, instead of reality!!!
@@Wildwestwrangler Yeah, that never happens! (Sarcasm) Some of the worst steel snobs out there are people who primarily use their knives to open Amazon boxes. As for the Luzon, thanks for the good words. It's a great looking knife and I really like that Cold Steel has polished the blades. (I really miss their old Voyagers.) Don't know too much about the steel, but I do know that Lynn Thompson likes to watch his heart treat, so he makes as much as he can from them.
I edc a rajah 2, had to buy a good sturdy belt to keep my pants up but I love it.
Hello, my name is Doug and I am a Cold Steel addict.
I believe the pivot is on ball bearings not bushings.
Carry this all the time, on duty and off.
That's it, I'm getting one!
When I was working in healthcare (dialysis) we had a clinic on a very tough side of San Antonio, Tx. The night janitor carried something about that size but I think he may have actually needed the protection, or at least the intimidation factor.
Unfortunately, These big Cold Steel folders like the XLarge Voyagers have suffered blade breaks. There are some shown on You Tube.
They might break if some asshole goes batoning a cinder block with em. But they aren't going to break if you go burying it in someone's belly.
yep they do brake , hell every thing brakes if you apply enough force . I'll bet you would brake if enough force were applied , so what's tha prob bubba .
Yes it's a great slashing knife it's a great self-defense knife❤
I love how cold steel sales are Amazon prices
Love it bro ....ordered one today lolol
Are you wearing a casio illimunator in this video? or an old school g shock???
Illuminator 👍
