Lynn is such a badass. It's no wonder he's built a huge company making so many excellent weapons and tools when he actually understands and uses them himself. No corporate boardroom dope or social media "influencer" had a say in the products being made, and it shows.
I have an OG Spartan. I’ve worked that knife for years without a hitch. I’ve recently added a large Voyager that is a great companion to the Spartan! Please don’t let this be the last time we get to see either piece in action.
Another great video thank you for making them. I've been a fan of Cold Steel for years and have carried the original Spartan for about five years. Love all the serrated models they come out with.
The axe dummy mutilation , really brought the barbaric ecstasy to a boil , Cold Steel vs Ballistic Dummy Labs could be really epic series , hope to see more in the future !
Love that Cold Steel is still using the props at the ranch. These videos are highly entertaining and a warm welcome when you haven't seen a video from CS in awhile. Was great meeting you beamer at Blade Atlanta 2022. Looking forward to 2023 show and checking out the booth. I wish everyone luck in winning a Cold Steel product. I would love to add something to my collection from the OG company we all have loved for decades. Have a great one gentleman and I hope I get picked as a winner.
I love my Cold Steel viking-inspired axes. I own all but the biggest one. Some of the women I date actually get excited when I say “you wanna see my axe collection.”
Just recently picked up a Cold Steel Spartan in AUS10A steel, and it is quite the knife, the grip that you get with that knife is truly great! I enjoy these videos, have been a fan of cold steel knives since the early 90's. Please making affordable, high quality knives that the average person can afford to carry for EDC!
I love my original Spartan folder which I bought when it first came out. Hell of a knife which is still serving me well. I wouldn't mind having the Lynn Thompson model but I would be ecstatic to receive one of those axes. 👍🏻
Really impressed with the folder and surprisingly the battle axe I never really thought of them as practical before but I was obviously wrong lol. Love the content you guys do from entertainment value to the information put out it's all gold keep it up boys 🤟👌
You should offer Cold Steel/ Ballistic Dummies combo packages. I always enjoy watching you guys tear things up, after watching this I want everything I saw
My first Cold Steel was the Triple Action Double Edge with the Celtic Knot Work on it, followed by Ti-Lite. Hands down best knives to carry and beyond best knife videos. Keep it up!
The Ballistic Dummy is badass. I feel like if I had 2 Cold Steel Battle Axes and I stumbled upon a cave that had bears . I’d’ say I know Stick & Lynn and the Bears would run away saying. “Hey are those Cold Steel Battle Axes. Another great video!
Dang!!! that's by far one of the coolest products you guys have brought out so far, viking battle axes are just some of the best weapons ever made (my opinion). I love this channel, I really appreciate when you guys showcase what the weapons are capable of.
I need to add L.T.s signature to my collection I already have yours Beamer and JimiSlash but the OG would be great to have. Thanks for all the exciting content and good luck to all!
ahhh reminds me of the old proof videos. glad the company didn't undergo a "revolution" after changing hands. looking forward to the new videos with Lynn
I have not thought of the battle axe more than a chopping weapon. The point can be used as a painful push to keep the other at a distance. Great video.
I’m curious as to the pros and cons of the normal edged Spartan versus the serrated edge. I have a regular edge spartan that I’ve carried for some time now, everywhere I go and love it. Would it be worth getting a serrated one as well? As always, keep making good products and good videos, much love.
I have been a fan of CS and our dear friend Lynn since the beginning. I have alot of catalogs and even the article on tomahawk self defense and several videos. I wear my honor, a scottish dirk, on my kilt. Since a bad leg injury a few years ago and a year learning to walk again, an axe head cane is my constant companion. Personally I would love to have either item but the axe will hang with my hawks. Stick, I must say one thing, I really....really....appreciate that fantastic display of throwing skill for new years. 😀 Cold Steel forever!
jeez that really is devastating, & here I thought blades had trouble in ballistic gel but I stand corrected. what a sweet sweepstakes this one is going to be, I would be giddy if I won either, thats definitely gonna make a couple of people's day. Good to see Lynn again too. happy new year C.S. Team
Hey Stickman!! I get all my knives, swords, axes, etc from Cold Steel! I bought a Black Bear Classic the instant it came back in stock...Love watching you and Lynn chop stuff up!! I would love to have one of those epic blades!!!
Just started collecting last year after watching yalls vids for years! Started off with a recon 1 tanto and got a voyager xl kris for Xmas! And literally just minutes ago ordered a bowie mini tac as my first fixed blade! My dream knife is that lynn thompson signature spartan! Good luck all who enter! And keep up the good work cold steel!
Finally Spartan with serrations! :) Thank you for testing spartan with serrations. I carry clasic serrated spartan every day and surprisingly it´s a handy knife even for daily tasks. Regards from Czechia, last country (with Slovakia) in Europe, where we are able to carry whatever ,,cold steel´´ we want! 🙂
Love the Viking axes I have two of them and they are Awesome, I’ll probably get at least one more!! I’ve been looking at the spartan and it looks amazing would love one .
Guys, greetings from Greece . Love your products ! Is there any chance we might get to see a Cold Steel Engage knife , with a black coating like on the Recon 1 ?! Would be awesome .
Such a WoW video. I love the Spartan and this one looks awesome in its abilities. The Viking axe is amazing in what Lynn showed with it. I have its little cousin the Viking Hawk and it eats trees and bone. This one looks even better. I've never been disappointed with any Cold Steel product. I might never use some I have, but I love them. Great smash, Stick. Take Care and Stay Safe.
Exceptional video showing the true potential that your tools/knives have the ability to do easily shock N awe for the win. Y’all keep up the good work. P.S. those dummies are legit awesome!
The other thing that should be added to testing the knives against gel dummies is giving it clothing like in some of the other videos. How well will the knife pierce through a regular t shirt or jacket without being caught up by the material on entry or exit? Can it slash through sleeves and still get a good boo boo going? Will thick shirts and jackets keep the knife from going through all the way? These dummy videos are really cool showing the effects against flesh but that's it, just flesh. If my attacker comes at me shirtless I know I'll probably get some good hits in, but what about slashing a chest through a shirt or arms through the sleeves? Keep on rocking Stick, blessed be the cold steel.
Oh I'm afraid of violence alright but that's why I carry a large Espada and an sr1 tanto by Cold Steel. I've carried the Espada for so long the thumb disk screw broke. I merely filled a pocket opening feature in to the thing and it works like a champ. If I look at my bhq account. . . I've been carrying the Espada since 2012 no complaints.
cool melee weapons, i like it depressing that melees got powercreeped so badly by guns, they were a really fun weapon before the gun meta came out devs need to nerf guns, they need to fix the powercreep smh
Knives, are still very deadly. Within 21 feet its about 1 to 1.5 seconds for a knife wielding individual to place a fatal blow with a knife. Most people don't draw and hit their first shot that fast.. and further distance the less time to close since start is slowest part, 40 feet in 2 seconds is very doable by many young people. They say dont bring a knife to a gun fight. But often enough. Guns malfunction. Or fail to be drawn and shot accurately at target. Knives still have their place and are plenty deadly. Look at the UK meta, knife violence is alive and well😓
Love the cold steel battle star,it's nasty.i also bought throwing knives from cold steel also and they were better balanced and easier to throw than all other throwing knives I've ever tried. I know they were made in China but they are great.no bull she hit.everything I've ever gotten from cold steel has been completely functional and reliable enough that I could bet my life on it and no one is paying me to say any of this.the battle star could be a bit heavier but still its straight up deadly. Big boar blow dart gun is wicked too.oh and just wanted to also give a shout out to Ronin katana too.sorry cold still but Robin makes alright swords.not as good as cold steels but they got a scratch and dent sale that is awesome for good deals.
You know the economy is bad when Cold Steel is using ballistic dummies as opposed to the tired and true sides of beef and the legendary boots filled with meat.
I dig Lynn's accuracy, off with your head in one swing! I now understand the shape of the Viking Battle Axe, devastating piece of steel.
Lynn is such a badass. It's no wonder he's built a huge company making so many excellent weapons and tools when he actually understands and uses them himself.
No corporate boardroom dope or social media "influencer" had a say in the products being made, and it shows.
What is his social media
At 4:36 when the head gets cut off and fall to the ground there's a piece of bone that briefly flops up into frame, like a cartoon charachter!
Hey Stick, thank you for everything you do, you embody the Cold Steel Spirit very well and I really enjoy watching. Thumbs up bro!
lynn is better
Never would have thought of that with those axe horns, now I want and need one of those axes !
Maybe for my birthday
I have an OG Spartan. I’ve worked that knife for years without a hitch. I’ve recently added a large Voyager that is a great companion to the Spartan! Please don’t let this be the last time we get to see either piece in action.
Another great video thank you for making them. I've been a fan of Cold Steel for years and have carried the original Spartan for about five years. Love all the serrated models they come out with.
Devastating damage from the spartan and axe, crazy.
I always love your finishers Stick, dead on ballz buddy.
Happy New Year!
The axe dummy mutilation , really brought the barbaric ecstasy to a boil , Cold Steel vs Ballistic Dummy Labs could be really epic series , hope to see more in the future !
didnt realize you could stab with an axe damn lynn's a god

I would love to see that axe thrown into ballistic torso. I know from throwing mine, the energy created from a thrown long handle is immense.
I love my original Spartan folder which I bought when it first came out. Hell of a knife which is still serving me well. I wouldn't mind having the Lynn Thompson model but I would be ecstatic to receive one of those axes. 👍🏻
That's one impressive axe, certainly can do some damage.
Thanks for keeping Cold Steel the way it always has been Stick!
Really impressed with the folder and surprisingly the battle axe I never really thought of them as practical before but I was obviously wrong lol. Love the content you guys do from entertainment value to the information put out it's all gold keep it up boys 🤟👌

Glad to see Lynn again. Loved the way he did that dacap
Congrats to the winners! Really enjoying all the new content. 2023 is going to be awesome. 🙌🏻

That Battle Axe looks awesome! I love the extended horn: Great for keeping someone at bay, or for a wicked thrust! Very impressive 👍

Cold Steel is still alive!!! My collection will continue to grow!
Complete beast of a video. I only use and carry cold steel. Pocket bushman is my work blade. Love your products, and love the videos.
My favorite cold steel blade is the Voyager XL Tanto plain edge. I carry my tanto every day and practice tantojutsu forms with it weekly.
Love this specific video. I was bragging about the Spartan and the viking axe on reddit yesterday
Finally Spartan with serrations! :) Thank you for testing spartan with serrations. I carry clasic serrated spartan every day and surprisingly it´s a handy knife even for daily tasks. Regards from Czechia, last country (with Slovakia) in Europe, where we are able to carry whatever ,,cold steel´´ we want! 🙂

What a Crazy Axe! Love the Headsplitting.
I appreciate the Owner/Founder of Cold Steel Lynn Thompson demonstrating & speaking about his products !
That was wicked !!! Love it!! Love that axe
I always look forward to Your videos they are the Absolute best on TH-cam hands down
C’Mon Man! … If you ain’t got a cold steel warhead, you ain’t down with OG. 😮
Once again, Cold Steel blades are reliable to leave behind a whole mess of carnage. Well done!

Guys, greetings from Greece . Love your products !
Is there any chance we might get to see a Cold Steel Engage knife , with a black coating like on the Recon 1 ?!
Would be awesome .
This video has replaced my second cup of coffee in the morning.
My favorite part was when it went slo-mo and so did Lynn's voice
I love the brand and the videos
Another awesome video as usual. 🤘⚔️🤘
Now I want a serrated Spartan and a Viking axe
Such a WoW video. I love the Spartan and this one looks awesome in its abilities. The Viking axe is amazing in what Lynn showed with it.

Thanks Stick, awsome battle axe, bloody damn dummies!
Whats new for 2023 ? new blades?
I'm worried that I might get hurt wearing eyewear
Looking forward to more Cold Steel demo videos in 2023.
Nice axe!!👍 I want it for axe throwing
I want a Lynn Thompson Spartan!!! I will do a review on it.
Great products love my knives from cold steel! Awesome quality
Hoping Lynn can continue to Grace this channel with his presence for years to come. Thanks for letting him drop in Stick.
Dude I want that freaking axe!! That thing looks sick.
Cold Steel is my "go to" to find cool stuff in the blade world! 👍
Oh I'm afraid of violence alright but that's why I carry a large Espada and an sr1 tanto by Cold Steel. I've carried the Espada for so long the thumb disk screw broke. I merely filled a pocket opening feature in to the thing and it works like a champ. If I look at my bhq account. . . I've been carrying the Espada since 2012 no complaints.

The Ballistic Dummies are always great in CS vids!
Nothing but pure awesomeness! 🤘😎🤘
Man Lynn looks great! (Alway has) just nice to keep seeing him involved this is a very big deal to ALL US OG COLD STEEL PEEPS! 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Man, that axe is "the business". I would hate to have to be the person or animal receiving the business end of that thing. "Awesome" piece.
Whoa the lynn thompson spartan would be great as a dual carry. I carry the original spartan every day now. People love it!
Just cleaned it after leaving it outside in the rain. flips open like butter
Rajah 2 has been my carry for 10 years ever since grandma got it for me for my birthday
I've been wanting to try a Spartan
How is it for buttering toast?
How old is Lynn Thompson?
Devastating...I Love it! Thanks.
Awesome video really enjoyed it
Great video! Great knives. Never disappointed.
Those axes are gnarly, man
Is that legal to carry these knives in your state?
We "axed," Cold Steel delivered. I've been a CS customer for over thirty years, and have never been disappointed.
Hey Stick , that was a bloody good show !
You know the economy is bad when Cold Steel is using ballistic dummies as opposed to the tired and true sides of beef and the legendary boots filled with meat.
Unfortunately, dummies are much more expensive.
Love my Cold Steel axes, knives and swords. Thanks Lynn! Ballistic Dummy is freaking cool.
Wish I could buy one of those spartans, but it’s not available anymore.

What happen to the cold steel cheap shot crossbow
