I really love to hear Lynn talk about Cold Steel designs. Listening to him talk about serrations convinced me to buy a folder with them, even though I have not been interested in one until now. I love his passion for martial blades. Unapologetic, and excited about things that other knife brands try to dance around. That is why Cold Steel Is an indispensable brand. Amazing designs, super tough construction, practical, capable, and super cost effective. I find I have more Cold Steel than anything else, and for good reason.
Exactly. He knows knives, he loves them and most of all he seems to have been putting all that knowledge and love to the Cold Steel products. I like that ...
Have been Cold Steel collector for over 30 years. Some of my favorites include: Imperial Tanto, Outdoorsman (carried for over 30 years bowhunting), Black Bear Sai Mai, S. Segal helmet breaker, Segal wakizashi, Cold Steel Seagal Signature Katana, Cold Steel Luzon Series Folding Knife, Bowie San Mai Laredo, San Mai Tai Pan (always wish that I had purchased the Imperial Tai Pan back then).
Yeah but let's not pretend like they're the same weapon they were 30 years ago man I just had a Bushman break on me I put my first Bushman through hell and the idea that my second one broke the tip within two weeks of owning it is absurd... Cold steel once the strongest sharpest production knife made now just more garbage... My tia pan I bought 10 years ago is a masterpiece, I seriously doubt it's the same quality dagger that it was then.
Love that you are talking to us the way Mr. Thompson did for years which is why we love Cold Steel. I love straigh edge, combo edges, and am looking forward to checking out a full serrated edge. Keep making these great knives! - I
Will you bring back medium one? Got a few hold outs in all sizes ( 4 hold outs ii, 2 hold outs iii and 1 hold out i) but my favourite is definitely medium one. Would love to have another xl, the one I have is plain edge so second one probably will be serrated. CS is my favourite company. Best tools/weapons ever!!! Love it
Love the Hold Out series. I wear the 3" and 4" models as my practical sgian dubhs. I really miss the 4" model and wish Cold Steel will bring it back. The 6" is a monster of a blade!
I have the Black Talon 2 serrated. It's unnerving how effective it is at rending material. With a dedicated Lansky CS sharpening rod, you have it made.
Always comment on these awesome videos. No other knife maker would dare to test their products like cold steel does. Cold steel knives live in all my bags and belts.
I prefer a non serrated for everyday use but like the previous commenter said Lynn makes great points about self defense. Very nice knife and video. Thanks Cold Steel!
I got a cold steel Rajah 2 about 10 years ago, and a couple of times I have been in a tough situation and pulled it out of my front pocket “I’m a big guy “ and I have seen trouble go away.
Love my Spartan. It's the right kind of heavy that I know I can end a situation quickly if it ever came to it, but it's not going to slow me down because it's unwieldy. Thankfully, I've only ever needed to use it in a utility sense. Love the quick deploy catch on it too. The blade is out and ready to go with zero effort...as long as I catch my pocket correctly, which when I miss I would attribute to my own inconsistency on the draw and not the knife.
Got the Spartan by a Holdout would go good with it. Its one of the only few Cold Steel folders I have yet to get. of the three or four tbat I don't own bit would like to this beast is ine of them for the reason they have it in the video , plain or/and serrated.
@@bruceleroy8063 Knife or handgun, it's about brain, heart. Short of cerebral contex being severed you aren't going to get an instant kill. Knives however can cause a lot more internal bleeding and trauma than a non lethal handgun wound resulting in shock, which can incapacitate and kill within minutes.
@@montycasper4300 Killing the attacker isn't the goal. Stopping them is. Consider if you were stabbed in the gut. You would probably not fall down until you lost enough blood or went into shock. Now change the stab to a far less deadly punch in the gut and it drops you because much more energy is delivered by the fist than by the knife blade. Energy is what drops people quickly, not blood loss. When seconds count a bleed out is minutes away.
@@bruceleroy8063 I agree that non lethal defense is preferable, but I also accept that for many the means of unarmed self defense isn't practical. In those instances a tool is necessary as a last resort measure where an opponent means them harm.
That slash from the beuty was a suprise, and in real life, I want HER as MY bodyguard, silent but deadly! I have some CS 2 sizes of Luzon, the smaller as a EDC, lost my Secret Edge 2 months ago, is somewhere in my home. But uses a Griek as a substitute for the smaller Luzon some times, or a mini Hunter, just reach down in the pocket pop the sheat off, no carry strap. The Tokyo Spike is a little to long for neck carry, so it's usually resting.
I've always enjoyed carrying a knife around with me. Not for self defence, but because it's a basic necessity in everyday life. I always seem to need one when I don't have one on me. I think the Hold Out would be the perfect knife to have for my next camping trip.
I prefer the non-serrated version and have the 4" Hold Out currently in my EDC rotation. Great, great knife. In my own (limited) testing I've had the serrated edges get caught up or bound in heavy clothing or layers of material. I'm always more afraid for my fingers than the blade, especially with Cold Steel, so it might be time to re-examine that. What better way to do so than to have you send me one?
cold steels serration pattern is not great and needs to be updated, the ones ive tested out have always failed to cleanly cut through stuff like bubble wrap while spydercos serrated blades are far superior and cut like an actual plain edge, also the tiny serrations on the cold steel break off very easily
In the martial system I've been in for almost 21 years we do a lot of knife work. Cold Steel makes a great product and many of them ride in our students' pockets and in their belts.
I love Cold Steel . The best tools I've ever had the pleasure to hold in my hand . Products that I can rely on if my life is in danger ,Cold Steel will never let you down.
I've bought several Cold Steel knifes in the span of over 30 years. They make there knifes so strong & thick, I still use my original San mai lock back from 30 years ago.
I never thought much about Cold Steel for a long time. Now I own 6 and gifted my father a Cold Steel Voyager clip point for ranch work. They make the best full package knives with sheaths too. Good steels and strong designs. All else is flourish.
I have carried serrated and non-serrated blades for years. Both have served me well. Cold Steel, "The Indestructables" have never failed me. I have been using a Hi-Ho little serrated knife for over 20 years. It has been the best kitchen knife, for it's size, I have ever used!
I have carried a Cold Steel blade for years. I am a professional chef an as a utility I use my Cold Steel folders as often as my 8" chef. Quality and affordability have my motives and Cold Steel delivers plus innovative design and carry comfort.
I can't remember the last time I listened to someone speak so passionately a product. You know Mr Thompson really believes in what he's putting out there!
Cold Steel, Thank you very much for uploading this entertaining and informative video. Could you show us how to hone these serrations with simple tools, please? Thank you very much in advance.
I'm absolutely delighted about returning of the Hold Out!!! It was a big grief for me that circumstances turned out like I was too late to buy full serreted Hold Out when it was already taken out of production. That time I had to choose between Hold Out and Talwar 5.5 and I chose the second one. Also, I could spend a little more money and buy both knives, but I didn't, so I still feeling regretted about it.
The Hold Out's and Talwar's and Recon 1's and Voyager's and Espada's and Ti-Lite's and Frenzy's and Counter Point's have always been my favorite Cold Steel Mega Folders to SDUEDC (Self-Defense, Utility, Everyday, Carry). :-)
I’m not going to lie , I was afraid when Lynn sold ColdSteel that the quality of their knives would go down, I was mistaken,so far thank GOD the new owners are doing a great job of keeping the BEST KNIFE COMPANY IN THE WORLD… ALIVE AND TRUE. THANK YOU!!!!
As a new LEO I need something like this! As a former US army cavalry scout I used my cold steel recon 1 tanto aus 8 when I was deployed back in 2009 at Afghanistan.
So many knives to choose….hold out series is awesome while sharp asf! I always feel like a kid on Christmas whenever I see what Cold steel has in store for us knife nuts.
I am a Cold Steel truly fan for more than a decade, when I started with a Para Edge and a Recon 1 1st gen. until the new Recon 1 in a S35VN that I love
I love my Hold Out...bought it 2018...after they were discontinued...in the year end sale (which Cold Steel no longer does) close out..actually bought teo...one plain and one serrated..
Have begun to collect more Cold Steel knives recently. Excellent selections, decent priced and exceptional performance. Currently own an original kukri, a XL espada in G10, assorted machetes and a Raja 2. They all out perform expectations.
This looks like another Cold Steel win. Big, strong, and as a self defense weapon just the sight of this knife should deter any bad guy, if not, then prepare to meet your maker. I would love to have one.
Outstanding! I own just about every CS product with the exception of a few units as I've been collecting/carrying for many, many years. CS is ALWAYS my go to EDC no matter what the task, CS NEVER let's me down. 🇺🇸 Semper Fidelis 🇺🇲
Gotta give some love to the Counter-Point XL as well. Probably one of the stoutest folders they make. But for EDC I prefer my 6" Ti-Lites. They are easier to live with and can be opened several different ways. The extra size improves the ergonomics (for me) and I'm curious if the same holds true for the Holdout.
I have loved cold steel for years!!! I ordered a bush craft knife when I lived I Korea...The Korean Government wouldn't let me I have so I shipped it to family. I waited 10 years to be able to get that knife...and it was worth it!!!
I circled back to cold steel… for quality, safety, offerings on large folders. I’ve got MANY MANY of the high $$ knives … rarely carry them compared to cold steel. Best for the money out there.
I started practicing filipino martial arts under Dan Inosanto in the early 90s. Everyone carried cold steel knives as their EDC and I started doing the same. No regrets. I love the products and swear by them.
I want a Hold Out so bad. Such a cool knife, both the folder and the fixed blade are on my list of must have knives. Cold Steel does a great job at designing knives.
I've carried both serrated and non over the years. The serrated have advantages over most blades out there with this Cold Steel serration being used. I own a Vaquero Grande in serrated I keep locked up now but still love it. I really wish you had made a Spartan in serrated. It would have been an awesome blade. This knife has been on my radar for a long while. I love your vids and Lynn's talks on the different blades. Take Care and Stay Safe to all.
@@KyleTheDalek If Cold Steel, their is a small stick sharpener made by Lansky which I've used. I have also simply used a polisher on the back side of the serrated edge and a Lansky serrated sharpener stone from their sharpening stone line. It does renew the edge but you have to take your time and just do the scalloped deep serrations.
@@pavelkvak9852 Yes. For a fighting blade. The plain blade will work, but the serrated will leave better slashing and pull cut wounds. A plain blade, once dulled enough from normal cutting, will make a jagged wound which will close and heal faster. The serrated blade, even if the serrations are dulled, will grab and pull creating a similar wound but a far straighter and deeper wound channel during slashing which heals much slower. I'd buy both if I could.
I really love the old Weapons from cold steel, like the Viking Waraxes. I‘ve never really looked at the more modern weapons, but man, they‘re awesome!!!
I have made my own knives before and sold them all over the U.S., all fixed blades. You can't get a better knife than a Cold Steel folder that will rival any fixed blade knife! Cold Steel folders are the only knives I carry now.
I love Cold Steel with all my heart been carrying them for almost 25 years. please stick with the company Lynn I'm 36 years old and just had my first son he's 7 months old now and I just gave him his first micro recon. I have him many more put up in the safe. please stick with the company Lynn please.
DAMMM Nice. The hold out serrated till the end... " One Last Cut " ... Dont hold out on me . would love to own one some day!!! Love the videos you guys put out.

Exactly. He knows knives, he loves them and most of all he seems to have been putting all that knowledge and love to the Cold Steel products. I like that ...
Being able to damn near cut through that entire tatami mat with a folder is nuts.
Cold Steel will always have a spot in my collection. I can listen to Mr. Thompson talk all day!
Have been Cold Steel collector for over 30 years. Some of my favorites include: Imperial Tanto, Outdoorsman (carried for over 30 years bowhunting), Black Bear Sai Mai, S. Segal helmet breaker, Segal wakizashi, Cold Steel Seagal Signature Katana, Cold Steel Luzon Series Folding Knife, Bowie San Mai Laredo, San Mai Tai Pan (always wish that I had purchased the Imperial Tai Pan back then).

I've always carried a non serrated but there were some damn good points in this video to reconsider.
I have to admit, Lynn describing the Hold Out made me hard
lol I read your comment right after I posted. That is too funny. Lynn was born for what he does.
Great to see that Cold Steel will continue with its product videos also in 2022. Good luck and stay healthy.
I love Cold Steel!!!!! Used them when I was in the Navy and ever since.
Love that you are talking to us the way Mr. Thompson did for years which is why we love Cold Steel. I love straigh edge, combo edges, and am looking forward to checking out a full serrated edge. Keep making these great knives! - I

The 4" is my fav of all time, should be brought back 💔
A modern interpretation of a folding fighting knife that is practical yet deadly… Holdout definitely sounds like a winner
I have the Black Talon 2 serrated. It's unnerving how effective it is at rending material. With a dedicated Lansky CS sharpening rod, you have it made.
Always comment on these awesome videos. No other knife maker would dare to test their products like cold steel does. Cold steel knives live in all my bags and belts.

I could listen to Lynn talk for hours, very informative. I need to get a hold out I m sold.
Still love my Rajah 3. Thing is a beast as a duty folder.
So when you guys going to revamp the Triple Action?
I got a cold steel Rajah 2 about 10 years ago, and a couple of times I have been in a tough situation and pulled it out of my front pocket “I’m a big guy “ and I have seen trouble go away.

Serrated Hold out would be great addition to every knife collection, and great knife to carry.
I would love to add to my collection so glad to have the stickman himself on the channel seeing him use the tools himself cant get any better
Shared! cold steel is the best of the best! Nothing cuts better nothing is stronger! Thank you cold steel for your perfect products
I don't usual spend a dime on blades unless it's Cold Steel. You guys truly are The GREATEST!
I have carried a Cold Steel blade for years. I am a professional chef an as a utility I use my Cold Steel folders as often as my 8" chef. Quality and affordability have my motives and Cold Steel delivers plus innovative design and carry comfort.
Nice contrast between the sweet heart with the lovely smile and the bad boys wielding death
Cold Steel has some awesome products that you can trust anytime anywhere.
Cold Steel has is one of my all time favorite knife manufacturers. Happy New Year !!
My favorite folding cold steel knive has always been the Rajan II but this one seems to be a next one on the top
I can't remember the last time I listened to someone speak so passionately a product. You know Mr Thompson really believes in what he's putting out there!
Cold Steel,
Thank you very much for uploading this entertaining and informative video.
Could you show us how to hone these serrations with simple tools, please?
Thank you very much in advance.
Always, always always wanted one of these. Talk about beast. the locks on these Cold Steels is really second to none
I love Cold Steel. Always fun to watch their videos.
Love Cold Steel knives. Owned the micro recon, code 4, and American lawman.

I have an original Hold Out II and III both in AUS8 and I’m planning to upgrade to the new S35VN versions. I love all my Cold Steel knives.
I've carried various large and XL Voyagers every day for 15yrs. I'll have to check out the Hold Out.
Cold steel has some of the best knifes ever. The hold reality in my pocket most of the time.

Holdout2 is still one of my favorite EDC blades. I didn't think I'd like it near as much as I do.
For such a large folding knife, it’s a very elegant & unique piece. I’d love to get my hands on a blade with such brawn and beauty.
Absolutely great self-defense blade.
A real combat pocket folder that's all business when it comes to Deadly in the
Cold Steel Deadliest Weapons Series.
This looks like another Cold Steel win. Big, strong, and as a self defense weapon just the sight of this knife should deter any bad guy, if not, then prepare to meet your maker. I would love to have one.
Outstanding! I own just about every CS product with the exception of a few units as I've been collecting/carrying for many, many years. CS is ALWAYS my go to EDC no matter what the task, CS NEVER let's me down.

Semper Fi warrior !!
I'm glad Lynn still makes videos with cold steel.
Gotta give some love to the Counter-Point XL as well. Probably one of the stoutest folders they make. But for EDC I prefer my 6" Ti-Lites. They are easier to live with and can be opened several different ways. The extra size improves the ergonomics (for me) and I'm curious if the same holds true for the Holdout.
Love the hold out. Have a great hold out 3 that I still keep in my EDC rotation
Love cold steel been buying them for over 20 years got a great collection some in my survival packs some edc great for every occasion
Good discussion of the serrations
Got my first cold steel a couple of months ago and have been loving it.
I have loved cold steel for years!!! I ordered a bush craft knife when I lived I Korea...The Korean Government wouldn't let me I have so I shipped it to family. I waited 10 years to be able to get that knife...and it was worth it!!!

Same here. I started getting Microtechs and now they’re all collecting dust. Cold Steel is great.
I started practicing filipino martial arts under Dan Inosanto in the early 90s. Everyone carried cold steel knives as their EDC and I started doing the same. No regrets. I love the products and swear by them.
Cold steel is always and forever the best and my favorite for many years!
Simple yet refined.
I want a Hold Out so bad. Such a cool knife, both the folder and the fixed blade are on my list of must have knives. Cold Steel does a great job at designing knives.

@@DamianBloodstone Thanks for answer. Besides fighting, how you like Cold Steel serrations for standard daily general utility slicing & cutting tasks?
About as perfect a defensive knife as you can get.
Damn bro. You buy that plastic balisong yet!?
Love all Cold Steel Blades. They are simply the best!
Looks like a great self defense blade! Enjoyed the vid. T'Ripp suprised me with that quick cut at the end haha - awesome 😁
I really love the old Weapons from cold steel, like the Viking Waraxes. I‘ve never really looked at the more modern weapons, but man, they‘re awesome!!!
Thank you and happy new year!😊🙏🍾🍾🍾

I have made my own knives before and sold them all over the U.S., all fixed blades. You can't get a better knife than a Cold Steel folder that will rival any fixed blade knife! Cold Steel folders are the only knives I carry now.
I have the Steel Tiger karambit and the Spartan which are 2 of my favorite knives. Cold Steel doesn’t disappoint.
Awesome knife, love your serrated edges !!!
I love Cold Steel and have never been disappointed with any of the products!
Great giveaway and I'm in 👍🏻
Absolutely LOVE cold steel blades. My favorites!
I usually lean non-serrated edge so I can sharpen myself if needed, though really like the points that were made in the video. Maybe I just need two?
Liked, shared. As for commentary I'm mesmerized by this amazing young woman you have started featuring. Please continue.
I love Cold Steel with all my heart been carrying them for almost 25 years. please stick with the company Lynn I'm 36 years old and just had my first son he's 7 months old now and I just gave him his first micro recon. I have him many more put up in the safe. please stick with the company Lynn please.
He sold the company
I live my frenzy 3, I believe in your cutting edge so much. I would love to everyday carry this blade
Thanks for the opportunity to win one of these killer looking blades! God bless y'all and have a happy new year!
DAMMM Nice. The hold out serrated till the end... " One Last Cut " ... Dont hold out on me . would love to own one some day!!! Love the videos you guys put out.
Gotta be proud of that throw Stickman, that was a nice one!
That hold out looks killer!!!
