- The toughest test with the strongest lock. Cold Steel is known for testing lock strength and the new Atlas Lock System blew it away. The Engage 3.5" with S35VN held an amazing 726lbs, Whack tested perfectly, and performed flawlessly on the smashing test. Check it out www.coldsteel.com/3-5-engage-...

I'm loyal to Cold Steel. Every birthday present I give is a Cold Steel knife. My best friend still has the Recon tanto that I gave him many MANY years ago. Still cuts like a razor.
You're a good friend I sold mine about that long and regret it
I still have 2 Xtra Large Voyagers with the original lock mechanisms, one tanto point, and one clip point. I also have a Mini Bushman, and 2 Elands. All great knives.
Hello FRIEND….
My birthday is coming up lol…😭
Low-key wish I was your friend for the right reasons
Giving my father a Cold Steel knife thus Father’s Day. He is very picky and uses his knife a little rough. Got him the Tuff lite mini.
Counted between 7 to 8 seconds hanging. Holy crap! Carried and sold Cold Steel for years. This is impressive.
Been loyal to Cold Steel for 27 years. I still remember the day my dad bought me my first Cold Steel for my 11th birthday and said here ya go son here is the best damn knife for my best damn kid. 27 years later now my son carries a Cold Steel knife too.
you still have your first knife? how's it doing?
@@jdosbdvskfpwk9880 I do actually. It's a little beat up but still holding strong.
@@NOBODY-kh4ptDo you use oil on your pocket knives? I use a little mineral oil and that's it, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
@@CorruptionManX I've used everything from WD40 to olive oil. You should be fine.
@@NOBODY-kh4pt thank you.
I count on Cold Steel anytime, anywhere, but I still like the old slogan better.
"The world's strongest, sharpest knives."
I wanna see stick guy pull out 3 xl espadas , 2 vaqueros, and a 6 inch ti-lite from his waistband .
The impact dynamic tests are way more important then the hanging weights but that it is still impressive.
I think that the triad will remain my favourite but that is a cool new lock like the scorpion lock on the ad15, it should be implemented in 3 new models, one big like the recon 1, blade 4 inches.
Most reliable locks , best safety standards 👍
Triad is over built as it is. Better steels and new designs. The lock is done. Once you upgrade a seat belt to a 5 point harness you become a nutter dreaming improvements. Because it's a car, it's a knife, it has a lock on it, it is not a lock with a knife on it...
Question is will the Atlas lock disengage if the knife is used in a pommel strike excessively ? 🤔
Was my birthday yesterday and get a recon tanto sk5.. what a knife !! And if I have to explain to the judge why I'm carrying such a beast, I'm just gonna say because Cold Steel any time anywhere''
Go stick!!! Glad to see testing videos are back!
this video gives me that classic "i effing LOVE cold steel" feeling.
Can we get a nice big 4 inch knife with that lock? Cold Steel never disappoints with big beefy knives!
Please, give us a Finn Wolf with that lock. It would be the only folding bushcraft knife you could safely baton with (although I have done some light batoning with my Finn Wolf, with no apparent ill effects....).
Since I saw the OSS COLDSTEEL kill that water Buffalo I've carried mine on my Cattle Ranch.
You should show that video to all the new people that want your product.
Just love watching Stick stabbing, slashing, chopping & beating stuff to beyond recognition 👍 Oorah 💪
I thought this was a padlock. My lockpicking fanatic side and my Knife fanatic side just collided for 5 seconds until I realized it was the blade locking mechanism
There we go! Some quality vids
I like how it deploys with a flick. Please offer this with the premium steel folders.
I have only carried C.S. since 1998. When I bought my first Coldsteel knife. I will not leave my house without one or two.
Cold Steel gives me a hard on. The company has great knives. I’m a huge fan of the tri-ad lock. Really gives me confidence when using it. This new lock looks to be the same strength.
Very brutal testing but that's the only way to do it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I'm very impressed 720 lb that was crazy. As always keep up the great work 👍🏻
Bro thats weak nothing brutal about it joe x now he breaks cold steel knives in half true destruction tests some last longer some break at they locking mechanism but very entertaining to see how long they last
Julius Maddox bench pressed 790 pounds
never change cold steel
never change
Great testing
Mr Stickman that was the one of the best video's you have done yet. Just awsome. That atlas lock looked amazing. Just carious do you have a date when the rest of the 2022 knives will be available??. Specially the leatherneck bowie??. Thanks for the awsome video 😎👍
They will be available in late 2023 😉
Great to see these videos back although Demko used to pull the spine whacker back further on his tests…
I was worried that CS might go to the dogs when Lynn left. I am happy to see my worries are unfounded. Any chance they might include this lock system on a new version of the Finn Wolf (my favorite knife, right now). And CS, if you are listening....please bring back the Mini Bushman. It is sorely missed. I still have one, but I am afraid to carry it now because I can't replace it should something happen to it.
Keep up the great work.
RIGHT ON!!! WAY TO GO!!! THIS IS WHAT I HAVE WANTED TO SEE!!! NOW, I WANT THE 3.5" DRIFTER/ENGAGE AND MAYHEM!!! WELL DONE, STICKMAN, WELL DONE!!! THAT'S THEY WAY YOU ADVERTISE A COLD STEEL FOLDER!!! :-) :-) :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
Might be good with this new cold steel my new XL espada cold steel held 720 on that I was impressed we will see just bring down some of the current prices
Freaking awesome!
Been buying their stuff for nearly 20 years. Just to collect really, because you honestly only need one. They will last forever!
I've been a student of kali for years and I have an extensive collection of knives, benchmade spyderco fox bastenelli you name it, more often than not I carry a cold steel counterpoint 1.
Very impressive for sure!!!
Is that the Drifter? Are there Titanium or Aluminium liners? How about a 4 inch and a 4.5 inch (Blade) Atlas lock knife so that we get our reach advantage?
Drifter was renamed. Same knife.
as if the tri ad can't get any better! can't wait to buy the new lines with this lock.
💥😎VERY IMPRESSIVE! Will u guys be adding this new system to new manufacture of legacy knives?👍🇺🇸
Nice! Now, I need a Voyager Large with micarta (or at least G10) scales in my life, please!
I decided to give the 3.5” engage a shot & I love it. Once you find your groove with it and can deploy/disengage it with your eyes closed, you’ll find an amazing product. Definitely worth the $170. Some sites say GFN for the handle material but it’s definitely G10 & S35VN. It’s not a good knife. It’s a great knife!
Impressive!
I can't wait till they come out! this is a MUST have! I will never buy a frame lock/liner lock knife.
You absolutely "ROCK!!!" Well done Stickman!!! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)
I've made ColdSteel my edc for the past ten years. First I carried the Voyager XL. Then, I switched to the 4Max Scout. They're the best folders I own and carry daily and I own some really expensive ones. I'm curious how that knife would hold up if it was mounted at an angle instead of straight up and down? How many degrees of camber can it handle at any given weight?
I never leave the house without at least 1 Cold Steel blade on me.
Every day, and not just one
Nice blade stick man!!!!!
Amazing 👏
Really didn’t like cold steel because of the same old tri-ad lock and for not being able to fidget. But this one is a great improvement and I would definitely buy one. I would also like to see the strength test on 3” version.
I never thought the Tri-ad lock would ever be beaten. Leave it to Cold Steel to not only outdo the competition, but also themselves. Hats off, guys. 🙌
check out gideontactical's review of the engage and you will instantly change your mind😉 he batoned with both, the atlas and the triad, the triad didn't care at all but the atlas started to rattle like crazy.
@@TH-cam-Censorship-Policeexactly. I'm glad he demonstrated how strong the atlas lock was and turns out it didn't even last that long before the mechanism started rattling like a snake. Now the shark lock on the other hand, DID NOT rattle like a snake when Gideontactical tested by batoned. My recommendation is get yourself a shark lock over atlas lock. Or tri ad lock or scorpion lock. Whatever is your preference. 😊
Well philipbrennan? Any thoughts?
@@techfrank2431
It sounds like my initial impression was off. I was merely reacting based on this video alone. I knew nothing of the lock before my comment.
@@MasterPhilip616 that's good to know. Careful research is important. I thought the same thing before doing research carefully. Glad I did.
u.s. marine vet here , love the recon tanto/tanto types with partially serrated blades , where can get super cheap , thanks guys > tom !
@@xlilnetx hey bro if you wanna trade, email me or message me , + i am tracking down a tactical flashlight too, can only trade blades/etc right now though , let me know please, thanks > tom !
In the whack test, it the knife moves when whacked it doesn't seem to be testing the lock mechanism very well. When the blade was turned toward the shelf in the whack test it was hitting the handle and not the blade. Was that intended?
I wonder how much side pressure they can actually take. How does it work after all the weight?
Glad CS is continuing on with the same values. Got to save my pennies and nickels so I can try out an Atlas Lock and maybe do a write up on it.
Also stick. Don’t stand there bro. That stand breaks you gotta knife handle going through your chest
Thank you very much
All he needs is a kevlar or plated vest & helmet w/face shield. 😎👍
@@MA-lq6eb kevlar doesn’t stop knives….
@@rushgush Almost Every Level 3A Firearm Kevlar Armored vest TODAY is Knife/Pointed Edge/Stab Proof. And, of course, STEEL PLATE Armor is as well.💥🔫💥🏹💥🗡💥🔪
I can understand the reason behind the development of this new Atlas lock. It seems just as strong and tough as the Tri-Ad lock but offers a more “fidgety” lock that is very popular in the industry. In smaller edc size knives I can see the benefit of the Atlas Lock over the Tri-Ad lock. However, given the legendary strength of the Tri-Ad lock I feel it is still better suited for larger knives like the Sr-1, 4-Max, Rajah 2, etc. I hope CS keeps both locks unless the Atlas is proven to be superior.
Nice!
Let me know when you make a 5 inch or longer version
You should let it hang for a lot longer than your 1 second. That would be impressive. You should also show the lock works after every test weight. No disrespect, but I really miss Demko.
Yes would've been nicer with a spead up vid showing it hold a few minutes. BUT STILL IMPRESSIVE!😎👍
A.Demko is sitting back with stuffed pockets after this deal with GMS
They literally lower the cart, pull it out, put it back in and lift it back up the same way in the Demko proof videos. You "fans" are something else.
Yeah I was thinking that. They can do it on the next. You have to show it still works after the test
Where’d you get “1 Second” from? I counted 10 whole seconds lol… and 7-8!seconds on the 726lb test.
Put this lock on your Luzons and Crawford m1s and you'll have something. I have nothing but praise for CSs fixed blades and the Triad lock folders, but the CS liner locks I've had were just not good.
Hi Sticky, Can you please do a baton test with the engage?
I heard they were making a new 6 inch folder with that lock on Blade HQ, imagine how fidgety that would be.
YES!!!!!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!. Cold steel rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. 😎
My 1917 Bowie that I broke baton splitting firewood may even be that strong...after I weld it back together ( for the 2 nd time!) 🤣 To be fair I have a Trail Master & a Kukri plus that have so far proved unbreakable 👍🗡🗡🔥 I own a few voyagers that are great knives. Keep up the great work, However when you have a bad model that fails I will show it and call it out in a very Fair and nothing but the truth manner! Thanks for your great work & Keep it up 👍❤🗡⚔🌲🔥🇺🇸
use an axe….. 🤦🏻🤦🏻
@@rushgush I do use axes, I test the large knives like that for the purpose of showing the importance of the axe, and the danger of using flawed knife designs. 🗡🔥
👍👏Fantastic💪😊
Ya, I'm in! 👊🏼🇺🇲👊🏼
YES
Can’t wait for the mayhem
Hmmm.... Impressive!
Monster
So when will they be available?
June 1 is what I am told
i fucking love cold steel
When can I buy one?
Let's see those spine whacks, stabbing,batoning and cutting tests it may hold alot of weight but let's see if it can handle what the triads can.
Two suggestions and requests Cold Steel
1. make Scottish Dirk in tactical version with securex sheath
2. make GI Tanto to a sword with abt. 40-45 cm long blade and 23-25 cm long handle. Max. total length 60-66 cm
720 pounds is what the XL espada holds in weight. WOW that's impressive
This looks stronger than the Tri-ad lock.
Is there a chance for a fixed blade voyager series?
I would think the SRK Compact would cover that area Have you tied one, yet? I plan to soon. Also, the Mini Leathernecks are just way too cool. I got to have one.
@@JoelBrothers I just like the voyager profile especially a fixed blade XL version of the series I would get one of every folding version I have, and I don't like rubber handle on more expensive knives and tools I've had too many fail.
@@danielslater4092 I agree. It's really hard to beat the venerable Voyager series. I have 3, and carry one daily. XL Clip Point, XL Tanto Point, and L Tanto. All with the original lock (before they came out with the Triad system...). I've had them since the 1980s (I think...).
wait so It's stronger than the tri ad lock?
did he really just say "stickman out"
I use two guys for my "wack"
Tony & Bruno.....then I fig-gid-a-'bout-it
😎
Put a flipper tab on um for added security if lock fails & more fidget ability?
✌️🤟🤙
you can't use flipper tabs with that lock
@@tunturikuningas5393 looking at lock it would be possible if 2 locking bars were used instead but that might takeaway strength & add weight?
If sog’s can figure it out with XR lock , I have confidence others will too.
It doesn’t need to be a great flipper but the added protection of flipper (if weakest point breaks) might save a digit or 2!
I thought it was impossible when Someone told me I’d be carrying all my music on a tiny device that fit in my pocket.
✌️🤟🤙
@@luckybassturd7260 it would requre big changes on the lock and would make it weak in my opinion. Also, flipper would not fit in design. And i dont only mean with flipper its ugly to me, but also really impractical to carry. So you would need different knife to implement it i think.
@@krystofmraz yep scarp this one & redesign it. 😂
I’d only want a flipper tab as a safety on axis style locks.
@@luckybassturd7260 this is not axis stile lock, it's more similar to triad lock because there is bar not axial to the blade which is moving but rather solid pin instead and bar is moving paralel to the blade to plug the space between pin and blade. basically, it's similar to triad lock but instead of lever there is sliding bar to clog the gap. Only similar mechanism with flipper capability is compression lock theoretically, but I don't know about single knife using this combination, maybe there is still pin in the way which is hard to relocate.
Hey Stick, a favor to ask for the next blade design. Some of the fellas and i were talking, ya know, the fellas that have over 100 folding pieces in CS collection: We would like the 4MAX to have an Atlas Lock and we want a 4max Atlas with a Tanto Blade design in 35vn steel. Can you make that happen for us? For the people that spend that money on Cold Steel?
🇺🇸👉Crowd Source: WHO WANTS A 4MAX ATLAS WITH TANTO BLADE???
Is this knife Inbred?
RIP Cold Steel
Like the strength of it
Impressive but is it Fidgety there Stick?
no not at all...just me...lol
AH MAN! I thought Cold Steal came out w/ a pad lock. THAT I could use.
The mailbox test lol
I’d take a rajah 2 in this lock
i watched gideontactical's review of the engage and the thing started to rattle like an old man's bones after a bit of slight batoning, then he did the same with a recon 1 and the triadlock literally shook it off like it was nothing.
the new atlas lock looks like a huge fail.
You need to get your blade steel back in line
Drop the Natchez Bowie already!
People want to know if you’ll ever put the Atlas lock on the Voyager XL! Please!
Great lock. Now please do the world a favour and bring back the prussian saber and Austrian saber.
I like blades at least 4 inches.
It's probably called the atlas lock 'case it could hold up the weight of the earth on it's shoulders.
Looks alot like the demkos shark lock . For see a lawsuit inc
Haha nice ))
Wow
there was never any announcement that the drifter was renamed the engage, this contradicts the lineup that was announced and will confuse buyers who were looking for it.
maybe they had legal issues regarding with naming , as crkt have a drifter
@@PeterCF Announce it then. Hardcores knew this was why. It was a major fail to even prototype anything with that name and then announce it when the crkt has a bestseller with the same name. Looks bad that its silently brushed over with a new name, what else will be covered up is what I'm worried about.
Here we go ohh yeah!!!! Costs too much tho $249 the weight held to cost ratio is not a good price determining factor just so you know😂😂😂😂😂😂(joking honestly its priced pretty well for what your getting)
Not just a knife company anymore. I called to find out if the commercial series knives were quality enough to stick to wall magnet and the lady said no…their stainless steel. What the Hell! Of course they’re stainless! They were in fact HC enough to be magnetic but they couldn’t tell me that amounts the entire office of people. SMH
Did y’all steal that Lock Design from Demko? I really love the old CS knives the New GSM Designs are Pure Gas Station looking knives. With that being said I will be Switching to another knife Company for here on out. Good Job GSM on Destroying a Damn Good Company.
Try to make a good pocketclip. The pocketclips on youre knives are a nightmare.
720 lbs seems a little excessive for a lanyard, though... lol!
Nice!!! 🤙🤙🔪🔪
I hope the company will make the Zulfiqar sword.. that will be amazing
The sword of Zulfiqar is the sword of Imam Ali (a)
