Perfect example of why i love this company. Never see any other knife companies going out in a field stabbing random shit to display how sturdy their knives are. He is having genuin fun doing this and it puts a smile on my face.
Unfortunately, if its benchmade it would be "DNC blacklisted/ illegal 🚫 knives" made from legal firearms confiscated through "RED FLAG LAWS"! Benchmade SUCKs, very over-priced anyway...
I've always been a sucker for double edge daggers, and Cold Steel does them like nobody else. Tai Pan, Peacekeeper, Counter Tac, Shanghai Shadow and Warrior, etc. Keep 'em coming, guys. 👍
One thing that I have always admired about Cold Steel is that when they make a knife and showcase it; They always talk about how easily it could kill someone. No other company does this. At least they are very honest and because of that all of my daily carry knives have that Cold Steel logo on them. I appreciate companies being honest about their designs. The CEO show casing them like Mr. Thompson here does is another major selling point. He is not some guy sitting in an office watching profit margins, he is the true leader of the company. He designs a lot of these knives for him to fight with himself. Seriously such an amazing company. The wasp isn't quite my style so i will not be getting one but I think a lot of people really would love this knife. I peffer single edges heavier knives for multitasking purposes. It was always funny at work when the liberals saw me whip out my Espada XL to cut open a box.
Lynn nice knife and I would say your company puts out some great products I remember you guys from the old gun shows and all the good deals on the tables . Keep doing what you do.
It's hard to not buy cold steel product when they have a owner like lynn Thompson. I love this guy. I hate seeing people rag on dude in the comments when he cares much more about the products he sends you then the ppl at these other companies. Keep up the good work lynn
He’s right, I wouldn’t want to go head 2 head with him playing Fruit Ninja. I’ll probably end up getting this knife, I already have the drop forged boot knife and the drop forged Hunter and have had nothing but positive experiences with those blades.
Just got mine. I wasn't expecting the sturdiness of this stout and "razor sharp" dagger! A "DAGGER"!!! There is NO BS in this video. I never seen a dagger like this. To say that I really, REALLY LIKE it... is an understatement! Getting another!!!
First time viewer like how you actually use the weapon you made that's fuc%kin cool man nice work brother love the line "that's a big ass hole" fuc%kin floored me
Even though I fully trust Cold Steel and have beaten the crap out of several of their products and know they can take it. I'm glad they show there was little to no damage to the knife after stabbing the steel to make believers out of the skeptics.
Another good job for Coldsteel it is like the best sentry knife since FairbairnSykes Fighting knife, I love the grooves and the design simple but very very sturdy. Keep it up team Coldsteel 👍👍👍.
Very nice! Reminds me of the Fairbairn Sykes knife used by the British military. I have the first version of the Drop Forged Survivalist myself. A tough knife that I use for chores inside and outside my house.
I used to love their advertising as a kid. I got a vg1 recon tanto and we used to smash cinderblocks and car hoods with it. Just scrap hoods like all hillbillies have laying around, not those on functioning cars lol. Then I got a benchmade and gradually began to look down on cold steel. I realized my foolish error this year when I handled a code 4 and ad-15. Wow!!! Wow!! You folks make some fine knives. I promptly headed down the street to my parents garden and picked up the recon, still exactly where I left it nearly a decade ago. We had used a palm sander on the blade and recoated it in undercoating under a thick clearcoat. I ground it up with some neat jimping and cut down the handle to make it look cool, then engraved it for a bespoke zombie slaying blade for my sister for xmas. Utter waste of a fine knife but the damage had been done in the throes of youthful ignorance so what's another hour under the grinding wheel? Thinned it down under the blade to emulate some of the nice slicing power of a hollow grind so it can serve as a kitchen knife and got a polished razor edge out of it. Definitely getting myself a wasp for xmas, what a cool knife!
I made a nice set of contoured micarta scales for mine. Which cover the whole of the handle, even the guard, now it is awesome. Made a leather sheath with a silent clasp. What a dagger!
Lynn is a fucking badass. Love cold steel. What he brings to the knife world is amazing. No matter what your budget is, you're getting a reliable blade.
I may just buy this knife. I think the very first video i saw of Lynn was with pepper spray a long time ago, his employees were taking blasts in the face to demonstrate its effectiveness, this is what got CS a loyal customer. Lynn took a blast to the face also, the man doesn't ask others to do anything he's not willing to do himself, that gave me a glimpse into his character and i can respect that.
I really need this in my collection..I currently have no fixed blade daggers,the only dagger knives I own are a couple OTFs and a single edge dagger blade Boker Kalashnikov 74 auto...this is just one of many I need in my collection
Thank you very much for uploading this video! Could you upload a video in which you compare the CS Taipan 3V version with the WASP, please? Thank you very much in advance.
The ability to quickly cut through ropes, straps, cords, wires, seaweed, vines could be life saving, especially if you are in a river, lake, or ocean environment. Serrations can cut through air craft aluminum.
I just got a box from Cold Steel delivered to my house yesterday.... It was just like Christmas! I felt like a 7 year old.... I love Lynn's vision! Great products and a price point for every customer. I'm still looking at my goods with glee. No one beats Cold Steel. No one even comes close.
How about coming to the east coast for some knife fighting or espada daga would love to learn some of you tips an trick I know you've trained with some of the greatest. Just got a new vaquero xl serrated to carry because my large g10 espada is now irreplaceable since you no longer use xhp but aus10a is great so far.
Americans are so lucky that they can get Cold Steel knives so cheap, us europeans have to pay about double the price.But i absolutely love them, i have the large voyager, 2 american lawmans(best edc knife ever made-)and a recon 1 tanto is on the way.Recon 1 spear point and the bush ranger are my next targets Also i love Lynn Thomsons style absolute alpha i would trust a man like this 1000 times more than some snake in a suit

Still waiting for the cold steel pizza cutter
I can imagine the promo video would be Lynn cutting the top off a Buick lol
You know it'll cut 200+ pies, before needing to be sharpened.
You'll enjoy this video...I promise. th-cam.com/video/BlZ00P-KuSs/w-d-xo.html
@@csknives I think I found my new pizza cutter.
Coldsteel battle spatula when?

Your comment put a smile on our faces.
Agreed its fuckin cool

176bammm like $400 for a small folder, no thanks! Spiderco and cold steel are the best!
@@csknives u guys can dish. out some serious knives i personally love the voyager
Long Live Lynn Thompson.
Too bad he sold cold steel!!!
@@Wildwestwrangler He will always be a great man.
This is the most Cold Steel thing Cold Steel has ever made...
And I like it!
How is this different than literally anything else they have done?
Lmao
Stabs through metal, “still quite pointy” ... pokes arm
I don't need another damn knife,
but I do need this knife!
I love all my Cold Steel knives.
Thank you Lynn Thompson!!!
Copy that!
I've always been a sucker for double edge daggers, and Cold Steel does them like nobody else. Tai Pan, Peacekeeper, Counter Tac, Shanghai Shadow and Warrior, etc. Keep 'em coming, guys. 👍
Those are a great line up!
The jumbo sized Shanghai Warrior, Smatchet machete, and old school Warhead, are also great double edge blades!
Don't forget the hideout! Scandi ground dagger, ground perfectly, insanely sharp and pointy!
I always love when Lynn uses his products. He's always got this "proud dad" look on his face 😁
*That Drop Forged Collection is a Massive bang for the Buck!*

Lynn Thompson: An American Bad Ass & one of my heroes.
Lynn Thompson..... Such a great American. Makes me proud.
I really like when el Jefe test his knifes. Big fan of CS since -92. Respect from north Sweden👍💪
I’d love to see a collab between Lynn Thompson and Phil Swift!
Lynn: *stabs ammo can*
Phil: NOW THATS A LOTTA DAMAGE
Impressive as always Lynn. Always loved the Absolute Proof DVDs.
Fairbairne-Sykes, meet the new century.
@Siward Beorn & all of them would be proud of that modern day design 👋👏👋👏👋 Oh Yeah Boi 😎🎱
@siward beorn I was thinking the same about the DF Boot knife. I could have an Applegate in my boot and a Sykes on my chest rig. Damn!
Thank you for the demonstration and video. I enjoy your products in training and use.
Lynn nice knife and I would say your company puts out some great products I remember you guys from the old gun shows and all the good deals on the tables . Keep doing what you do.
Stabs ammo can “thats a big ass hole” haha
I noticed that also. Hilarious..... 🇺🇸😎🇺🇸
Would this knife pierce cornbread? 🤔
Lynn noticed that when he said it you can tell lol
Lynn Thompson is my spirit animal. Keep em coming Lynn!!!
It's hard to not buy cold steel product when they have a owner like lynn Thompson. I love this guy. I hate seeing people rag on dude in the comments when he cares much more about the products he sends you then the ppl at these other companies. Keep up the good work lynn
Lynn gets a lot of love
4:50 Excuse me?
Tells it like he see's it haha
@@csknives Lynn's the best! 😎👍
I'm dying😅😂🤣
The multiple layers of leather is the real test, and that’s pretty hardcore.
Lynn, I just got my your Voyager XL Tanto plain edge, that thing is great! Thanks for thinking of us Lefty folks with the optional left side clip!
He will never answer you my goof.
He’s right, I wouldn’t want to go head 2 head with him playing Fruit Ninja. I’ll probably end up getting this knife, I already have the drop forged boot knife and the drop forged Hunter and have had nothing but positive experiences with those blades.

These reviews sell me in these knives. I have the boot knife and was curious about the Wasp. Now, I want one!!!😉👍🏼
Glad u added handles to this series! Great knife!
I don't need this one but I love my FGX Wasp. Well done Cold Steel !
Wish I could give this 2 thumbs up likes. Love CS and have had the honor of meeting Mr. Thompson. Genuine person and a great American.
Very nice! Reminds me of the Fairbairn Sykes knife used by the British military. I have the first version of the Drop Forged Survivalist myself. A tough knife that I use for chores inside and outside my house.
@Siward Beorn Thanks, man!
We need a 12" Drop Forged Bowie.
"If you're ever attacked by an apple, you know the wasp will do the job" This is why I love cold steel
CCP just brought Apple Daily down.
The amount of knives this man carries still blows me away.
Had my voyager for 3 years now and it's as sharp as it was the day I bought it.

Gotta say, perfect name for that knife! Keep stinging just like a wasp😂 I love it!!!
"Attacked by an apple"
☝🎅
😂
Clothing, flesh and bone stand NO chance with yet "another", excellent Cold Steel blade!!!
Very Cool Video & Knife. I Want One. Also I Wish Cold Steel Had Some Dangler Sheaths Or Dangler Attachments For Sheaths.
Lynn is a fucking badass. Love cold steel. What he brings to the knife world is amazing. No matter what your budget is, you're getting a reliable blade.
Cold Steel is the most boomer dad company in the world. I love it!
Lynn is such a nerd 🤣👍
Love that guy !
I may have to take another look at this. Very nice.
How can anyone not like this guy???
Love Lynn .great product great company

The way it went through them apples is barbarism.

Thanks should make more of the "A Day In the Life" videos. The 3 they've done so far were great videos.
Wow..now thats a cool dagger.perfect design.
That is really a fantastic dagger and made to do what a dagger should in any kinda weather 😎
Thank you very much for uploading this video!
Could you upload a video in which you compare the CS Taipan 3V version with the WASP, please?
Thank you very much in advance.
The guy is a teacher on how to run a business. You have to live the business.
The recon tanto is probably a close single edged comparison. I may have to get one.
I was scared for those horses in the background i thought they were going to be testing mediums 😂
Hopefully a Serrated one will be available eventually. I know the FGX one is Serrated but a metal version would be Awesome
Why the hell would anyone need a serrated version of this kind of knife?
They should
The ability to quickly cut through ropes, straps, cords, wires, seaweed, vines could be life saving, especially if you are in a river, lake, or ocean environment. Serrations can cut through air craft aluminum.
Cold Steel would have to change their serration pattern. The current pattern is far too delicate for heavy use.
This is why I love cold steel! Don’t know why i waited so long to purchase my first knife
I just got a box from Cold Steel delivered to my house yesterday....
It was just like Christmas! I felt like a 7 year old.... I love Lynn's vision! Great products and a price point for every customer. I'm still looking at my goods with glee. No one beats Cold Steel. No one even comes close.
Gotta love a big man that can move!! Get it bro.
Seems like a great concealed carry defense blade
i love how lynn still screams "DIE!"
Its the KIAI. It means "scream of ki" in japanese. Aka: IAAAAH!!!
@@James-Burton yeah i know i take martial arts
Looks like a good piece of kit for social work
Never stop making these I love it I want a hundred. I will buy one a month until I have a hundred.
But you lie...
i Love the look of this knife!!!
I want an hour video of just pure slow mo shots of this guy.
Sounds sexual my goon.
@@M60gunner1971 only a sexual being would think its sexual.
OR
I am making fun....hmmmm
Now scale that up into a modern Iberian Gladius.
Once upon a time, Lynn Thompson had a good ammo can.
I bet he’s a super nice dude.
Yep....Gotta have that one!!!💯👍👍
How about coming to the east coast for some knife fighting or espada daga would love to learn some of you tips an trick I know you've trained with some of the greatest.

Great value
Very rare to be attacked by an apple. But I was attacked by a bottle of water a few weeks ago.
That is also one of my favorite Dan Inosanto quotes! I heard it from Ron Balicki.
4:51 "That's a big ass hole."
Inflection is everything.
this is an excellent knife, it's also intimating and just seeing it on a person will deter conflict
Does this blade have an aroma?!
Looking for a get off me knife as a self defense weapon and daily EDC. I own the Recon 1 and added a Snaggletooth, but looking at other options.
"The Backwoods Cryptid poker! The Bigfoot toothpick...!"
And at a price that a soldier can afford and won’t cry too much if it’s lost.
This is going on the shopping list.
"That's a big ass hole" 🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
I like how the blade looks like a mini gladius
Every product I have owned from Cold Steel is amazing. And I trust my life and that of my family with every product I have that is Cold Steel
Did he just say "that's a big asshole"? Hahahahahaha!!!
Like a Gerber mark 2 but without the lame serrations
Coldsteel in 2 words performance and quality
Good quote,
#BETTERTHENYOUTHINK.
Very cool a little smaller and it would be a great boot knife.
Got two on order plus I am ordering another recon 1 clip point. Two of the knives I would stake my life on.
Got two on my wish list 😎😎🎱🎱
Love Lynn Thompson, cheers
Americans are so lucky that they can get Cold Steel knives so cheap, us europeans have to pay about double the price.But i absolutely love them, i have the large voyager, 2 american lawmans(best edc knife ever made-)and a recon 1 tanto is on the way.Recon 1 spear point and the bush ranger are my next targets
Also i love Lynn Thomsons style absolute alpha i would trust a man like this 1000 times more than some snake in a suit
Lynn has some pent-up aggression!
Less than 4 inch fixed blade that i can somewhat conceal belt carry what do you suggest
love the Inosanto reference
