Cold Steel Code 4 Review. Their most reasonable and maybe best every day carry?

- Cold Steel makes a lot of ridiculous knives, but they also make some nice stuff like the Code 4 that anyone can carry and enjoy. This is a lightweight knife with aluminum scales, and a tough Tri-Ad lock mechanism. In this video I test lock strength unscientifically by batoning, install a bottle opener on my stump, and wonder if God understands satire. If you like the sort of stuff I'm laying down here, you can support my video making and every day carry gear habits by buying the Code 4 through Amazon.

"I feel like Lynn Thompsons in my pocket. " I'm dead
You’d be dead if he was there- with a tactical artery severing.
You're "ADVANCED"... had me rolling!!!
Fun video, thanks. I bought the Code 4 this week. First thing that struck me was the slickness of the scales - very slick - and how thin it is. I bought the serrated version because Lynn Thompson says it is 3 times better at cutting through flesh - and who am I to argue. Ran my fingers along the blade like I do with all my straight blade knives, and sure enough, it cut the hell out of me. Guess Lynn is right.
I like this knife. I own one and it is a little slick but has a great mouth feel.
Ahh... jungle mouth carry.
That’s what she said
Lol I see what you did there. Good one.
Lmao
This reminds me of the guy who walks up and says " hey did I ever tell you about the time my ex-girlfriend was going to give me a blow job?!!!! " Yep you're that guy!!!
Never carry serrated. Carrying a serrated knife reflects poorly on your parents.
This is true. Even partially serrated, still means they were assholes.
I HATE SERRATED KNIVES, but last week I mistakenly ordered a CS Recon 1 XL. Now I'm beginning to think that knives ARE weapons. Bread and other flour based comestibles tremble as I approach.
I have a fully serrated endura 4.... yeah you're right. Ok yes, I will carry sometimes.
@@AdvancedKnifeBro Ill fight u guys
@@gbiscuits he'll just punch you in your biscuits!!! Fight over, you on the ground bro!!!
Cold Steel is a company that has managed to win my reluctant respect despite their best efforts. Even though they do everything possible not to be taken seriously as a knife manufacturer, they do make some durable, high value folders.
This is basically my feeling.
Real guy saying real stuff that normal dudes want to learn about knives we can actually purchase while staying under the wife's radar for "senseless toy acquisition"... we won't refer to the $600 rotisserie cooker thats powered by Buddhist Monk farts and has been used once, ONCE LISA, ONCE!!!!!
FirstSergeant Yellzalot Trade you a $550. blender (used twice).
Mmm... buddhist monk farts.
Yeah...Turns out Elon Musk is re-vamping the Teslas to run solely on monk farts.
Lol 😆 sucks to be married, you basically gave away any freedom you'll ever have....how enjoyable 🤣
If this was a Knives, Beer, Whiskey, and Cigars channel that would be sick. All my vices in one place. Subbed for what may be.
I love Advanced knife bro's seriousness and sarcastic nature 😂
I live in Virginia Beach near First Landing actually. Crazy to know my favorite knife reviewer and a real TH-cam celebrity was so close. Hope you had fun.
Crazy or creepy? Maybe he knows he's your favorite reviewer and he's stalking you! Maybe you should ask him to "Play Misty for me".
Lone Stranger Oh shit wtf is his problem
Nice... it's a good area!
I would consider this channel the best reviews on yt especially with all the satire
10:04 YAY! God DOES understand satire!😃
Like your style. Love my code 4 after 2 weeks breaking it in and learning to 1 hand it without chopping a finger off.
I recently purchased the tanto version of the code 4 s35vn steel. The action is smooth, the blade is tight, with no play, and it slides in and out of pockets without abrading the fabric.
It has the slim profile of my all stainless spyderco endura, but has thicker blade stock. It’s a more refined version of the cold steel recon 1...
It’s thin, light weight, very capable, and doesn’t scream mall ninja.
Anyone can review a freaking knife. But no one like you do! Thank you! Enjoyed it very much!
Although I apparantly missed some dick jokes in this one, if you believe other comments here!
You and Nyanners are the reason I'm ride or die for cold steel. Thanks for the laughs.
Thanks Bro. I took your advice years ago,
and bought this knife. Now i have a reasonable car, fully paid off, and live in a large house on a cul-de-sac.
Im not gonna credit you for that last part, but you werent wrong, and its been a great knife.
I love my Code 4 Tanto tip.Awesome blade,wicked sharp S35VN.Thanx for the awesome content.
I always love discussing my length and girth, especially when I draw comparisons to everyday objects like Fuentes, Mont Blancs and other budget priced phallic objects most people would have lying in their kitchen drawer.
"Buy this knife, and never watch TH-cam again!"... Love it!
I would if the handles were FRN and it had a opening hole and LT had nothing to do with it.
Lone Stranger
I was just referencing his comment in the video. I thought it was funny.
Personally, I don't care for the blade either!
man, truly entertaining. has become my favorite channel , don't tell birdshot !
#metoo
Pretty freaking awesome channel. Thanks for your time
Wow. One of my favorite TH-camrs doing a video on one if my favorite knives.
Thanks man!
I fuggin love you buddy. I get home from a shiddy day at work and one or two of your videos have me chuckling happily and feeling a ton more relaxed. Thank you bro
Ah Cedric and Ada along with advanced knife bro... wasted another couple of hours of my life that I will never get back. But it is always a good and fun time. Having a mental disability and making youtube videos= pure enjoyment for the rest of us! Seriously though, my friends and I watch them all... to include the dreaded beer videos. Keep on making them and we will keep watching them.
Thanks man!
The humor in your channel is underrated! You deserve more viewers! I love it.
Great video as always! Can't imagine how much time it takes to film and edit your videos. They come across and view as highly polished with great narration.
The Code 4 is an awesome blade, With great materials , At at even better price. I call it CS gentleman folder, As it's very smooth scales arn't the best for hard use. Thank you for video.
It takes a while- thanks man!
Heheh I feel your pain - me spends two days filming (and three days editing) a 45 minute outdoor comedy vid - gets 2,500 views.
Then I spend about two hours total the next day doing a 10 minute steel test which gets more views, quicker. I’m an idiot.
#virtualhobbiesworldproblems
I learned my lesson with long form videos a while back where I did the one about drive ins. I spend way too much time editing and writing to make this channel a worthwhile endeavor. Beer videos are my way of generating content that's easier and quicker to make than a standard knife review. It's why I don't do light reviews any more really. Other than a few guys like you most people do not fully understand the commitment it takes to make a 15 minute video about an illumination device. Shit... I spent 45 minutes at my table this morning measuring 4 knives, and converting everything to metric.
You're an undiscovered treasure, Pete.
Those of us who watch your channel know how invaluable your presence is in the knife community. I watch Shabazz, Dutch Bushcraft Knives, Virtuovice, Michael Christie and tons more, and your content is without question what I look forward to the most. Not only are you funny as fuck, but you review folders, fixed blades and multitools, and you're a proper steel nerd. Plus, you're relatable and come across as a genuinely sincere and good guy. That's rare, man.
As for you, my advanced bro... What can I say? You make me laugh.
Hey bro, and Pete, you guys and your efforts are appreciated by many. TH-cam wouldn't be nothing to me without you two and maybe Shabazz. Anyways yeah, keep up the good work...by the way, do you have to finish a vid for it to count as a view? And is it views or likes that help yall get paid?
AKB and C&A FTW!
Seriously, AKB life hacks have changed my life.
Dickhead Survival is pure gold.
These are the only two channels that make me laugh out loud. I will skip a Shabazz video or even watch a minute or so and switch to something else. These two guys though, I watch every video to the bitter end... even if it is 5 minutes of watching some dude baton and drink beer off of a stump.
You commenting on my bff's channel aroused my curiosity in your channel. Looks good. Subscribed.
Maybe review hardcore malt liquors in large containers and brown paper bags? That would get my attention.
chris k how many tall boys do you think AKB could shotgun consecutively before becoming advanced prone bro? Content like that might get the clicks.
Stark Parker indeed
Ok... I do plan on the 40s... and this comment helped me make it better- when I do it of course.
Well done, sir! The work is appreciated. I just ordered this knife.
Nice, hope you like it!
Yo. Best knife review video I’ve seen in the past ten minutes and four seconds. Keep it up, AKB! 😁
My dude!
Thumbs up as usual. Your humor is rich and compelling.
Thanks man!
I've never made a video but I appreciate the time you spend making this content. Subscribed last week, watched over 50 videos so far. I had time....
I know you and this comment showed up in my last video... but I'm going back and spending 2 hours reading all of my old comments!
"Might be too slick if you're constantly drenched in the blood of your victims". Comedy Gold
Good video ! Love my Code4 clip point in that marvelous CTS XHP Steel !! catch you on the next one
I did watch a beer video last week, thank you very much.
Did you watch two?????
Advanced Knife Bro Yes, but only one of them was yours.
In my opinion their most reasonable and best EDC is their Italian-made and discontinued Storm Cloud, but the Code 4 is great. I occasionally carry mine when I don't want a lot of weight or knife handle in my pocket, but the folder I carry most is probably my Sebenza.
Beer and Cold Steel Knives. What a great combo!
"For wet or lotiony hands"
"With deep spray and tans and creamy lotiony hands, they can't grip a tackle box."
Thanks Bro.
I was hoping for another PBR video. But, I can never seem to get everything I want.
You sure as hell can't go wrong with a Code 4 video though. A fantastic knife! and I love mine.
🔪🍺👍😀
I got a Hamms coming sometime.
I am proud to be here for the beer reviews primarily ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽✊🏼
Agreed in that it's the only cold steel I've ever liked.
Emotional blackmail... now I feel I have to watch your beer review.
Research is only valid when beer reviewed. Remember that.
I like this guy but maybe he's not sardonic enough. Needs to work on his sardonism, yeah, it's a word. At the risk of offending a guy with so many choppy metal things.
I love your choice of beer!!!
You have a dry sense of humor...I like it. Although i am one of those who think it is a bit on the large size and own one, great vid.
BRO!! I just bought one of these in the CTS-XHP before I couldn't find them anymore. I hear from "the internets" that S35vn is actually less gooder, less better, less buenofied. Who knows? ....just stoked to get one. Cheers!
We were at several State Parks and State Forests along the Lake Superior North Shore last week. Thanks for asking, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro.
Nice! I've been camping off Lake Michigan once 6 or 7 years ago.
I’m not even into knives, I just watch your videos for the banter between the spec shots.
Thanks man!
Hey, I guess we TH-cam viewers don't drink as much beer as we love cutlery! Hmmm, that's weird! Love your reviews Bro!
I guess not!
The Cold Steel code 4 doesn't resemble Lynn Thompson in any way! Lynn isn't flat and polished and he certainly isn't from Taiwan. Nice review, keep em coming and I'll keep liking.
Do we know exactly where he was born? I haven't seen his birth certificate!
Advanced knife Bro That's because martial artists like him aren't born, they descend from the sky! With a lot of tactial noise, of course.
@@danielbeekhuizen1511 cause he's a MAN MAN MAN!!!! Titties and beer!!! 🍻
He's the king of dickhead survival!!!
Lynn Thompson rules by slicing faces!!!
Love your commentary! BTW, this same knife is my current EDC. I have huge hands and it fits me perfectly! Thanks, again, and keep up the great knife reviews!
First one handed close I did with my ad10 bit me..... lesson learned.
More beer videos. Also more knife videos. Just more videos generally I guess. Love your work Bro.
I'll try!
I like your humor, we would have a good time doing beer reviews. Nice piece for a cold steel also. Good job
Can we get a beer pairing video, but for knives instead of food?
Your beer spooged on you. Good Review and take a look at Westmoreland State Park.
Bro... I had my wedding there. Got some sharks teeth too.
Love the Code 4 and enjoy your intermittent beer reviews. Since you are "Advanced", you can do whatever the hell you you want on TH-cam!
Ahhh knife bro always makes my day better ;) very well done sir
Thanks dude!
A friend of mine just messaged me saying he ordered me the spear point Code 4. From everything I'm seeing I'll be having an absolute blast with it 😈
Oh it’s a nice one!
Code 4 is my beater knife. It's hard to beat for the price.
Good user blade for the money
Thanks for the video...I've been thinking about scooping one of these. Keep on doing the good stuff!!
Dude, still my fave knife reviewerer!!!!
Love the Advanced Knife reviews.
Thanks man!
Next step: half drunken knife disassembly videos 🍺🌈💥 or drunken beer batoning.
Drunken long distance knife throwing while on a riding lawnmower!!! Say... Whhaaatttt!!!!!
As usual great video. Just don't let it get to your head, because there was one flaw, the comment about not cutting your finger because you are advance. Well I remember seeing one of the older vids where I a finger with a wrap, band aid, well maybe you were not all that advanced back them, Hahahaa..............................Hell, finger cuts are not that bad. I was fooling around with a CS Bushman folder, the stringy thing in the rear broke loose and I stabbed myself in the leg, blade went in about 1.5 inches. Scare thing is that it missed my left testicle by about .25 inch. I bled for about 2 days until the cut closed. I kept the knife and pull it occasionally to remind me about it.
Wait, are you saying I wasn't being 100% truthful???? Ok that's true.
Love the video!
Short sweet and to the f’ing point!
I can’t believe how many knife videos out there are +15 minutes and they don’t even say as much as you do in yours. Sorry I’m rambling.
I ramble too... that's why I do voiceovers, so I can cut that out! Thanks man, check out some of my other videos if you get a chance.
Even though I own a Spyderco Sharpmaker and this knife, I've never sharpened it on the Sharpmaker, only on Fallkniven DC4. I use the Sharpmaker on all of my kitchen knives but on my EDC I want total portability/independance. You'll never catch me with a folder that doesn't shave hair.
Your videos are good, and that's all that matters. The world will understand... someday.
thanks man!
I kinda like the beer reviews , guess I shouldn't brag about that.
Looking through the comment section makes me glad. I'm not the only one using this knife as a kitchen knife. 10/10 gg wp
What a great beer you´re drinking there! It´s my favourite.
I have been watching god awful knife reviews for years and yours is by far the most tragic. You have yourself a new subscriber and IG follower!
I remember first seeing this in the store was surprised how thin and light it was. Also looked pretty good fit and finish than what I thought of cold steel. Beforehand my exposure was the spartan my friend hand and I thought it sort of look like junk.
So this was an entry knife into cold steel and actually xhp is quite good. They are downgrading switching to S35vn.
Eventually sold it because I felt the triad was overkill for smaller edc knives. It’s more suited for 4 max and rajah 2 etc.
Yeah... because honestly you shouldn't baton with them!
As always.. great video thanks
I like the beer reviews but hey I watch all of the vids.
Thanks man!
4:20
Well shit... a knife that can't be lotiony isnt the knife for me.
I totally understand th-cam.com/video/Q2wZr8Z7EpI/w-d-xo.html
ha ha!
My clip point Code 4 has the S35VN Blade Steel, I use it every day has good edge retension, and easy to carry. Good value at $79.95
Anybody who hasn't seen this dude's zima review is missing out. The "beer", that is
“Changing times, changing punishments for the damned”....?? sorry Bro, I’m stealing that one.
The only Cold Steel I own two of. Pretty damned good knife.
Lynn is proud.
Damn , im not really into knifes.. I stumbled in your channel because of the nutsac bag review... And now im im hooked and interested about knifes lol...light years maybe in becoming advance lol.
Advance Knife Bro, when I first heard that you were doing a Cold Steel 4 review, I was like, “Did I just time warp back to 2014?” But then I watched it, and I was like, “Oh, this is ADVANCED and a tremendous addition to the literature on this knife.” When are you going to be more like your brother, Cutlery Lover, and start reviewing Zippos?
I need to start smoking cigars.
Thumbs up even before watching it
My man!
wish i'd started with this video and heard that bit about a decent car and a house...ill probably pick this one up though. You know, when the dopamine wears off from my next two knife deliveries.
I actually do like this knife. Thanks for reviewing it. I'll now continue drinking and binge watching your videos, buying shit online while my wife sleeps.
I moved with only 3-4 knives, the rest being packed away. Now I have about 12-15 more in the span of a month and a half.
Now that's a knife.....can't go wrong with the code 4.....
It's a good budget blade!
No instaspam, fakebook or twatter for me, no way in hell. So you're SOL there bud. Sorry. I still watch PajamaboyTube against my better judgement simply because it's still mildly entertaining. And because you still post some good vids. Love the line "...constantly drenched in the blood of their victims." Don't hear that enough these days. And LMAO at the "...God understands satire, statement." Well said, Sir. And he most certainly does or you're all screwed. Cheers!
Yep! Thanks man!
Nice job. Between this and a Manix2 lightweight, what would you get? How about between this and an Endura?
God, my index finger is so messed up from years of inattentive triad figeting.
Pay attention bro. Lynn can't be there supervising you all the time.
I have the spear point one, great knife for the price. The aluminum handles do not destroy denim like the CS G-10, sorry Recon1/Broken Skull-ers.
Oh I thought denim wear was a good thing!
Advanced Knife Bro Hahaha, it is unless you wear the same jeans for 10 years! Then, you have to quit your regular job, patch up your jeans, and become a hobo clown. Hobo clowns with cool knives are so underrated.
Thanks again for the sweet Bros Blades knife you have me
Hope a junk drawer is liking it somewhere!
Awesome video!
Cold steel code 4 is very nice grip tape can make it tactical durable knife thin and light enough to be a gentlemen’s folder as well
Love your freking videos hahhaha the best
It's a great knife ! Would like it to be a little more pointed but it's still great !
S30v is reinvented 440c ! My s30v has to be sharpened just ass munch ass my 440c !
I looked it up the s30v blank they load into the cnc machine is $20.00 no dicounts for volume knife co. buying or anything !
They aren't knife makers they are cnc machine loaders and unloaders assemblers and mailers ! To say reeves is a knife maker is like saying a framer or electrician is a carpenter that can build a house from the ground up !
Funny the cnc machine computer operator never gets a mention !
I love me a Leffe. Be warned tho, can induce hangover if you go past 3 bottles
Oh I know!
I need to step my beer game up. The party store a mile from my house only has like 4 good beers. Meijer has some good ones
Yep... big grocery stores have nicer beers than they used to.
Broken Skull is better value than the Endura methinks. You don’t ‘need’ it tho. But for a slim edc that packs a lot of blade at low weight with great steel, it can’t be beat at the price.
Wack a snaggletooth on the Colossus. There’s a video there. Might even be 10:05 worth. I’m sure Rob from snaggletooth will send you a complementary one, given your standing in the Knife (and beer and flashlight) community.
Or at least 10:01!
I have the cts-xhp version clip point in a full serrated edge. I usually don't like serrations on anything and still don't, but it works and makes surprisingly effective cuts
I know this is an older video but since I've got one of these coming in the mail tomorrow i had to check out your review. Satire is the best attire, wear that shit on your sleeve.
Awesome review as always, thank you.
Thanks man!
