This knife sucked terribly, worst damn knife I ever bought! Blade chipped, came with lots of play, and tip bent reeeeally bad. Scimitars aren't supposed to be knifes, I wish I could go back in time and punch myself for buying this shit.
I gotta say, I just bought one here in Canada and it is a wicked blade. I love this knife, I have been looking for one since I first saw it in the 2009 catalog and now I am a proud owned of a practical, well crafted, and rugged knife. Cold steel rocks, one of the only American companies I support willingly.
I wanted to get one, I also miss their scimitar spike with their cord wrapped handle. Cold steel please bring these back in their original design. I'd love to get the folder in a serrated version
@@michealbates6369 Enjoy the knife, my friend! I'm waiting for an opportunity to get one. Still, I have my 6" Ti-Lite and Voyager XL to keep my company.
@JosephNowhere I went to the Cold Steel Parking Lot sale this past weekend and asked Lynn Thompson himself this very question. He said that the titanium leaf spring lock in this knife was very expensive to produce, and the Scimitar wasn't selling well enough to justify keeping it in production. At the lot sale, they had the last of the Scimitars out for sale at about $40 each. I bought a few of them.
@keesurt De 9cm limiet telt alleen voor valmessen, stilettos en vlindermessen. Voor gewone zakmessen met een borging is 28 cm het limiet voor de lengte van het volledige mes. Bij voorbeeld: de cold steel pocket bushman en kudu zijn beiden met hun 26 cm al legaal om mee rond te sjouwen.
I had this knife and liked it a lot until the tip of the blade bent really bad and the blade itself chipped, tried to send it back for replacement but was denied, not a happy customer of Cold Steel. I'm wondering if the reason why this knife was discontinued was because of similar reports... I am thinking about getting another CS knife, but the last experience with the Scimitar left a bad taste in my mouth.
@tommie314101 I don't think it is, weapon laws in Holland and Belgium are very familiar, and in Belgium all knives with an automatic lock are illegal. So every lock that is activated when you deploy your knife is prohibited... if you want a locking knife to carry, try to buy a knife where you have to deploy the lock yourself !
im pretty sure that knife didnt hold the 125 lbs, just sayin it looked like it bent up pretty good in the vid. oh btw, im ordering a recon 1 tanto tip half serrated today
For a fighting knife, it seems a bit short. The important bits of a man are normally located in the back. You need at least 6 inches for a thin man to reach that far, if you go in up to the hilt. Arab knife fighting is different, and depends on deception and treachery, enough deception for your foe to let you get that close while armed with a knife, and enough treachery to snatch out the knife, reach past him, and pull the knife towards you thru his kidney. For that, this knife is admirable
So in 25 years you've never lost? How does this kind of fight work? The survivor wins? Is that like street fighting where people say "yeah! fight fight fight!"? Or is a sports people practice saturday night outside a nightclub?
idk man all i know is that once i bought a bencmade knife i fell inlove with it and i kept buying knives of them and iv never had a problem with them soo i just talk about my experience i say benchmade is nr1 then cold steel
What 25 years of 'Knife Training' gets you: -Ability to poke a hole through a thin sheet of metal. -Incredible cutting ability on soft materials such as rope. -Incorrect Pull-up form. -Ability to impressively cut and stab raw meat with incorrect form. -One ugly ass knife. Spyderco > All.
im waiting for the day the Scimitar comes back
It really is a shame they discontinued this knife, it's one of my favorite ones they've made!

Bring the Scimitar back again with a Tri-ad lock. Where I live, I am limited to a 3.5 inch blade.
i still have my scimitar serrated model. extremely rare nowadays
One of my favorite folders of all time. It's pretty much perfect
This is one of my favourite knives. I'd love to get my hands on one.
@deCode666 Yesterday, my best friend just got me one that was in "like new" condition. It's pretty friggin cool.
@@michealbates6369 Enjoy the knife, my friend! I'm waiting for an opportunity to get one. Still, I have my 6" Ti-Lite and Voyager XL to keep my company.
@deCode666 What blade style is your voyager? I love my tanto version. Seriously, it's probably one of my favorite knives along side the AD10.
@@michealbates6369 I have a clip point plain edge. It's my "poor man's Espada" :D
He is far from "out of control"... he is totally IN control. Lynn Thompson is a knife fighting master, didn't you know???
It's really sad they discontinued this design, and also that they only use vg1 on a very few knives anymore.

Will you guys be making any other scimitar blades?
The scimitar is my favourite sword.
Having that guy do pull-ups on the handle is pretty hardcore.

@tommie314101 Those who care about laws always become the subjects of those who do not.
I LOVED mine. Never had a knife that felt so natural. It was stolen. 😟
scimitar' are top quality slashing blades.
haha. "Can you grow new fingers? If you can't..."
I want it.
Hey CSKnifes will you guys ever make these again? I can't find them on your website.

yes, it is. Despite Runescape's slang calling it a "skimmy" it is indeed, an S sound,
Ha I want a big scimitar broadsword!
Cold Steel+Eskrima=Death on two legs.
@85ccmaster did not seee that.......kinda looks like the face of oogie boogie from the "night before christmas"!!!.....hahahahahahahaha

Cold steel has to shoot that thing with a .45 !
Pause it at 5:37, the meat looks like a face ha ha

Otherwise, nice knife
It's called the talwar now and has a batter looking handle
