The Cold Steel Black Sable is critically reviewed as an expensive collector's item rather than a practical tactical tool. Its primary drawback is a poorly designed thumb stud leading to difficult one-handed deployment. While aesthetically striking with its San Mai III blade, its high price point and weight are not justified by its performance, especially when compared to alternatives like the Cold Steel Black Rhino.

This video reviews the Buck Sirus knife, focusing on its collectible appeal rather than its practicality as an EDC or tactical knife. The reviewer highlights its attractive "looks department" with striking colorations, making it a cool addition to a collection. However, they point out several functional drawbacks including its weight (3.9 oz), slick scales, an intrusive cam lock, and moderate deployment speed. The reviewer suggests improvements like lighter scales, a stronger assist spring, lower pricing (deemed "pricey" for 420HC steel), and a minimized cam lock. Ultimately, while its features are considered "lackluster," its aesthetic qualities are praised.
