The Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter, a collaboration between Andrew Demko and Lynn Thompson, is reviewed as a robust 'Hardcore EDC' rather than just a hunting knife. Its design features milled G10 handles without steel liners, reducing weight while maintaining strength, and utilizes the highly secure Tri-Ad lock. The CTS XHP steel offers excellent performance for edge retention and durability.
The Cold Steel American Lawman is a redesigned tactical folder weighing 4.4 oz, significantly lighter than its predecessor due to the removal of steel liners. It features a 3.5-inch AUS8A blade with a hollow grind and strong tip, secured by the robust Tri-Ad lock. The G10 handle offers excellent traction, making it a top-tier choice for hard-use EDC and defensive roles.
The Cold Steel AK-47 series, particularly the redesigned Large and Mini models, offers significant improvements in weight reduction and lock strength. Featuring Andrew Demko's Tri-Ad lock and AUS8A steel, these knives are praised for durability and ease of maintenance. The Mini is ideal for EDC, while the Large serves as a tactical or collectible option.
This video reviews the Cold Steel Mini Lawman folding knife, highlighting several significant design flaws. The reviewer criticizes the lockup's wiggle, the knife's chunkiness despite its light weight due to the Triad-Lock, the impractical low pocket clip placement causing a 1-inch protrusion, the abrasive G10 handle material shredding pockets, the lack of jimping, and the blade arriving dull. While acknowledging the ergonomic G10 handles, fast deployment, adequate steel, and utility blade shape, the reviewer concludes that the downsides outweigh the positives, suggesting several alternative EDC blades that offer better design and carry. The reviewer gives the knife a 5 out of 10 on their likeability scale.
