Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Small enough to fit on your hand like a glove, but big enough for a full-hand grip. Adjustable pliers mean you can pivot open the knife or flip it open if necessary. Can be adjusted by sanding the pivot point on the locking bar.

This serrated blade shreds through cardboard. In youtube tests, the exceptionally thin edge and also thin blade portion above edge make for exceptional cardboard slicing longevity.

Came really sharp out of the box, but not honed. Hollow grind is razor sharp. Handy robust and sharp as busted glass.

Choil & these are nice features on this knife. My only real complaint is the pocket clip. This is knife is a beast to have.

Seems to sharpen and strop very well. The aus8 blades are easy to clean and sharpen, even the serrated edges. I run them down both sides of my ceramic sticks, it works!

Cons

What a worthless knife/blade.

Quality

Nevertheless, the quality is excellent and it's a well made knife.

Overall quality is great as expected from cold steel.

Gsm recently bought them out so i wanted to get one last one into my collection in case the quality changed.

If cold steel quality stays after the buyout, this won't be the last knife of theirs i own.

Price

A good blade for a decent price.

At this price, i can use it for a dirty job if necessary, and i'm not out big money if it gets lost.

I own several knives, some higher end, and while those are fun, this knife, at this cost is the one that rides in pocket most often.

Better steel would be nice, but the cost wouldn’t work then.

Packaging/appearance

For packaging of all kinds the smaller is enough, but the large handle on the full-size is welcome for extended work sessions.

Razor sharp with solid lock up right out of the box.

Problem was, the blade would break or chip on the zipties, which was a bit dangerous.

Competitiveness

I’ve bought some relatively expensive knives, finch, civivi, tops, esee etc, and this little knife has me hooked!

Cuts easier than a traditional utility blade.

Light in the picture is a thrunite t1.

I got this knife on sale for around $22, which is a good deal, but i probably wouldn't pay $30 for aus8 steel when there are so... Read More
