![]() This IMO, is why I pay the higher price for good quality knives. BUT, the first time you try to pry open paint can, the tip will break, try to baton with them and they will dull to crap, throw it at a tree and it will snap in half or crappy handles will fall off. IMO even the knives I find at the Flea Market (made in China, Pakistan) have a decent edge and with a little work could have a razor edge, I'm speaking from experience. should be able to take more than just cutting meat, and cheese, and cardboard. may be intended for a certain task, but a "Good quality" knife like the Cold Steel promotes their knives as, basically. If your knife is only made to cut meat which are Very soft targets, or any other target that has similar consistency, then IMO its a a very light duty knife and you should stop advertising it as "indestructible" or whatever, or even "combat ready" cause its not, this is crap IMO. I completely understand your point, but I have a problem with such attitudes from any manufacturer. in the next couple of weeks if i get the time. ![]() Please give some suggestions.and keep in mind that i dont want to destroy my Magnum Tanto ii Maybe you can help out with some ideas.in your post you refer to "some abuse" and cutting stuff other than cardboard, meat, paper, plastic bottles. However, i have no experience in making good videos etc. So far i have not put any of them thru much.just light cutting stuff.but since there are not many videos / pics / experiences to be found.i have been thinking of putting the Magnum Tanto II to some tests in front of the camera, since i have managed to get 2. Saw a Master Tanto back in the mid 90s, and had wanted on since.so finally this year i picked these up. I have a couple of Magnum Tanto IIs (VG1 San Mai), also an older Master Tanto with Aus8a San Mai) and a Recon Tanto (Vg1 San Mai). It is interesting that it is hard to come by user experience accounts and videos of the CS San Mai knives being used / tested. The core VG1 steel is good and holds edge well. Soft clad 420 steel prone to scratches as it seems to me. Have not done any hard use to it only a little cutting. I know nothing about how strong San Maiii from Cold Steel is. ![]() the tire was without metal cords of course. Also I know one russian guy who did some penetration test in tire by Cold Steel Espada Large and had may small chips along the blade. In another - paper tube and as a result - big chunk of blade broken off. This guy vininul have done a lot of hard use tests on various knives.Īcording them - TriAd is the strongest lock and AUS8 from Cold Steel is one of the most chippy steel.Īlso I have seen 2 video about big chips at Espada XL edges. This video in russian, but have english subs. On this video one guy tests Recon-1 and Recon-1 old version.īoth knives have tanto blades and both lost big chunks of their tips. Unfortunately have not had my hands on Tai Pan.
