Cold steel grivory

Anyone have thoughts/feelings/experience with these?

Cold Steel is a hot button issue around these parts. I think the general consensus would be their product is ok, but overpriced. They are very slimy with the way they run their business, and don't actually manufacture anything but the videos promoting their products.

I have a cold steel Recon 1 that I love. It keeps a really good edge. I did not know they were shady though.

So once agin, I'll ask, Does anyone have any experience with the grivory blades that they sell? All I am asking for is some personal input on these.

It's the same stuff Becker uses on many of their knife handles. Cheaper than G-10, micarta, Respirene-C, and other handle materials. But the price of the knife will reflect that. Not my favorite material in the world, but it works.

From my experience, the blades are kind of flimsy though, so I would go with a rigid design such as a tanto if you plan on stabbing something with it. The Karambit is kind of a joke.

Its money better spent somewhere else. Its a last ditch shiv. If you feel you can't live without one then at least get the tanto. Its a slight bit thicker and you might get your money out of it.

How much does it run, cash wise?

 

[jdfast]

Depending on the style 10-15$

Wait... That's what they are Calling that plastic? I thought it was an actual entire product.... Never mind.

This topic comes down to: it's your money. Spend it with who you want to support. If you are so inclined, research cold steal and then decide if you want to send them any of your hard earned dollars.

Ps- cold steal, not an incorrect word placement.

I like their tomahawks but the plastic knives are a little stupid.

the nonmetallics have their place.... but as a cutting tool for tasks, not so much.
