    Anyone have one? How do you like it? How durable is it?

    I've got one, don't use it much but feel if I ever have to it should stand up to the task at hand. Had a buddy actually cut into his knife with it. He was impressed.

    Good knives, steel depends on how old yours is. Mine is made from the old Carbon V and holds an edge very well. Newer ones are made with the AUS-8.

    my Bad...thought were were talking about the fixed blade...

    I do have it's older cousins...the Trail Lites

    Got one, beat the living hell out of it and it hasn't suffered structurally. The edge wasn't the quickest or easiest for me to keep sharp, but again I rarely use my knives for just cutting.

    I got mine last year, donuts definately not carbon steel. There were some on eBay but they were way more than I wanted to spend.

    Love the videos on the cold steel products.

    I love mine. My brother and dad have em too and they love em. Really liked that old ultra lock. Sad they switched em all to the tri-ad. I've got the Tanto combo blade.
