Dude, you’re four to five years away from becoming a huge Cold Steel fan. Resistance is futile.
“The simple fact…” just a bit overused here, Nick. Nyquil overdose?
“Mind the gap”
A thigh man can always spot another thigh man
Nick recommending a Coldsteel blade as a gem? Next you know he be carrying around the Espada XL everyday.
You made me buy the original custom and now I have to buy one of these. Great review. Great sense of humor.
Why are all the cool locks on 3.5 inch blades? They should make some under 3
Feels big in the pocket and even bigger in the hand. Insert Birdshot IV pun here.
I took the clip off and sanded just under where the clip grabs your pants. It not hurting my jeans. That’s really the only part that matters. Great review.
Thanks for the video, Nick! Good as usual!
I hope that locking feature isn’t patented. That looks super safe especially when closing with your fingers totally out of the travel path. That’s a big plus to wusses like me.
Did Nick just call a Cold Steel a gem?! I fainted!
Is the AD-10 the same but bigger? It seems like I’ve seen some in back lock, and some in the scorpion. What’s the deal there? Am I misremembering?
just as good and maybe better with the phosphor bronze washers eh?
I got mine when they first came out; and after some use and excessively gratuitous fidgeting it actually is drop shut smooth
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the thumb stud being in the way of the cutting edge…
Does the tang of the blade protrude into the grip area? Having it flush would be good attention to detail but it looks like it protrudes and I can’t think of any knife that does that.
No offense, but that knife looks like s**t.
Nick . Can you do best gem by company either historically or recently? Like cold steels greatest gem is so and so. Like Sogs greatest gem ever was so and so. This year Buck’s gem is so and so.
Who would down vote this video?
Yknow Nick, I don’t think there is an item that exists where you couldn’t find something you didn’t like about it.
Most of your complaints are legit.
Tho you are definitely nitpicky at times. That’s a good thing tho, a lot of people get stuck on the good. To the point where they just don’t see any bad. Or they willfully ignore it. The review loses credibility because of that…
Im sure there are a few perfect items, that even you would have trouble finding flaws with. Still, I have faith you could, lol.
Again CS makes the mistake of over-aggressive G10( especially under the clip). When will they learn?
When you started coughing I fully expected you to transform into “modern art nick”
I just got an SR1 from Cold Steel. Damn is the stock thick. I do like it though it’s a tank.
I thought for sure he would mention the thumb studs being in the slicing path.
i pretty much knew this was the knife i was gonna buy after the first demko review. well there goes another 150 bucks
Nick always reversing the Rats

The simple fact is… it is called a leitmotif, and it will look great over a picture of a gem on the next round of shirts. Keep up the great work, these reviews are a bright shiny distraction during the doldrum week for a lot of folks.
The spyderco Q has a lock that is somewhat similar in concept
I dislike the g10 color almost as much as the texturing…
3:22 That’s what she said! eheheheheh…
I’ll just wait for them to pump out a full GFN handle, aluminum lock bar, 4116 clip point version for $79.99
If they ever release the Parata, I will be curious to see how the “new” Stop-Lock will work. I’ve seen toggle locks before. I hope Spyderco does it well… Sage 6?
Great review as always ! Thank you
A good rendition of the original at less than 1/3 the cost. That knife is going to sell real well. Thanks Nick
After the 10th “The simple fact is” only half way through the vid I couldn’t take it anymore.
Great review but when you said it’s 90% as good as the custom you should have said it’s aluminum lock an steel liners compared to titanium lock and liners on the custom.
Cold steel to me is tremendous value.
What can take more abuse? AD15 or Hinderer Full Track
