Make good and sure you never buy the Cold Steel pocket bushman. It's been nothing more than pure failure since day one, and I'm not exaggerating. Check these vids out.

I just noticed a couple dudes talking about the knife and I figured I add to fill 'em in with what I've learned so far.
i only liked the new recon one cause it reminds me of my scimitar which i carry more than anything and see as cold steel discontinued the scimitar i guess i'll settle for the next best thing. did ya'll see the rajah III?
Hey Matt I have the Spartan and I would recommend it but if you have the means to get both do it. I am thinking about getting one of the Rajah series to add to my collection.
The only thing I can say after owning both the raja III and the spartan( I actually traded my Raja III for a Spartan) I would say if you want something that doesn't scare people when you pull it out get the Raja III but if your going to be some major cutting and hacking and maybe killing then go with the spartan cause it is a BIG knife very BIG.
I think the Leatherneck will be popular with young jar heads fresh out of boot. As for me I will take the original. I think large feald knives should be carbon steel.
I cant say that i am overly happy with the new CS line up, demko makes such awesome originals, why use other peoples designs. I know, making something good better, but still. I wish they would keep the aluminum with micarta/g10 (depending on examiner) on espada, full g10 seems cheaper way out to charge same price, just my humble opinion
I love Cold Steel knifes and also agree with you Chris but in my opinion G10 looks maybe like a cheaper design but also it looks more tactical and I like my big knifes tactical :-)
Hi Keijo yes a agree with you since I'm working in sales as Account Manager I can conform that this is the similar model for example wit Cisco Products you have the GPL - Global List Price and them the distributors give the retail partners discount from 31-50% depends on product and ongoing promotion. Ther for do not take the MSRP price as the actual price. Thank you Keijo that you reminded us.
While watching the movie My Soul To Take a saw the black Talon folder and after that i stumbled upon this picture anyone knows this version of the Black Talon ?
Or could be a knock off, there is a rotating stock of mi kata black talon and talwar folders and titanium ti-lites for sale on ebay. They are always posted by different zero feedback sellers (you lose your money) always on short time frame (so even if reported to ebay the auction is finished before they can take action) and listed no reserve so unsuspecting people jump on them quickly! Buyer beware!!
Hi guys I finally got one on ebay and I don’t know what to say look pretty good even the box looks like it is authentic the price was around 50 USD considering the recon one series with G10 handles this model has the Zytel handle scales. This will be a display peace for me I’m to afraid to actually use it the tip looks very thing do I don’t want to break it. It is razor sharp so the serrations are done correct not like on the other cheap made China replicas. One more thing this knife has a chisel grind on the edge enjoy some pictures. If you want one of this let me know I will post the ebay listing.
Well Rick.The Bushman knife is SK-5 and that is insanely tough steel.The kukri you are talking about is really thick but Cold Steel knives come pretty sharp and I think the grind will make for easy chopping/hacking cuts.I do not own one personally.I have the cheap $20 version,which is the only machete i know that throws well.
I like that little Mini Tuff there Patrik. I have a question though, that handle looks pretty smooth, how is the grip on it. That has been the only thing keeping me from liking it enough to order it since i cant find one anywhere to actually hold in hand.
The handle on Tuff is in my opition nice not so grippy but also not so smoth. As for grip texturing I preffer in FRN the volcano pattern that is on the the new Spyderco delica or dragonfly 2. As far as FRN goes still prefer G10 anytime.
Here's just a little heads-up letting you all know that I have one of the very few remaining new in box Rajah I's for sale in the sales section of the IKnifeCollector forums! Thank you all, kindly, and I hope you are having a nice sharp weekend!
