cold steel black sable

My 'damned it's to expensive to use as a pocketknive so I will leave it at home'.

A great looking knive.

Not just the looks are great but also the build quality, the polish, the way you can handle this knive (two ways to grip the knive for 'forward striking'. I still have not seen a beter looking production pocketknive.

The knive has a small 'pitfall'. It was sold as a tactical knive but it opens a bit to slow for that. Still it's a great toy: once in your hands it's hard to stop playing with it.

Featured Comment by dead_left_knife_guy on June 9, 2015 at 19:31: My guess is that the speed of opening has everything to do with the size of the blade. Though I had one Cold Steel that had to be opened & closed about 300 times to get it to open more smoothly & to keep the lock from freezing up.

You've got one of their higher end models there -- I'd hope it wouldn't have similar problems but any knife can have a mechanical problem. Unfortunately the Sable is out of production so you have to resort to your own fixes (well, maybe Cold Steel could repair it).

I remember reading in a Blade magazine "The Knife I Carry" column a few years back about a guy who was hospitalized with some serious illness or injury, that his dream knife was the Sable, & there was a photo of him in the hospital bed with his new acquisition.

Sometimes you have to remember that you only live once. YOLO! Enjoy your knife!

Comment by Joop on June 9, 2015 at 16:53: Jan Carter. It's not really slow (the way a black sable opens) but lots of knives open faster and speed is important for a tactical knive.
