And how is the quality? Normally I always advise better to buy from recognized brands of the style than what I show on my blog and channel: sanrenmu, kubey, harnds and that.
What worries me is the tri-ad-lock, which is what I like the most about cold steel, along with its designs of course.
Regards!.
The overall fit & finish is at the same level as my original Talwar. The action is very smooth and the blade is centered but it has a slight vertical blade-play. All in all I’m quite happy with it.
Vertical blade-play is a shame, one of the best thing of cold steel knives is the tri-ad-lock and is shocking a “cold steel” with blade play.
I already had to learn to live with that since all of my original lock-back FRN Spydercos have that slight vertical blade movement.
CJRB Ria with AR-RPM9 blade steel, and micarta scales.
I do not have any spyderco but… that’s incredible due to the quality of that brand 
I have only two lock backs and both without vertical play, one of them is sanrenmu.
One of the best things about cold steel is its tri ad lock, if we take that away we will have its attractive designs, but I don’t know, it is not the same without the security of its locking system. But cold steel prices in Europe are brutal.
Yes, for example ~ $220 for a Recon 1 is quite steep. I’m curious whether changing of CS’s ownership will have any effect on this pricing.
Modding in the knife category is pricey!
I picked up a Spyderco ParaMilitary 2 with a Maxamet blade. The grey scales were too ugly! So I found some Putman sculpted G10 scales and Titanium hardware from ebay, Ti back-spacer and pocket clip, now it looks as sharp as it cuts but man does this stuff add up!

Today my little SRM 7228. Reviewed on my blog and youtube channel:
Review: Chinese Knives: Review SRM 7228
My Cudeman bushcraft n695 not just today every day. Who’s got time to open a knife must be a city thing.
This post just cost me $150 
Went looking for a good pic of my knife as I have never taken one of it and purchased another Cudeman.
His little bother.

Thanks
Yep. Wouldn’t I love to have a crossbow. But nooooo….!!!
Yep.
Jeorg Sprave makes them look so fun !
I had a Barnett crossbow it was kited out to the max scope, bolt rack, stronger pond bow it was a piece of art. Than I got busted with it not fun in NSW.
It ended up in that trailer the police take around to schools and shows like the Easter show showing their great work they do for the community it was on display under confiscated weapons.
By the way I also have plenty of folders just stirring the pot.

That’s a bugger. I see the mini compound bows available and wonder about some tweaking with a rifle stock.
I think the next knife that I will purchase will be the Kershaw Cannonball 2061.
It currently sells for $47-$50 on most sites, and it's a 2021 knife.
(I'll wait until the price drops.)
As usual my spyderco pm2 and jetbeam II pro
Beautiful knife. I looked far and wide for this knife with the 12C27 blade steel, but I could only find it with D2. Oh well, I can deal with it because the knife is so sweet looking.
Carried this nice little guy today.
Have a few I need to get rid of if anyone is interested. The wife has concluded that the amount of incoming knives has overcome the amount of outgoing. LOL
I won’t be asking anything close to new prices. PM for details if you want one or all. I’d trade them all for a Mecarmy PS14 in like new condition.
