...BTW
My friend works for a company that is a dealer for SOG knives now and he let me in on a special sale. I ordered a couple of fixed blade knives.  I will be happy if they are half as good as the Cold Steel.
I hope they come in before Christmas as they are for a couple of my sons.

I carry a SOG "Auto-Clip" as my "in pocket" EDC, hasn't let me down yet.  Keeps a good sharp edge no matter what I cut.

I don’t have ether of the knives you ordered so I cant speak to those specifically. I do however own several SOG products and in general I prefer them to Cold Steel. The exception to that would be the SOG Fusion line of products, since it is SOGs budget line they’re not as nice as the rest of there products.

I think you will be happy with what you ordered.

They came in the other day.  :D They are nice, very nice. The fit and finish is great. The came in reasonably sharp. The sheaths are very well designed molded plastic.
I still have a problem with the made in Tiawan ::) and the retail price they ask for them. I am just thankfull I don't have anywhere near that in them.

bit of trivia, back of a plate sharpens high carpon steel,remember your grandparents knives etc, a leather strop makesd a razor?

The "cheap" CS Kukris come with a less than descent edge on them.





However as minrlwtr pointed out, the "un-cooked" bottom part of china-ware will work just fine ... FYI, it is ceramic after all ...

I have a fair collection of Cold Steel knives, I bought them all in the early '90's: Master Tanto, Magnum Tanto, Recon Tanto, Mini Tanto, two folders, BUT.... Back then Cold Steel was American made with steel from Japan. Now, the knives are made in China, and I have a problem with that.

I've hit a knife buying spree as of late, and I picked up the Cold Steel American Lawman.
I really like the handle of this knife. Razor sharp right out of the package, light for everyday carry, and easy, smooth action.

I like Cold Steel knives for what the are.  And lately I've been eyeing a Cold Steel Spartan, or possibly a Rajah II.  I prefer Sharp knives for everything, and BIG knives for EVERYTHING, and Cold Steel makes big, sharp knives in my price range.

My EDC folder is a Cold Steel AK47. A buddy bought it for me in the PX in Afghanistan. It stays sharp, opens fast, and is very sturdy. I think it is an excellent knife.

Recently ordered an SRK after hesitating long and hard between that and Recon Tanto that my dad suggested.
I have read lots of good and bad things about the AUS8-A SRK. What do you guys think, did I make a good or a terrible buy?

I have one of the original SRK's (The Carbon V steel, not the aus).  BEST FREAKIN knife I've ever owned.  It takes every bit of use I throw at it and holds an edge like no other.  Rock Solid, feels good in the hand and the handle is the perfect combination of hard/soft for comfort and heavy use.

I've had a few Cold Steel knives over the years and frankly in this day and age with so many good knives to choose from Cold Steel leaves me cold. Sure they don't suck, but there are some truly excellent knives out there for around the same money that are of much, much better design and quality, not to mention made in the USA.

l have the Leatherneck SF, solid full tang sharp as f**k out of the box :o and fairly priced, bought it on a promo and got two trainers with it.
Also have 3 machetes, two magnum kukri and a two handed latin, the came with 'working' edge which would be fine for hacking through brush but not to my liking, reworked all three blades and am very happy with them for their price point. :D

Anybody judging CS by their $15 machetes doesn't know what they are missing. They have some of the best $15-$30 machetes you can get, but those are NOT knives. They also have some of the best knives you can get in the $100 - $300 range. I've broken many knives, but the only thing CS I've bought that isn't alive and well today was "donated" to a TSA goon.
