This is a knife...

Dear Cold Steel, Hi my name is Tom.
I have a Cold Steel folder story.
A couple weeks ago the wife and kids were out of town, so I decided to call a friend for dinner.
After dinner we decided to shoot some billiards.
My friend recommended a small bar around the corner.
We arrived and there was a couple at the bar and a couple by the pool table.
We ordered a beer and got some quarters for the game.
The bartender quietly warned us that the man by the pool table was very territorial of his wife.
No problem.
We played a couple games and the guy worked his way into our game. After several more games the "wife" started talking dirty and the man began to get agitated and amped-up.
The man pulled a small pocket knife and started around the table towards my friend. I reached in my pocket and perfect pulled my Cold Steel AK-47 folder.
"SNAP!!" As advertised, in a split second, the blade caught on the pocket and opened till the lock snapped.
The man turned towards me and I said, "This is a knife!" He collapsed his knife, put it in his pocket and said, "Mama you need to settle down."
My buddy and I left at least $4.00 in quarters on the table.
My buddy called my cell as we drove away and said, "Thanks, Mick Dundee."
Stark reminder of why I spend my time with my family and why I always carry my Cold Steel AK-47!
Sincerely, Thank you for making reliable knives.
Tom

Why you should carry a Cold Steel Folder in your pocket

Dear cold steel,
Hi my name is Winston.
I am a firefighter/EMT in Leicester,NC.
Last Monday (05/31/10) I was traveling home from Garden City, SC from
vacation.
I was on I-20 when I witnessed a ford truck lose control in the west bound lane and flip on its side.
It was down off the interstate in the woods.
There were personal belongings from the vehicle strode every where.
It was a very serious accident.
I turned around in the median and drove down into the woods where the vehicle was. When I approached the truck I saw a very serious hazard for the people still trapped inside.
The truck was teeter-tottering back and forth on the soft, sandy ground. there
was a 26 year old female, her 22 year old brother, his 2 year old
daughter, and the brothers 22 year old girl friend...all were still
trapped inside the vehicle.
Ttraveling with me was a friend who is also a firefighter in Leicester. I had him run back to my truck and get my "bug-out bag".
Inside I keep medical supplies, trauma dressings, bp cuff, stethoscope...ECT.
These people had to get out quick!!
This truck had a back glass that was one piece.
It was the safest place for me to stand and try to rescue these people.
The only thing I had with me was my Cold Steel Spartan ( I don’t go anywhere without it).
I pulled it out of my pocket and with it was able to pry at the frame of the back glass enough to brake it loose.
Once it was off I was able to pull all occupants out of the vehicle.
The driver was seriously injured and was airlifted to a trauma center, the brother was also injured (he is a marine that just returned from Iraq) and was listed in critical condition last time I checked.
The other two just had some scratches.
It took fire rescue almost 15 minutes to get on scene.
These 15 minutes would have proven to be the death of the driver… and possibly the brother in the passenger seat.
I just wanted to thank you for producing a quality product that held up to the task..
It made me feel much better about my purchase and will never buy any other product than Cold Steel...

Thank you for what you do!

Sincerely,
Winston

Cold Steel vs Wild Boars

Folks didn't have scales to weigh it. Had to use winches, ramps and 4 wheel drive to get it out. 350+ lbs hog caught by 5 dogs(3 bays & 2 catch), killed by 2 old guys with Cold Steel knives. 6 inch Ti-Lite and the Boar Hunter.

These are without a doubt the best knives that money can buy.

When u are hunting wild hogs one never knows if the hog that the dogs caught in the "crawl in" thicket is 150 or 350 pounds. frequently too close for firearms and cant fire anyway with dogs locked in life or death battle.

Why You Should Carry Inferno

Nearing the end of my lunch break I was leaving my house to return to work.
My cat, being an indoor cat, attempted to escape.
As I ran to the front yard to catch him, dropping my purse to the ground while picking him up where I ran into my sister-n-law on her way in. We were talking for a brief moment when my neighbor’s German Shepard came out of nowhere running towards me.
I threw the cat to my sister-n-law who threw him to the front door.

The dog viciously latched onto my left upper thigh and began thrashing his head back and forth.
My sister-n-law began to scream. Due to her high pitched screaming the dog then jumped at her, clenching his powerful jaws down on her face. I quickly reached into my purse, grabbing my house keys that held my Cold Steel Keyring Inferno Pepper Spray unit.

As I turned around I threw my foot up, kicking the hindquarter of the dog.
He let go of my sister-n-laws face as his body swung towards me and began to lunge at me.
I held the pepper spray tight in my hands and pressing firmly on the trigger, releasing a blast of pepper spray in the dogs face.
Immediately the dog dropped to the ground and vigorously rubbed his face all over the front yard whimpering.

After a visit to the Emergency Room I came home with four staples in my leg, my sister-n-law has two stitches at the bottom of her cheek and one at her eyebrow.
As we arrived at the front door we realized that Animal Control was confiscating the dog.
It appears that this was the fourth attack on humans in less than a year.
Even though I feel a little remorse towards the dog for both the pain it must have felt with the pepper spray in the face and the fact that he is going to be euthanized, I feel very lucky that I was smart enough to carry a Cold Steel Keyring Inferno Pepper Spray unit in my purse that may very well have save our lives.
