    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Sure beats talking about Cold Steel doesn't it? :) Seems like I read a story about Randall buying a knife somebody was abusing and somehow that led him to start making knives.

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Cracked Butt & Creature, Thank you for clarifying my comment to those who needed assistance. You were much more understanding in your explanations than I would have been. 45R, Please clarify; are you implying Randall Made is at the pinnacle of production knife manufacturers, or are you...

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    $320 for a Model 1. Add $45 if you want a stainless blade. Not sure what shipping is. Give them a call to see if the military priority rumor's true @ (407) 855-8075. Normal delivery time is about 5 years.

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Creature, You should have said that before. When my father died, he had a lot of stuff I went looking for, but it was all gone. Don't know for sure, but rumor has it Randall knives will put you to the front of the line if your going to war.

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    I don't know how my name got attached to that quote. I didn't make it. Counterfeiting a cold steel is like counterfeiting second rate generic jeans. It just doesn't make sense. Cold Steel's marketing hype should be classified in the same category as professional wrestling. Some...

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Creature: I'd have taken the Randall. That way I could have mounted it in a plaque with a few other items (like spent cartridge casings, unit patches/name tape) and a picture of myself "In the sandbox." Then, both you and your descendents would value it as more than just a monetary investment.

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Valkman, perhaps my comment was a bit overblown. I was referring to the "Some people have called me the best knifemaker of all time" comment in a recent Emerson catalog. (Paraphrased from memory, I misplaced the catalog so I can't quote directly.) I wouldn't own a Cold Steel again, but I...

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    I know he's even fuller of hot air than the Cold Steel guy, but Ernie E. sure has me wanting one of those CQC-7 HD's.

    What is your raw opinion on Cold Steel?

    Bought a Voyager a few years back. Serrations broke the first time I cut twine with it. Called them to give them the opportunity to re-grind the blade since I figured it was a manufacturers defect. I spoke with the customer service manager. He gave me a ration of **** about abusing it, all...

    Star model BM or Helwan 9mm Beretta copy? Need gun for my poor brother in law

    So,,,I'm slow..... :confused: Don't spend much time on this forum. Was researching whether some holsters I'm selling will fit a particular firearm and this thread came up. Sounded like the thread was started by a troll anyway. :)

    Star model BM or Helwan 9mm Beretta copy? Need gun for my poor brother in law

    If he isn't responsible enough to secure any firearm he has had in the past, don't jeopardize the kids. If it is in the house, no matter how well you think it is hidden, you can be sure that at least one of those kids will find it eventually. Before you give it to him, go out and buy a...

    Has your Gun shop ever Screwed you over

    Throughout the 90's, I used to live in Western Washington near the town made famous by Mary Kay Letourneau. There was a gun shop there that used to advertise that all guns were sold at 8% over cost. I had spent many thousands of dollars on guns, ammo and stuff there. One day, I asked them to...

    Surefire insanity

    Anybody remember what Mag lights cost 20 years ago? About twice what they do now. If you have to have one of the surefires, check out the $32 model.

    what to carry?

    Suppose when we get sold down the river with the next assault weapons ban, they will have a section for Mexican foods? Maybe a 3 challupa or 5 taco per month limit?

    I have no decent knife. What's the best all around, all purpose knife to get?

    quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anything by Cold Steel is a sure bet. As long as you don't use it. I tried one. Serrations broke off cutting the plastic band off a copy paper box the first week I had it. Called the company to see...

    I got the money, now I need a gun store..

    Just my 2 cents. Do whatever you can to support the few remaining kitchen table FFL's. Most of them were good guys and there aren't that many of them left.
