This video reviews the Cold Steel Spike knife series, focusing on their affordability and quality of construction. The reviewer highlights the effectiveness of these knives as stabbing tools, noting their excellent penetration and lightweight design. However, significant drawbacks are discussed, particularly concerning the thin and difficult-to-grasp handles, which could lead to hand slippage during a thrust. The neck carry option and its potential vulnerabilities in a defensive situation are also examined. While newer models like the Tokyo, Bowie, and Scimitar Spikes are mentioned as improvements offering greater utility, the review centers on older Spike and Tanto versions. The video suggests these knives might be a viable budget backup option for under-the-shirt carry but cautions that they are primarily stabbing implements with poorly designed handles for that specific task.
This video by Nutnfancy reviews the Cold Steel OSS fixed blade knife, highlighting its suitability as a CQB backup weapon for military personnel in urban combat scenarios in Iraq and Afghanistan. The reviewer emphasizes its reach, speed, and manageable weight for a blade of its size, along with its durable construction featuring 420 or AUS8 steel, a grippy Kraton handle, and a secure thermoplastic sheath with an optional Tek-Lok for one-handed deployment and stability. While acknowledging its limitations for general utility and mounted troops, the review strongly recommends it for those facing a high probability of deadly encounters in austere environments, particularly given its aggressive price point and performance.
