This video features a review and demonstration of the Cold Steel Trailmaster survival knife, specifically the Carbon V version. The reviewer, Nutnfancy, highlights its thick blade, good swing, shock-absorbing handle, wedge grind, and acceptable weight. The video showcases the knife's ability to chop down a 25-foot dead Quaking Aspen tree at an altitude of approximately 9,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains. The reviewer expresses high praise for the knife, rating it 10 out of 10 on their likeability scale and suggests the current SK5 Trailmaster should perform equally well.
This video reviews the discontinued Cold Steel Peacekeeper II, a compact fixed-blade knife praised for its lightweight design, effectiveness, and affordability (around $30). The reviewer highlights its versatility for defensive and offensive use, noting its Kraton grip, sheath with clip, and leaf dagger blade. Different steel types are discussed, including 420 Sub Zero quench and Carbon V, with a mention of the last produced versions in 4116 Krupp stainless steel. Potential modifications like a 20º grind for improved slashing and thrusting are mentioned, along with a drawback of the short handle. It's recommended as a good budget option for a compact fixed blade for self-defense.
