Perhaps you have watched the demonstrations done by the Cold Steel Knives founder Lynn C. Thompson? He does some of the coolest, clever, awesome knife demonstrations you've ever seen. Once you've watched one of his demos you'll know why his knives are very popular. Lynn founded Cold Steel Knives way back in 1980 in California and has ever since then made his line of knives legendary.

He posesses wide variety of knives and weapons and demonstrates the strength and durability of each one by making videos of them. He shows people how strong and tough his knives are by slicing through car hoods, meat, bone, hard woods and other hard to cut products.

His wide choice of knives cater to a myriad of people whether they're hunters, knife nuts or the common person. Cold Steel uses VG-1 metal, 4116 Krupp metal, 1055 carbon steel, SK-5 high carbon steel, San Mai laminated steel, and AUS 8A steel to manufacture each knife. This is exactly what makes them as strong while they are. Since they choose high quality steel the knives are much more durable and more durable than if they certainly were made with cheap steel.

He's also still among the few knife companies out there that also manufactures some of their products in the nice ole USA. That's saying a lot because most products now days are always made beyond America.

When sportsmen and hunters are skinning an elk, deer or perhaps a moose we want to the sharpest strongest knife we could find. I'd had experiences previously with cheap, dull blades and it generates quartering out an elk difficult of a lifetime.

Even if you're just gutting a fish and you're struggling to slice up it's belly since the blade is too dull this can be extremely frustrating. When you're out in the wilderness far from everything bowie knife, having a sharp blade is vitally important. If you're miles far from the nearest road and even further far from the nearest city, you can't just hop in your truck and cruise into town for another knife.

Being prepared when you leave to your hunting grounds is key. Preparation starts back at home.

Make certain next time you visit the hills or to the lake that you have a dependable blade. Trust in me nothing is worse than trying to skin or cut up a dog and you're unable to complete it.
