The Cold Steel Italian Long Sword is one of the long and mega size blade that you want to try once in a lifetime, because it is so different from most ordinary swords you might've handled. The blade comes razor sharp, with everything packed together in a nice and complete package. You don't really need any maintenance for the blade too, only clean and oil is needed, The blade don't get loosen up or anything after moderate use, which I expect it can be also okay for some abuse... maybe I will try that in the future and let you know!

Cold Steel Royal Kukri Machete Review and Demo

The 2013 new product of Cold Steel - Royal Kukri Machete. This blade comes very razor-sharp and very sturdy. I would say that this is one of the best machete ever because of the shape and the sharpness right out of the box. No modifications are needed to make it better! Here is a video review I did with the blade.  Trust me, this one is the one you wanna pick up when you go out the greens next time!

Cold Steel Nightshade Series FGX True Power

Ever wonder how the Cold Steel Nightshade Series is really like? Just some fiberglass reinforced plastic named Grivory, does that sounds promising to you as a real deal impact or even self-defense weapon? The word "plastic" might seems a bit fragile, but that is not the case with Cold Steel.

I got my Koga SD1 and SD2 before, and they are tougher than what I expected. But then having a sharp TIP on these "blades" made with the same materials, will that work?  I really doubt their true power to withstand the abuse. Therefore, I got mine to test it out!

Just like all my other Cold Steel blades review, there goes the soft (paper), medium (cardboard) and hard (metal, pop cans or soup cans) test. Just to see if the blades can really withstand the abuse! Wow!  I am more than impressed!

After my demonstration on the Cold Steel Nightshade Series, now you know that these are not just for fun. They are really meant for use and can really cause some serious damage if used for stabbing!  Except for using them to cut boxes, paper and tape... they can actually be use for something more "serious"!  Well, a lot of people wonder how these "edges" does in cutting instead of stabbing. Here you go, I am the first guy that shows you how they do in cutting!

Cold Steel Recon 1 Large, Mini and Micro Comparison

Cold Steel Recon 1 is one of my favorite blade from Cold Steel, and now they made this a "series"! In 2013, we have the Cold Steel Recon 1 Mini, Micro and the XL coming up soon!  This is so exciting!  The Cold Steel Recon 1 mini is just like the mini Lawman or mini AK-47, basically a sized down blade and everything is the same as the big guy. But the micro is like a key chain knife, it's meant to be hung with your keys!  Nice and cute blade! 

The Cold Steel Recon 1 series are all made with the same blade material - Japanese Stainless Steel, AUS-8A, but featuring different length. If where you live say you can only carry a 3.5 or 3 inch blade, then the normal (large) Recon 1 is not for you because it's 4 inch!  So you can now buy the mini and still enjoy a Recon1 in hand LEGALLY!  

Honestly, the Mini and the large feels so alike in hand that you won't tell much difference except the large is abit longer. But for me? I will choose the large! haha!

Enjoy a review and comparison video of the Cold Steel Recon 1 series!

Cold Steel Medival Sword Trainer - Waster!

Cold Steel Medival Sword Trainer, another super strong and heavy weight polypropylene training sword made by Cold Steel. This beast is heavy, sturdy and extremely ergonomic. The guard is just an attachment with a rubber ring to secure it in place. You can take it off if you like and it will feels like a Chinese Han Jian in hand!  Honestly, the sword feels very "Chinese" without the guard on!  The pommel is glued and non-removable. Everything else is just perfect, you can't ask for more!

One note to all non-Cold Steel fans... the difference in Cold Steel's trainers weapons and other brand is that the finish and seams is so different. Cold Steel offer you great quality materials with seamless finish. The other crap will give you a LINE on the edges and feels like a toy. So you pay for what you get there!  It's a good deal to go for Cold Steel!

Enjoy my full review on the Cold Steel Medival Sword Trainer!

Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken, Wakizashi Breaking Things!

Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken and Wakizashi - all trainers weapon made with extra durable and tough polypropylene. They all came in black, with just the blade and a "guard" plus a rubber ring attachment to secure the guard. Therefore, you can put the guard on if you want, or leave if off if needed.  The handle is textured for a better grip and you can really feel like holding a real bokken in hand, it's so cool!

The difference between the Cold Steel Bokken and Cold Steel O Bokken is that the O Bokken is longer, bigger and thicker. The O there means big or large, therefore the size is larger! 

You might wonder how they do in actual sparring or practice use. Here I will show you what they are capable of doing by breaking some rebreakable boards, tiles and so on. This is fun!

One last thing you should know about the Cold Steel Bokken, O Bokken and Wakizashi is that they are not blade proof and so any sharp edge can cut through them with ease. You can use a knife to slice through it in a combat situation.  These are only impact resistant, meaning if you bang them on people, it won't break, but if you cut them with a knife, it will break!  Someone tried to smack them on a metal bar's edge and it cuts into the blade too. Just keep in mind, play with them according to what they are intended for!
