I have one of their gladius'. It's wonderful and terrifying.
I have owned several Cold Steel. I will say IMO they are over priced. The customer service sucks.
I am quickly becoming more of a spyderco knife guy. Though I like Kershaw USA made knives.
Coded-Dude, nice knife. The Cold Steel I got is a 4in blade. What is the Browning?
I picked up the Recon 1 on amazon for ~50.00

From top to bottom: Cold Steel, Kershaw, Monarch. I must say that the pocket clip on the Cold Steel is something I need to get used to, it is on the point side. May just be a truck knife.

This - Cold Steel makes great Taiwan-made knives with AUS8 Steel, but once you get above about the $65 mark, they're well over priced. At $100+ dollars, you're in Benchmade/Spyderco/ZT territory for a good Tanto Folder with better steel, better construction, and a good hard-use lock.
Add to that Cold Steel's notorious "lifetime warranty" where they ask you for proof of purchase (don't get rid of your receipt) and/or attempt to void your warranty for any number of things and they start to get less valuable (IMO). Also, their marketing is corny (though they seem to know that and aren't taking themselves too seriously), but don't try about 75% of the things they do in their marketing videos, or you'll void your warranty.
