[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2367202, member: 229"] 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. I carry an American Lawman and I've been considering the Code-4, but There aren't too many other knives they put out that really interest me. The best thing to happen to Cold steel is Andrew Demko and his Tri-Ad lock (that any Cold Steel fan will mention about 30 times if you start to ask about quality). If you're looking for a 4" Tanto-blade folder, The Recon-1 is a great knife for $55. For anywhere close to the $100+ range, it's insanity. Cutlery Shoppe has it regularly for $67.10. [/QUOTE]
