Cold Steel eats CRKT for breakfast lunch and dinner. I love Cold Steel haters who can’t handle truth and can’t handle fact their cheapest knives destroyed ZT, Kershaw, and Spyderco in abuse and lock tests. I don’t even want to get into what the 4 Max can handle. You rule Lynn Thompson and Cold Steel. Fuck the haters.

I own a few CRKT knives, and like them a lot…I have the CRKT Deviation–*(cool Scifi pocket knife. .Would be right at home in JJ Abrams Star Trek movie.)*, CRKT M22-G1 0-*(cool pocket paramilitary style combat/utility knife. Reliable, auto-LAWKS. A good EDC , work knife.)* Large frame Hissatsu folder-*(like it!)* A CRKT Shenanigan Z folder *( a strudy Large frame zytel Work /EDC folder)* a CRKT Heiho *(cool baby Hissatsu. )* And a Fix bladed version of the satin finish CRKT Hissatsu *(Collectors item—but close by in a night stand…)* I also own a Cold Steel 6 inch Fixed bladed Outdoorsman *(a decent budget hunter/fighter. Also a collectors item, but occupies another close by bureau draw…)* Like like them both…Though I don’t own any Cold Steel Folders….As long as you not abusing them … There great! Probably just a frivolous counter marketing ploy….

[…] are not on board with the fact that the knives come from places like Taiwan and China. Finally, Cold Steel’s recent lawsuit against CRKT for making unfounded marketing claims riled up people even […]

Claims of strongest and sharpest knives, and common sense aside. That claim though “virtual fixed blade” ?, test proved ColdSteel pwned them and busted that claim.

In reply to DJG. Excellent points. Although you have to wonder whether things would be better if companies could only make claims that are 100% fact and whether this case helps push that agenda along. Then again, that leads to gray areas. For example, at Knife Depot, we sometimes say we're the most badass knife store. Is that true? We certainly believe so, but how do you quantify something like that anyway. At this point, consumers just have to be wary and learn to separate fact from fiction, as you said.

Seriously, this lawsuit is Cold Steel crying over marketing over-claims that every company in every industry makes about their products – CRKT is no exception. There are few companies in their prospective industries that stand head and shoulders above their competition. Is Hertz that much better than Avis, Apple better than Microsoft, Chevy vs. Dodge, etc. Claims allowed to be made publicly by many manufactures and service-related organizations are just ridiculous. As a consumer, you need to separate fact from fiction., however, it shouldn’t be hard for us to figure out that a folder is not a fixed blade – no matter what CRKT says.

In reply to Tim. Exactly! Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house.

In reply to Mike. All great points. I wouldn't necessarily mind it so much if Cold Steel was only making the truest of claims about its knives but when it also uses the same marketing tactics (World's Sharpest Knives), it kind of devalues their case.
