Truly a modern classic
I have an original Trail Master in the black coated livery. It's the most dependable knife I've owned. Everything Cold Steel said of it, is true. Period. I've had three, and two went to friends in need. I've kept my first, and will not part from it. I've had many other knives over the years, but I keep coming back to this one. For me, it's "Old Faithful." Lynn Thompson keeps making it tough to narrow down to "just" a favorite, or even a short list of them... So, in that small, elite grouping of favorite knives, my trusty Cold Steel Trail Master, "Old Faithful," resides- usually on, or near me. It's an indispensable part of my gear. Whether it's in preparing a meal, taking down small trees or limbs for a fire or shelter, the Trail Master excels where other blades strive for adequacy... Maintaining an edge is no problem with this blade. A major factor, years ago, was in its need to fulfill several functions. Survival, utility, and yes, even potentially for combat. With it's length of blade, it's nearly at the maximum for ease of use. The false edge can still function quite well in the back stroke. As an "all around knife," the Cold Steel Trail Master has few equals, and then, only by the best knife makers in the world, and that would be at a significant premium. Would I recommend this blade to family or friends? You bet! No hesitations there... What would I rate it? 5 out of 5 Stars... Simply the best knife for the money on the market today...
Thanks, Lynn and Company! Keep-up the great work, and may you and yours always be well, safe, happy, and forever, free...
