Unless you're going to put some serious work in to the handles of the AK-47 or American Lawman series, I would NOT suggest them for an urban EDC. The G10 is very heavily checkered and will rip your pockets to shreds.

bad picture of 3 CS knives:

The Kudu is my favourite; I see it like a mora knife: cheap, good size blade.

Good slicer, unusual (Wow factor here), value for money, solid lock.

I like both the older and newer versions of the Recon-1. Can't say which I like better really, the newer model feels better in the hand but I prefer the lock on the older version. The Rajah II is a neat piece. I only really got it because it was so huge. It's like a folding short-sword.......

........got it more for the novelty. A well built piece, don't get me wrong, but not something I would use or carry.

The American Lawman is a nice piece for the money. The build on it is real good. But as much as I like some of Cold Steel folders they all lack one thing I require for pocket carry......Tip-Down carry. That said, their newer knives like the American Lawman and the new Recon-1's I probably wouldn't carry even if they had Tip-Down capability simply because of exactly what jekostas mentioned......the checkering on their G-10 is very coarse. Feels alright in the hand, but messing around with my Lawman I did pocket it once to see how it would ride and I had a hell of a time getting it back out. Their pocketclips have good stoutness so between that and the course sand-paper type surface of their G-10 the knife hung up in my pocket and I had to really rip it out. Just a few times of doing that and I would likely have worn a hole in the pocket in short order.

Code 4 = BEAST

Big but not cumbersome
Elegant but not fancy
Advanced material but not expensive
Simple but not crude
Tough but not overbuilt

Favorite brand for folding knives, no doubt. My collection of 'em:

Impressive

Kampfer · **Reply #12 on:** March 11, 2016, 10:03:30 PM

Modded the Code 4 a little to fit my preference:
New thumb stud, I found the Cold Steel thumb studs are uncomfortable to operate in conjunction with Tri-Ad lock.
New pocket clip for tip down carry, 99% of knives nowadays are tip up carry only, which don't work well with my small hands.

Kampfer · **Reply #13 on:** March 13, 2016, 08:41:28 PM

I have two incoming Talwars, a 4" PE and a 5.5" SE. But only keep one of them.
Let's see.

Carrying the Ak47 lately...

And trying to learn how to sharpen those darns CS serrations, still no perfect results...

Not much love for CS here, a 5 years old thread only has 15 replys.

CS owners are busy using their knives, rather than posting pictures of them .

Why would anyone need such a big blade.

Had to do it. I have had my fair share of blade size conversations on this forum and i'm no stranger to the larger knives.

I love both the larger and smaller blades alike. Carry those pocket swords if it makes you happy.

Cold Steel knives knives have never really done much for me. For right or for wrong I've always though of them as a step above gas station knives. No offense meant to any owners or fans; just one mans opinion and from someone who openly admits to not have handled a lot of them. Maybe it's the antics of the owner but I've just steered clear.

These Code 4's look interesting though. Maybe I need to give them another look and pick one up to carry for a while.

ThePeacent · **Reply #27 on:** April 04, 2016, 11:00:50 PM

I think their current line offers a great value, bringing CTS-XHP steel to the game at a reasonable price increase from their old AUS8 models.

Most are also thinner, lighter and more carry friendly than their previous versions.

I'd say give them a try!
