Why no love for Cold Steel?

Maybe we should do a dedicated-thread for knives, and handguns. Since a lot of forum members are into both.

I just don’t get tired looking at that 610.

There is this thread from The Break Room you might want to check out...

Thanks, Ray! I've seen these unfluted Lew Horton specimens going for the $1800 dollars.

Smith has reintroduced the 610 like 6 months ago...still prefer the older models, like yours

I'm liking the 610 as an augment to the 1911 in 10mm too. May add a Ruger GP-100 Match Champion in 10mm to the battery.

Oh most definitely - the 10mm round is great in the revolver or auto.

One of those few rounds great in either. A 357 magnum in an auto is just to long a grip for most people but fantastic in a revolver.

Here's another view of the 610 from the opposite-side Ray, with the 'The Mighty 4 Max'. This was before Smith introduced that embarassing 'Hillary Hole'. They make for a great heavy-duty duo, don't you think?

The 'big snubbie' has a charm all-its-own, Ray! A number of people wanted me to sell-it, but I declined. I believe, I paid around $700 USD when I purchased-it.

Rapidray · **Reply #909 on:** January 28, 2020, 03:29:05 AM

Sounds about right...and the 3inch barrels are way more desirable

eTripper · **Reply #910 on:** January 29, 2020, 12:39:48 AM

The Cold Steel 4 Max Scout will probably be my next purchase. Pretty-much the same dimensions as the expensive G10-version. The "Scout" has grivory slabs, and is made of AUS-10 steel. Perhaps can best described, as the 'working-man's" 4 Max. For an MSRP of $120 dollars, hard to go wrong!

Size comparison between a 4 Max, and a SERE:

That Al Mar is such an eye catcher

The 'green micarta' scales really set this folder-off. Really a solid-build. Al Mar (a former Special Operator) worked with Col. James 'Nick' Rowe, on this folder's design. Rowe was one of the only men to successfully escape the Viet Cong. Unfortunately, he was later killed in the Philippines by Islamic terrorists; if I remember correctly.

New Peoples Army - Communist - were the ones who attacked and killed him. Still don’t understand how he was killed in an armored vehicle.
