That is pretty unbelievable! I have seen the Cold Steel "Proof" videos but they don't compare to those pics at all. I can't wait to get mine.
You know thats a good point. Isn't it interesting that the first thing we do is compare our knives to the Busse line. We really should look outside to all those tatical wanta bees and start making our comparisons there.
Thanks for bring that up

The proof of no competition would be for Dan to send a copy of his test results to Cold Steel and ask them if they'd like to drop by for a little side-by-side testing. What do you think their response would be? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I don't think CS will want to play.. Mind you if they DID that video of theirs would be almost compulsory viewing! Watching a TM get completely stuffed by a DF would be sweet!

As I recall the CS folks had the chance to take the original "Busse Challenge" some years ago and they declined. It seems that the "main line" knife companies like to deal with the Busse question by either ignoring it or pretending that Busse performance claims are overblown.
Ya know, I was just looking through an older CS catalog today and read the TrailMaster page where it says:
Why buy a Trail Master? That’s simple. Because it is, without a doubt, the most knife for the money ever commercially built! In terms of sharpness, edge holding and strength, it will out perform—by a wide margin—any factory made knife we know of and 99% of all hand forged knives as well! We know we’re “going out on a limb” with that statement, but since 1987 we have challenged the industry to make a better knife and yet, to this day, we’ve had no takers.
Sounds like they need to be taken down a notch! As though they’re so bada$$ that no one will challenge them! Hurmph! Tell them you accept their challenge!
