Big Cold Steel Fixed Blades: The Knife Junkie Podcast (Episode 642)

Bob DeMarco digs into his collection and pulls out 11 of his biggest Cold Steel fixed blade knives in Episode 642 of The Knife Junkie Podcast. From the 30-year-old Trailmaster that remains his number one recommendation to the Cinquedea that he shadow boxes with, each knife gets the spotlight it deserves.

The episode kicks off with a stacked pocket check featuring the North Mountain BBMN, Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Barlow, TKell Agent 001, and APOC Survival Waning Moon Yatagan. DeMarco also reveals the Gentleman Junkie giveaway knives for November (a TKell Agent 001) and December (a Gunfighter Customs Gunfighter).

Knife Life News covers the RoseCraft Blades Cumberland River Coke Bottle Jack, the Kizer Topsail collaboration with Jonathan Styles, a limited Winkler and Dead Air Silencers battle axe, and a sobering look at knife turn-in boxes in the UK. The First Tool segment tells the story of the Randall Model #1, the handmade fighting knife that soldiers carried through World War II and Vietnam.

State of the Collection highlights include the new Jack Wolf Knives Gateway Equal End slip joint, a Fenix LD30 flashlight, and an Opinel folding vegetable peeler that DeMarco could not resist.

Then came the big Cold Steel fixed blades: Trailmaster Bowie, Laredo Bowie, Tanto XII, Jimmy Slash Competition Chopper, Wild West Bowie, Rondel Dagger, 1917 Frontier Bowie, Chieftain\'s Seax, Natchez Bowie, Chaos Kukri, and Cinquedea.
