Cold Steel Knives In Combat thread. Despite the knife's prevalence in the Gulf War, not many firsthand accounts of its use have shown up.
A few points of clarification about some things that have been mentioned in this thread:
Cold Steel never used ATS-34 on the Voyagers. In fact, I don't believe Cold Steel ever used ATS-34 on any of its knives. If I remember correctly, there was a limited run of ATS-55 Triple Actions released back when the company was testing that steel, but that's the only ATS steel that I recall. The Japanese Voyagers were AUS-8A and VG-1.
The first (and at least some of the second) batch of Recon Scouts was supplied to Marine Force Recon (and probably other) units for use in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. They were sterile because of the clandestine, behind-the-lines work that Force Recon was conducting. I'm pretty sure that the knife's name was due to the unit connection.
Cold Steel didn't make the Executive Ice Scraper. That was manufactured by a company called Choate Tool Corporation (now Choate Machine & Tool) out of Arkansas.
The Peace Keepers also were released in San Mai III blades, and versions were manufactured in Taiwan. I've seen some marked "CHINA," though I'm uncertain whether those are legitimate.
Does that Outdoorsman have a san mai lamination line? The sheath is definitely a red flag that the knife could be fake.
Unfortunately, I think it might be a counterfeit. Besides the sheath, the labeling and pommel look wrong. I agree that a San Mai lamination line definitely would be the defining feature.
