That was bad batoning technique. I froze it at the 16 second mark, and I could see the knife tang break off to the left side because he had hit the blade tip on the side, not the top. Too much lateral stress did it.
The other thing you have to consider is how many times before had he, or somebody else, used that same knife to do stuff like that. Because if you stress any metal enough times, it will eventually fail due to "metal fatigue". Probably, microscopic fractures form over time, and it causes a sudden catastrophic breakage.
I do not believe it was an actual Cold Steel. I have never seen anyone claiming that these knives break at all, let alone this easily. I don't imagine even the 4034 knives will fail this badly. It looks to me like they are trashing a cheap knock off for clicks.
It had a black painted guard. I have seen that on the knockoffs, but not on the real Trail Master knives.

So 8cr13 is the upgrade !
I think a Cpm 3v full tang with bolt on G10 scales would be great. Think of it as a Trail master evolved to its next logical step.
