Again with the name calling? How old are you? Or are you just trying to make me angry?
This is the Cold Steel subforum; fans of Cold Steel hang out here. When was the last time that you contributed anything positive about Cold Steel to this or any other thread? You remind me of the bosses I've had who believe in "management by negation." They never have any useful ideas of their own, but they're sure adept at criticizing the ideas of others who are working to get the job done.

I've contributed plenty of positive posts about Cold Steel on this forum. Let's see, most recently, I posted about my favorite Cold Steel machete, my positive thoughts on the Pro-Lite, and a full list of reasons why the Broken Skull receives such praise, along with my disappointment at not being able to grab a blue one when BladeHQ had them on the cheap. Oh, and over on the main forum, in the thread about "which company do you own the most products from", most people were listing Spyderco or Kershaw/ZT, but I listed Cold Steel, cause I have a freakin boatload of their stuff. Folders, fixed blades, machetes, tomahawks, Indian warclubs, a sword, a mace, the koga fist weapon, couple of walking sticks, several of their all polymer stabbing weapons, the Spetsnaz shovel...seriously dude, I got enough Cold Steel to outfit a small nation.
Maybe you should try reading more, and spend less time claiming EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN is a Cold Steel copy? Cold Steel fans like the product. Cold Steel fanboys give Cold Steel credit for doing stuff they didn't do. Which is...exactly what you've been doing in this thread. If you want to post actual copies and pictures of random crap falsely branded as Cold Steel, fine. But when you start making absurd claims about how every modern stiletto style knife is a Cold Steel copy, or copies of OTHER designs that Cold Steel copied as well are Cold Steel ripoffs, that crosses the line from "fan" to "fanboy". Hell, even in those pics you linked...the first one doesn't actually look like any specific Cold Steel design, though it does use the "American tanto" style blade that Cold Steel did popularize, so maybe that counts? And the second pic is pretty much just a total by the numbers dagger, a design that has been around for literally hundreds of years. It doesn't look like any specific Cold Steel design, at least, no moreso than any of the hundreds of other daggers out there do. In other words, you're trying TOO hard. Limit yourself to posting things that are ACTUAL copies, like that Spartan or OSS you linked, or to the fake stuff that is falsely labelled as Cold Steel, and it would be a lot easier to take you seriously.
