New Cold Steel Videos - they don't make them like they used to

The classic videos from Lynn bothered some haters, but look what they are doing now.

That was painful to watch...

Kinda reminds me of interviews of standup comics how they talk about being pretty bad for a while until they find their thing. This is very early in the comic's experience.

"I'll rise up and do it to you"? WTF is that?

They need someone new to approve the script.

And, that was pretty much my response to the whole thing.

Horrible video. Disrespectful to folks that might need/want a cane, and stupid punch line. Really terrible following the old videos.

 

[PsychoSword]

I'll have to remember that sword cane as part of my costume for the next pimp of the year competition. Maybe get it studded with some rhinestones.

 

[Blue Sky]

That was not good.

Their whole video ad campaign, and many of their new product line, reflects total ignorance, or maybe even cynical distain, for what Cold Steel used to mean to fans of the brand .

It's only to replace, or fill in some blanks from the old Cold Steel lineup, that I bother with this new bunch of asshats at all .

pimp of the year

Nothing wrong with the sword cane . It's actually fairly plain and low key looking . Fairly good weapon for the price and a usable cane for support .

The only pimps here are GSM , and they're not very good ones .

WOW I used to think the "proof" videos were a bit off track but this is insulting at best.

Nice to have a usable sword blade instead of just a giant ice-pick in a sword cane.
There's also an identical-looking walking stick that is lighter, in case you visit weapons-free zones and don't want to confuse your friends and neighbors;
get everyone used to the inert one but carry the sword version when you wish.

instead of just a giant ice-pick

I entirely agree !

Ice pick type weapons are useful for assassins , but are terrible for fighting / SD .

What an awful video. It's like a 13 year old wrote it during lunch break.

I seen a lot of stupid videos in my life. But this one tops the cake. EMBARRASSMENT
I have one of these cane swords from Cold steel when it was cold steel I mean yeah. It's a good weapon but this ain't going to end well. I got a dog that could make it better advertisement than that.

Why did you have to bring that up and make me sad. I don't think Thompson's videos will ever fade away. Feel as you may I hope he's doing well and I hope he's enjoying his retirement, he worked for it and nobody gave him nothing, but I sure do miss him

Sure, we got some commentary from Lynn too, but his products did most of the “talking.” IMO, GSM should have embraced the campy charm of OG Cold Steel and cranked it up to 11.

I just don't know, I just don't understand how and why. I have seen some members here that are way more qualified and of a higher caliber than any representative I had seen from GSM so far.

wow all bad there. I'm laughing not cause it was funny but because it was that awful.

it's 3cr13 steel isn't it......not impressed. 420j2 basically. 420hc would least hold an edge better without giving up a lot of toughness......
