Frenzy II 5.5" S35VN Razor-Sharp Blade 6.75" G-10 Handle Everyday Carry Tactical Folding Knife with Tri-Ad Locking Mechanism

I own a lot of big self defense knives. But this one might be my favorite one. I own the XL and L aspada, that are both great self defense knives, and the big Mayhem, they are all very nice. Down to knives, like the recon 1, sypderco yojumbo, and the list goes on. But this knife is light, fits in pocket, where I forget it’s there. A 5.5 Inch blade, S35vn steel, that is highly rated, that curves down just a little bit at the end. So it’s still good for stabbing, and slicing. Cold steel shows a video, where a guy cuts threw, a one inch rope with one swipe. So what more could you ask for in a self defense knife, length, strength, and good fit in the pocket. Plus I can flick it open with my wrists or with the thumb knob, and wrist. I highly recommend buying this knife.

This knife is awesome. It is 1/2" thick, 6 3/4" long closed and weighs 5.6 ounces. That is lighter than most cell phones and I've had normal folding knives that weighed more. The Tri-Ad lock is rock solid. It is not a bush knife but in a pinch the American S35VN steel and Tri-Ad lock would make do. You can find reviews of people abusing it. It came with a very sharp point and a decently sharp edge. Tested on cardboard and water bottles you barely feel any resistance while stabbing. I think this knife is close to the perfect urban EDC where my most likely worst case scenario is self defense and not being stuck in the woods trying to survive. Some people do not see the use of a self defense knife but I'm not one of them. In Texas I can carry a 5 1/2" long blade unrestricted anywhere I am unable to carry my gun. Some tips: 1.Oil it soon as you get it (good practice for all steel tools) 2.Leave it open at a 90 degree angle every night to loosen up the Tri-Ad lock release, you will have a sore thumb playing with it for the first few days. 3.You can loosen the pivot bearing with a T9 torx bit, just a hair not even 1/4 turn let me be able to flick it open with my wrist. 4.SnaggleTooth tactical LLC sells a thumb stud mod that gives it an emerson wave like function, allowing you to open the blade while removing it from your pocket. It works flawlessly. The only real CONS I have for this knife for my intended purpose is that closing it one handed is not really safe or recommended and that you might get strange looks busting it out for normal utility uses like opening a package or cutting your sandwich at the deli =p

I was leary of getting one of the so called XL folding knives for two simple reasons, will it fit in my pocket and will it deploy easily? After playing around with my new Frenzy for a couple hours I can answer yes to both those questions. For such a large folding knife it is lightweight and fast and damned if it isn't a beautiful knife. I purchase my knives for specific tasks and a few that I assign multiple tasks to, such as my SRK. The Frenzy is for self defense in my world and after playing around with it I can say it will fill that roll admirably. This is the first folder that I've owned that is for self defense, as I don't trust folding knives in that roll, but after researching the CS tri ad lock, I'm convinced that it will perform well for self defense. You can do other tasks with the knife, but once you have it in your hand you can decide what role it was made for. With the blade being made from S35VN this is a great knife and a fun knife, especially when you pull it out for your friends to see for the first time. It's worth the money and you won't be disappointed.

Cold Steel has always offered fantastic folding blades! The Frenzy ii is no exception. The thing is huge, 5.5" blade and 12" unfolded. It's very well balanced. Even being that this blade is huge, it is thin, it is incredibly comfortable and lightweight in the pocket. It's hard to remember you're carrying it. The grip is ergonomic and very easy to control, even with smaller hands like mine. The cherry on top is: You're getting a high quality S35VN blade for $100 and it comes with a razor sharp edge from factory! Thanks for another excellent addition to my collection, Cold Steel!

Great, solidly built 6-inch blade with very tight Tri-Ad lock. Blade is beautiful CPM-S35VN steel but not too thick and doesn't have the hefty feel of a Cold Steel SR1. 6 inches provide plenty of reach as needed. Handle is blue/black in color but pretty low-profile in general. This G-10 handle is grippy but the clip + handle combo are pretty smooth (and, unlike G-10 handle + stiff pocket clip on many other Cold Steel folders, this probably will not shred the top of your pocket). The overall length of this folder when fully open is pretty long (longer than 12 inches). I ordered 3 units of the Frenzy II (Blue/Black) from Amazon US (Amazon proper, not some 3rd-party Marketplace seller). 2 units out of the 3 sent to me were in crisp brand-new boxes with factory seal intact. However, 1 unit arrived in a wrinkled open box with Cold Steel factory seal cut open, blade had some scratches and it looked as though they shipped me an open-box unit even though I ordered New. This is the third time this has happened to me when ordering knives from Amazon US (Amazon proper, not some 3rd-party Marketplace seller). First with a Cold Steel Black Talon II Serrated (I kept it, as the blade was mostly functional), second with a Cold Steel Luzon 6-inch (I returned it because it arrived broken in a wrinkled box, again with factory seal cut open, worse yet liner lock wouldn't even engage to lock the blade firmly in place), and third time with this Cold Steel Frenzy II. Third time is a charm. Is the Frenzy II worth the money? Most definitely, you get Cold Steel and Andrew Demko great design and exceptionally strong Tri-Ad lock. Just be aware of the caveat.

Ein wirklich sehr schönes und elegantes Messer. Sehr gute Verarbeitung.

Messer ist scharf, maschinell hergestellt und made in Taiwan. Qualität ist nicht zu vergleichen mit den made in USA Messern von früher. Ansonsten tut es was es soll, aber das leistet ein günstiges filetiermesser auch😉
