We toss them in a drawer or a storage bin with all of the other great deal knives and pull them out every once in a while to marvel at how cool and inexpensive they were before not touching them again for eight months.

This seems like a really good deal. Maybe I'm missing something. Ordered it anyway. Thanks cke-gt.
Cold Steel is a marketing company; they don't make any knives. Also, their hype game is good, but sometimes they get high on their own supply. Their market is to sell forgettable knives with inexpensive steel to people who don't really use them for more than opening an Amazon package, cutting a piece of string, etc.

Not BAD, but take their marketing with a salt lick.

Yeah I bought them too, but honestly something is off with the listing, and there's no reviews for this bundle and it isn't available in the cold steel Amazon store. You can only find it with this mystery link. Hopefully they're legit.

Wow, 3V, S35VN, XHP, 20CV, and magnacut are inexpensive steels. They expanded beyond the 400 series/san mai/carbon v schtick years and years ago to include powder metallurgy in a slew of folders and fixed.

Thank you for saving me $52.
Me too. I really have no need but it was tempting since I have never seen them cheaper than $30. Did get a freebie Recon from a BladeHQ order in the past though.

As someone who has been interested in a 6-7" knife for several years, but not badly enough to spend $37+, this math only maths if you really want a serrated Kobun.

The serrated is a no go for me. If it was plain edge I'd def bite.
