Cold Steel Lawman: HD for the PD
What’s the best cop blade? There are many good options to choose from as noted in my BEST Tactical Folder Playlist. But first decide on which which criteria are more important for your POU: ultimate strength and defensive reach (and resultant damage to the bad guy) or more portability and higher utility use. I recommend siding with the latter if you, like most cops, are toting many pounds of gear on your Batman equipment belt. Most officers will use their knives for daily cutting chores and very seldom for emergency defensive use. Therefore a lighter, more compact blade usually pays dividends in daily carriage by lightening your loadout. This blade may or may not do that depending of what you classify as “heavy.” The Cold Steel American Lawman is a strong, medium sized tactical folder the strikes a balance between these “Mobility versus Firepower” www.youtube.com considerations. Its blade is widely notched at the base to accommodate the Tri-Ad Locking mechanism pin, which is unusual and initially disconcerting (cosmetically only). The highly textured G10 scales provide excellent traction in hand. The pocket clip is adequate but rides over the rough G10 that promises to abrade your carry pocket. The 3.5 inch AUS8 drop point blade offers plenty of utility and some defensive capabilities as well. Its hollow grinding produces a razor sharp edge out of the box. Some downsides in the design that prevent a higher Nutnfancy rating however: slower deployment than many competitors …

I know this is about the Lawman blade, but that black Benchmade caught my eye. Benchmade make beautiful knives, but god are they expensive.
I’m thinking about getting either a cold steel lawman or a ak 47 what one do you think I should get
lol he said duty
@TravisLikesCoolStuff Yes…. I agree 100% thank you.
@0bsidianos
If you like bigger blades… I love Spyderco Police 3
Many Spyderco knives have the option put the clip on the correct side for lefties. All spyderco knives open easy for lefties since they all use the famous opening hole.
Most anyone will recommend Spyderco as a good company.
I´m a lefty and I bought the Cold Steel american lawman, anyone got some recommendations?
Hey great video nutnfancy. My thoughts on a police duty blade is that if you have to draw your knife as a police officer as a last ditch option I would think that the bad guy will be right on top of you. Therefore I would want a smaller (around 3in.) light weight fixed blade in a molded plastic or kydex friction fit sheath that is easily accessible. thanks for the vids.
can someone tell me if the Pre-2010 models have steel liners, but the current 2010 American Lawman does not have steel liners …. ??
I love the fact that you are always talking about the weight factor in your reviews. I use to be able to carry a house in the field but today I am constantly condensing stuff to the bare minimum. When planning for when the SHTF you have to decide on an extra 5 rounds and some toilet paper or one really heavy looking knife that you’ll never use and ultimately will slow you down which could mean permanently.
Great video, I have one of these. it is many uses due to the drop point blade. A person could even field dress a animal with a american lawman. maybe even a moose, thats how much cutting power this knife has. So far I used it for cutting frozen solid mullet into cut bait. and other regular everyday jobs. I did cut alot of frozen last year. this knife cuts through frozen solid Mullet like butter. great knife, I really like it -AJ
do you have the one with metal liners or the “new” one that is all g-10? (you might say in the video, but i don’t have 25 mins. to spare right now. Thanks!)
@TravisLikesCoolStuff all part of the game bro …
@pjicleanair420 the 2010 model, way better than the old one. love it
If you want to see the review, skip to 12:35. Please thumb this up so others can see it.
By the way, nice review and knife!
@ChristyTV is that a serious question?
recon 1 tanto for me
@ChristyTV #1 reason is for cutting seatbelts to get unconscious people out of wrecked cars.
The SOG Flash II is awesome. It was my first purchased good knife and I still carry it just as much as my Spyderco Tenacious.
@ChristyTV
Why do people need knives?
Cutting stuff, secondary protection.
Why would a cop need a knife?
That’s what I look about cold steel, all about performance. And I laughed hard at the ad with the bat vs. the tactical folder
nutnfancy man you hardlytalked about the lawman
Is the Lawman good for surviving?
focus nutnfancy! focus on the video topic instead of getting so side tracked! lol
I have the ZT 400st and love it. Strong knife and locks up solid. I like the serrations on this blade vs. the ones Cold Steel does. I also have a CS recon 1 that I carry sometimes. I just added the Kershaw Skyline as an EDC blade so now I usually have two pocket knives and my swiss army knife as well as all my other duty gear.
@psnetgamer fag
@jread5959 You pegged it!
Comment of the Year!
This is so trippy it can tackle me through the interwebs
@localphenomena I think its stupid having fights on this thing..but your totally right..what has this got to do with family guy..this music is art..family guy i feel is an accident haha
@999lukey I have to give you a thumbs up for not flaming me. Yeah, it’s really not my cup of tea at all. I just got a bit frustrated when I heard a reference to that…show involving this song.
@localphenomena Woah..well i have to respect your opinion..at least you didnt say somthing like ..its gay ..so your thoughts are wisely noted..but in fairness..the majority of telivision shows these days are ..Brain dead to say the least..and what the hey..i get a serious laugh out of family guy..i dont watch it for educational purposes..so there for i dont speculate or criticise it..i just watch it to get a laugh..maybe it just not some peoples cups of tea tho?
@999lukey I’ll probably get flamed for this, but whatever. It’s the most intellectually devoid show in recent memory. It has little to no plot, and the “characters” are just a vessel used for random and inane flashbacks/references. Seth Macfarlane is a talentless hack.
@localphenomena Why?
2:24 I can hear MSN. Why?
I don’t know why but I love creepy music like this… favorited
…I hate family guy.
@RIPmitchhedbergRIP XD
Excellent use of the Lydian mode. Tritones up and down this bitch!
Three legends come together in order to give you a trippy tune. Them Crooked Vultures- Interlude with Ludes. They say this is the song playing in Hell’s Loby, if so at least the red guy has good taste.
I hope you’ll catch something baby, ’cause I just threw myself at you
@jread5959 i always thought this song was what i’d be hearing as i passed by the pearly gates and realized where i was going. the waiting room of hell.
@jread5959 agreed
this song is beautiful and eery all at once. its a true stalkers love song
I wouldnt be surprised if this ends up on Dexter, it would fit perfectly
@RIPmitchhedbergRIP you son of a bitch. cannot be unheard.
Who needs drugs when you can get high on TCV…
@Kalixter I think the same, but with jread5959 comment
On the good ship…lolligag…
Its I’m Designer on acid
@TheKushNetwork YESSS!! And its not just the chorus….. the verses too. “I’ve always been behind you” = “my generation’s for sale”
I’ve always said that this song is “I’m Designer” on Acid. lol I play a cover of the two spliced together.
