Question: This knife is 249.99 on cold steels website ?  Has anyone verified the authenticity of this knife ?
Document: Simple and clean and functional. All my cutting tests have been perfect and the edge has not lost one whit of sharpness.There has been some talk on here on the blade not being stainless. This does not bother me, as many of the best knives are made of high carbon and not stainless. As a matter of fact, if anyone out there has tried to cold blue one of these since they are high carbon, let me know your results.
In the interest of full disclosure, I bought my Trailmaster back in 2004 when Cold Steel was still using Carbon V steel for its bowies, and manufacturing in the US. However, I've since purchased an SK-5 Laredo Bowie and found the difference in the two steels to be mostly negligible.
I purchased my trailmaster as a self xmas present last year. It is an awesome knife for anyone looking for a wilderness survival knife. Chops like a machette yet not so heavy as to remove it as a defense tool. I thought it was going to be great in my research. Reality was much much better.
You'd think anyone buying a blade like this would have the knife knowledge not to do such a ridiculous thing, but I've seen more than one good bowie knife wasted in this fashion. Lastly, and quite importantly, the blade has a full tang. I know the traditionalists will say that a "full tang" is one that is visible all the way down the edges of the handle, however, the TM's tang, though encapsulated by kraton, extends all the way to the end of the hilt.
This probably is the best fixed blade knife I have owned or come in contact with. It is balanced well, the weight is good, and the blade was sharpened to an extremeny fine edge within just a short time. After chopping and cutting tree limbs and branches for several days, the blade still held a very fine edge. I recommend this knife to anyone who wants a survival knife that will keep a sharp edge and desires a large knife that isn't too heavy to bog you down.
Otherwise, I'm sure this knife will be around, as it should be, for generations to come. And for that matter, a 5 year warranty isn't long enough; come on Cold Steel, for all the proof that the products are put through, it should be for Lifetime, IMO.
Exceptionally poor quality for the purchase price. If this knife were priced at about fifty dollars, it would be reasonable to purchase, and then spend the extra $$$ to have it properly re-handled, making it a decent knife. As produced by cold steel, the handle assembly is of shockingly poor quality -- a hollow, open-ended rubber sleeve, glued onto the unprotected knife tang.
440A was the cheapest knife steel we were aware of before purchasing our son's new Trail Master. Beware of Cold Steel Trail Masters made anywhere besides America and Japan. After a cooling off period we've started buying Cold Steel knives again but now use more discretion when reviewing the choice of retailers. We don't recommend ROS LLC to anybody.
I will put up a fight first, and believe me, when faced with that, and I have to pull out one of my many knives, that murderer or robber does not have a prayer in Heaven. Once i get my knife, it is all over for the bad guy, no matter what weapon he has! And right now, my new Cold Steel Trail Master is going to be my side-toting bestus friend and bodyguard! Of course, I hope it Never comes to that.
Cold Steel's Trail Master knife is a perfect combination of classic Bowie and modern field and combat knife. The balance is superb and the craftsmanship is outstanding. The blade is razor sharp, long and thick enough for field duties such as cutting rope or kindling, and impressive to look upon. The Kraton handle is well shaped and durable. A worthy edition to any collection.
