Cold Steel 29AC Voyage Jar, Large, AUS10A, Clip Point, Straight Blade

ミリタリームービーの例え話で申し訳ありません。 先ずは、良い話から、大型ホールデングナイフの割りには、作りが頑丈で、重さを感じずバランス良く、グリッピーも良い。セイバーグラインドは、併用性が高く野遊びにピッタリですね。 次に悪い話、鋼材はそこそこなのに、刃付けが、宜しく無い！セカンダリーが雑。ストロッピングでは、直せ無いレベルで、刃が丸まると言った負の連鎖は、見え見えです。レシート位は、スパスパ切れますが、アスペンの割り箸フェザーを試しましたが、ゴリゴリした重い切れ味で、毛足の長いカールが出来ませんね。直ぐ丸まる感じです。箱出しでは仕方ないですが、早くも研ぎ信号ですね。同じコールドスチールの、フィンウルフの方が、箱出しでも、切れ味は優秀です。ある程度の毛足の長い物は出来ます。以上が、二つの話でした。 余談ですが、ボイジャーは、大きく分けて２種類の異なるブレードが有ります。私は、併用性を踏まえて、クリップポイントでは無くドロップポイントを選択しましが、この商品は、コアなファンが求めるクリップポイントですね。どちらも、正確な刃さえ出せば非常に使えるナイフと思います。私は、ガーバーのゲーターと同等と思います。コンセプトは、ゲーターの方が上ですが、頑丈さ併用性を考えたら、ボイジャーに軍配が上がるのではないでしょうか。又、有っても無くとも良い頼り無いベルトクリップが付いていますが、別に邪魔にならないので、そのままで良いと思います。正直惜しいの一言ですが、ファクトリーナイフなので仕方ない処。後は暇を見て自分で直します。

I have many knives in my collection. I like knives, I collect them because they come in handy for many different purposes. Over the years, I have been looking for that perfect knife to carry around all the time. I looked at my collection and realized that I had a lot of EDC type knives, but I wanted some hard use, heavy duty folders with a strong lock-up and that be carried without too much heft to it. Enter Cold Steel knives... I purchased the Cold Steel Voyager with clip point blade. First thing I noticed was confidence in the hand. It felt robust with solid ergonomics. The handle is well-shaped and my hand just fit really well on it. The lock is simply amazing as there is no blade play at all, and I was really impressed with the fit and finish of this knife. This knife is razor sharp and just bespeaks of a great quality. I will say that extended use of this knife could result in some discomfort as the handle has rather aggressive scales to provide a great grip. This one won't slip. Also, it could be tough on your pocket as the pocket clip is tight. But, these things are fine with me. Could you EDC this knife? Yeah, because it's really not heavy, but it's probably a little bit large for that kind of thing, but you could do it if you wanted to. I love this knife, and it's one of my favorite blades that I own, and for 50 bucks, you cannot beat the value on this knife...period! I highly recommend this knife as a great hard-use, heavy duty knife that one could use camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and as a survival folding knife. It's just a great knife and every knife guy should have one.

Tolles Messer für Outdoor Tätigkeiten bis zum EDC, da es sehr leicht und sehr robust gebaut ist. Mir gefallen die Griffschalen, die ein Malteser Kreuz Muster haben und sehr griffig sind. Weniger gefällt mir der Clip. Ich bevorzuge deep carry. Für Rechtshänder gibt es im Zubehör Ersatz aber für mich als Linkshänder muss ich noch schauen. Das Messer kann ich aber trotzdem empfehlen. Der Stahl ich extrem scharf.

This line will be my recommendation to first time knife guys from now on. This is the standard in this price range imo. It was stiff and a little grindy in the action and I opened it and closed it for a day and it all smoothed out and is drop shut after release now. Solid knife, the Spartan is my favorite EDC of all time though, so this one's not getting a lot of carry currently. If it had the pocket catch open I probably would edc it over the Spartan though, just for size weight and possible legalities.

Call steel makes awesome knives built like tanks.I would buy these over and over.They're amazing and tough and stay sharp and great for a friend.As a Present

Some would have you believe that you have to spend a few hundred dollars to get a high quality folding knife. This is absolutely not true, but you do have to look in the right place. If you are looking at Cold Steel, you can end your search. I have long said that IMO, CS offers the best production-grade knifes in the industry, and I still believe that today. I have used their products for years and have never once had a problem. For EDC, I prefer a blade no longer than 3.5". To me, this keeps the overall length short enough to be comfortable in my pocket. This Voyager has a 4" blade, but I purchased it to use at work, where I will keep it in a nylon pouch on my belt. The most important aspect of a folding knife is the locking mechanism. Having the blade of a folding knife close prematurely can sure mess up one's day. The Voyager uses Cold Steel's Tri-Ad system, which I feel is absolutely the strongest, and therefore safest, available today. When you open the blade, you can hear and feel it snap into an incredibly secure and locked position. It is not going to close until you make it happen. That is real peace of mind, and one that I trust without hesitation. The 4" stone washed blade is razor sharp and about as close to perfect in every respect as one could hope for. The lines, angles, and geometry are a thing of beauty. The opening thumb studs are comfortable and easy to manipulate. The blade is made from AUS10A, which is a quality Japanese steel. Although it's not the "new and improved" steel of the month that knife dweebs fantasize over, it is an effective working steel that offers good edge holding ability, strength, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, this is a user friendly steel to sharpen. I can put a razor's edge on this steel in no time at all - and I do not consider myself to be skilled in this process. With heavy use or abuse, the cutting edges of knives made from the higher-end super steels tend to crack and chip. Under the same conditions, the edges of AUS10A steel tend to roll instead, and it's a lot easier and faster to restore an edge roll than to repair a chip or crack. I can also say that I have never had a issue of any kind with AUS10A. This is because I use knives wisely. They are designed to cut, not to be used as screwdrivers or pry bars. The polymer handle has two internal metal liners that aid in stability, and the texture of the handle's exterior has a raised Maltese Cross style of configuration that definitely provides a secure grip. The notch for the index finger is nicely defined as well. The curved handle gives it a bit of an unusual appearance, but it feels absolutely great in the hand. The pocket clip has a lot of tension, which might not make it the easiest to manipulate, but I would rather the tension be too much than too little. In my case the pocket clip does not matter because I'll be carrying it in a belt pouch. To me, value is the sum of an item's practicality, quality and cost, and the CS Voyager is every bit as nice as one costing a LOT more. It's an amazing value, and one that I would gladly purchase again. God bless and stay safe out there!
