Survival Gear Video Reviews Ten Cold Steel Edged and Blunt Weapons

November 8, 2026

A video from the Survival Gear channel reviews ten Cold Steel weapons it says were listed for sale on Amazon, from historical-style swords to a mace and a self-defense cane, with a focus on materials, dimensions and the maker's own cutting and impact tests.

Key points

  • Edged weapons: The lineup includes a one-edge Viking sword, a Chinese war sword and a Warcraft Tanto knife, each described with its steel type, blade length and overall dimensions.
  • Blunt-force tools: The Brooklyn Smasher club, Viking battle axe, Gothic mace and warhammer are shown in Cold Steel's testing breaking cinder blocks, a ballistic helmet and pig carcasses, according to the video.
  • Disguised tools: The Irish Blackthorn walking stick and the Cable Whip Cane are presented as self-defense tools that rely on concealment and surprise.
  • Materials: The video cites steels including 1055, 1060, SK5 and CPM 3V, handle woods such as American hickory and ash, and weights and lengths for nearly every item.
  • Price: The Warcraft Tanto is noted as retailing for around $400, which the video attributes to its materials and construction.

Quick take

Survival Gear frames the lineup as a gear rundown, judging each item by its steel, weight and Cold Steel's own destructive testing.
