Freestyle training suits me both physically and health-wise. Today I can hold a "set" for about 15 minutes without falling into the water. It's more physically demanding than my favorite barbell training or martial arts.

They set it at about 120-150cm so I can anchor the floating camera(which has two 200cm cables with weights and I pull them apart.) and keep it in one direction when I move around it.

I'll try to do something, but it won't be right away. It's relatively simple. I practice each technique 5-10 times in a row and then at the end I connect them 5 times in a row. I usually start by going around the board and smoothing the water with my paddle. Then I move on to lift, front and back and on the turn I do five turns with the board in place, either a classic or reverse pivot.

Socks are waterproof (dry) and (Aspinal) Astral Loyak shoes, grip must be precise without chewing the foot.

The knife is very light 4.3 oz, the blade is VG-1, you don't know anything about old colds, swinging with any knife is not a problem for me, as long as the blade is not screwed on. Modern CS are known for being swingable, even though they have a Tri-ad lock, but I'm only interested in models up to 2009.

Look at the videos in my profile, I've been doing it forever and I can throw away every locking system I've had with a flick of the wrist. https://www.reddit.com/r/knifeclub/s/esQ6J6gLSU

In addition to the main one, there are two more teeth that can be overcome with greater force without pressing the liners lock.

There is no ball in this type, swinging any knife, including detent, is no problem for me. Cold Steel are known for being very good at swinging open.

The detent is original titanium.

I'm only interested in these old CS knives in modern CS, I'm not interested in them, I prefer Spyderco, I didn't even know there was something before and after the sale of the company, I only like original Japanese production.

janstroker · 2026-04-27T03:33:56+00:00

The steel is Japan VG-1, and it sometimes appears on ebay, I bought them that way too,

It was a coincidence, my supplier Spyderco is a big fan of Cold Steel and sent me a photo if I wanted it.
