## Description

COLD STEEL MEDIUM LUZON TACTICAL FOLDING KNIFE: The Luzon's blade is comprised of 8Cr13MoV Stainless, and expertly hardened to 57-58 Rockwell and features sharp, strong, points with just enough belly to make it equally useful for cutting and slashing. You'll be dreaming of the Philippines once you experience Luzon's bamboo-inspired handle, featuring concave segments that offer countless comfortable grip options. Made of glass-filled nylon (GFN), the Luzon's handle is impervious to the elements, and is unlike any handle we've ever made before. Handsome and budget-friendly, and a breeze to flip open, the Luzons are a formidable choice for those going in harm's way. Offering incomparable levels of safety, they're equipped with a sturdy leaf-spring lock and a (patent-pending) secondary safety mechanism that, when engaged is extremely resistant to shock and impact. Your fingers will be safe even under the worst conditions. Available in two sizes, both feature a lanyard hole.

Review: Excellent Knife! - Great knife…Cold Steel knife made in China. Tight lockup. Very sharp. Easy flip open. Secondary lockup mechanism for safety. Oh, and low price. My second one.
Review: Luzon Medium, takes a little work - Like me start off by saying that I also own the Luzon XL, which I consider an excellent knife. It came stupid sharp out of the box, it opens easily both with the thumb tab and as a flipper. The lockup is positive and solid. The liner lock is easy to access and easy to manipulate. I found it lightweight, well balanced and a joy to use. For a "budget knife" it's a well made beastie. Now on to the Luzon Medium. At first glance it looks like Cold Steel tried to make a scaled down version of the Luzon XL. Operative word is "tried". They failed miserably. True, the edge is stupid sharp and it is a good looking knife, but that's all I can say for it. The thumb stud is next to impossible to use, and the flipper is downright painful to use. Using the liner lock to close the knife, well forget it. It's a machosists dream. Talk about painful. Added to the pain, the lockup is inconsistent. I bought it to use as a utility knife, but what use is an edc utility knife if you can't get the bloody thing open reliably? I sincerely doubt Lynn Thompson was involved in the design of this knife. Shame on you Cold Steel. *********************************************************** (edited 6/16/2024) In my original review I was very critical of how stiff the knife was in opening it. After having and using this knife for a bit I have to change my opinion. Put a few drops of oil at the pivot and work it open and closed, it will eventually loosen up and you will find this knife is your new bestest edc buddy. I absolutely LOVE this knife now and use it even in the kitchen. I highly recommend it. It even makes a good whittler!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: This knife had a problem with the tip of the blade not sitting inside the handle when it was closed and could cut bad.  Did they fix that problem ?**
A: Nope... I bought one this week 10-21. I clipped it on my pocket, walked 200', reached into my pocket, and jammed the thing into my finger, nearly to the bone. WORST DESIGN EVER. Just passing a finger tip over the point, WHILE THE BLADE IS FULLY CLOSED, will snag the tip of the blade. Totally irresponsible to market this product.

**Q: Can this knife be easily opened with a thumb stud?**
A: For me, the thumb stud is too close to the blade's pivot to provide enough leverage to deploy the blade. Also, as others have noted, when new, this knife requires a small amount of lubrication on the pivot. Once done, the blade will deploy very easily with the flipper, and with as much speed and authoritative snap as an automatic.

**Q: Is the liner lock still getting stuck? Is the blade still not centered? Are people still being cut cuz it opens in the pocket?**
A: Any folding pocket knife with an easy opening mechanism - be it disk, hole, thumb studs, or flipper - can jostle around in a pocket and open by mistake. I had a Benchmade Ascent with an opening hole that was partially opened by my handkerchief of all things, and cut myself - a bunched up portion of the handkerchief got wedged in the opening hole and when I put my hand in my pocket that moved the handkerchief which in turn moved the tip of the blade out of the handle just a little. Ever since, I carry whatever knife is in rotation in a short section of bicycle innertube, taped closed at the bottom (Gorilla Duct Tape is superb). When I pull the pocket knife out to open a package, the bicycle inner tube section just automatically stays in my pocket.

The Luzon is pretty safe. It has a VERY stiff detent, at least on the 3 or 4 I own (one user and one collector in the box of each length). In fact the detent is so stiff i can't open with thumbstud, only with flipper, and even that wears out the pad of my finger. The reason for the stiffness, which is intentional, is so the blade will really fly out and lock solid when it finally snaps off the detent.

That having been said, knives with easy opening mechanisms are ALWAYS paired with pocket clips, and the blade ALWAYS sits towards a pocket seam, never away from it. This substantially limits the amount of blade that can accidentally open. It is also the real reason pocket clips are usually overly tight. It's not so the knife won't fall out of our pocket if we lean over (or get hung upside down???). It's so the pocket knife, once clipped against a seam, won't start sliding towards the middle and thereby allow the blade to open.

Buck actually had it right with the original Folding Hunter 110 which came with a sheath (although the sheath was to dodge to avoid restrictive concealed pocket knife laws).

I recognize you have already figured all this out on your own. But I wrote this for the sake of any noobies who happen by.

Quality control - you're right, the quality control is dismal compared to a $22 Pro Lite. However, there's nothing out there which can do light kitchen duties like the Luzon - 4" is paring size, the blade isn't too thick. And the 6" version can quarter a Costco rotisserie chicken for an impromptu tailgater.

**Q: How much does the large one weigh?**
A: The medium weights 3.5 oz or 98 grams. I have held the large and I don't believe it is over 6 ozs.
