Lynn Thompson (Cold Steel) is a tool.
At the Oregon Knife show Wayne Goddard was making a big deal out of one of his hand forged knives being able to cut a free hanging 1" hemp rope. Warning everyone about how awesome it was.
Joe Gerber (of Gerber knives) went to their display and while I watched pulled a plain jane kitchen knife from a box the same length as Goddards knife and made the same cut through the magical 1" hemp rope.
I spent 14 years as a full time Custom Knifemaker (and Voting member of the Knifemakers Guild) Watching guys like Lynn Thompson "borrow" designs and ideas from Custom makers and up marketing them with mass produced crap bragging on how great they were.
The stuff he does with the big nasty sword thing could be done with a Christmas tree knife or in many cases a sharp $10.00 swap meet machete.
Aahh thought you was dead bro........I used to be a Cold Steel retailer and some of you know I'm a medieval weapons maker as a hobby. Some Cold Steel blades are pretty good for the money, and some are unbalanced and at best, awkward, like the Chinese war sword in the video
