Sorry, but I don't understand your post. You asked some questions, I thought I answered them in a straightforward manner. No offense taken. I do not generally engage in disparaging other companies with which I compete, so to speak, so I really prefer not comment on your reference to the Cold Steel videos. You can find substantial discussion of these promotional pieces on the various knife specific sites, such as www.BladeForums.com and others. To best of my knowledge, the Axis Lock has no better in strength and ambidextrous ease of use.
