There is a little bit of Rick Barrett and Fred Chen behind every Cold Steel Warrior. While Rick's limited run these were based on were well regarded, the production swords from CS immediately drew negative remarks but in a very subjective manner. This, back when Hanwei already had a large foothold on the market with many models.
Regarding sharpness, I can understand a shallow out of the box impression and honestly no different when folk are reminded many producers don't ship scary sharp blades. The Tinker line from Hanwei and many others as an example. A lot of production swords might be regarded as dismally less than "perfect".
My near two decade old Hanwei PK came with a very good edge and made scary sharp with a few strokes of a ceramic rod.
If I was buying a sword for myself, a less than scary edge isn't something I would return but everyone's comfort level is different. I have considered a CS Warrior over the years but honestly more drawn to the Chisa. There was an old Barrett on the market a decade or so ago that looked oh, so sweet.
Cheers GC

That's not a thing you can guarantee unless you've also edited videos for a living. I have literally shoveled manure and done bulk editing, and seriously couldn't say which I'd rather not do again. (For one thing, you can trust a good shovel...) On a more general note, actual studies on the subject consistently show that the main factor in how wearing and stressful any given job is ISN'T the type of work but job security, financial stability and workplace atmosphere. ( L'enfer, c'est les autres!) We all have a natural tendency to think things we know nothing about are simpler and easier than things we do know. Note that, as always, "natural" has no particular correlation with "good" or "healthy"... PS. Apologies for the derail! No I agree! But what if the YouTuber isn’t the one editing their own videos? Would it be fair to say it is easier then?

I stream sometimes but never make the time for YouTube videos as you have to make nice thumbnails to and it just takes to long for me.

Wasn't this a review of a sword and not a commentary on a third party video maven?
