I carried the original Outdoorsman hunting for almost 30 years, that is until the sheath wore out. I still have it with a few scratches and will never let it go. The new Outdoorsman really looks like a keeper. **Q: As of sept. 2021, what is the steel of the outdoorsman lite? i see it listed in the descrpition as 4116 and 4034, with another saying it's 4025.** A: I believe Cold Steel sez the Outdoorsman Lite is 4116. Please note - The Outdoorsman ( VG-1 Steel $ 120 ) and the Ourdoorsman Lite ( 4116 $ 40 ) are different knives - Same design, but different steel. **Q: Has anyone experienced blade chipping on the newer Taiwanese San Mai version?** A: No not yet what was you cutting and if nothing contact cold steel and try to get a replacement blade. I have never had one chip and I have several **Q: Would this be legally considered as a bowie knife? Thanks.** A: I would consider it a hunting knife as opposed to a Bowie which I have a number of. I would buy it again but a don't expect it wear out in my lifetime. I carried the original version for over 30 years bowhunting and only wore out the sheath. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Outdoorsman 6" VG-10 San Mai Razor-Sharp Straight Back Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Multi-Purpose Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - COLD STEEL Tai Pan 7.5" VG-10 San Mai Spear Point Razor-Sharp Blade 5.5" Kray-Ex Handle Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/101128245-cold-steel-outdoorsman-6](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/101128245-cold-steel-outdoorsman-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-20*
