Cold Steel Bowie Blade Bushman Durable Resistant 7" SK-5 High Carbon Fixed Blade Outdoor Survival Hunting Knife, 5.25" Hollow Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath with Ferrocerium Fire Steel

Super sharp. Good quality. Great functionality. Adequate sheath. Great value for the money. Comes with ferro (fire-steel) rod.

A true survival tool. A must have in your BOB (bug out bag). These won't replace a traditional knife, but this one is light weight, sturdy, inexpensive, and it is a knife that can be made into a spear. I don't usually care for plastic knife sheaths but this one is well designed, sturdy, and safe. Again: low cost, well made, versatile.

A knife so nice I bought it thrice! But real talk, I have it 4 stars because the last two I bought had small casting craters and grinder knicks on the handle. Still a great buy for the money though.

I’ve owned the original bushman since they only had the one design with the crappy sheath. Over 15yrs ago I think? Finally got the Bowie style. Even though it’s China made (instead of the Taiwan made), I think it’s just as good. It came pretty sharp and easily took a razors edge with little effort and not changing the grind angle. The sheath is much better but clearly budget minded. It’s Mora ish in design, but thinner material than you’re expecting. It should last a good while but I don’t buy the bush man knife for the sheath.

I’m amazed how cheap and how strong and how light this knife is I really really like it the blade is super sharp it’s very durable it’s probably gonna be my go to Knife and I’m probably gonna buy another one

Nice tool, comes plenty sharp for an easy grab tool. I keep a shaped shovel handle in the truck in case I'd need that extra reach.

This knife is truly amazing! I'm so glad I pulled the trigger. Super solid construction, classic bowie lines, uber tough steel (watch the testing vids, unreal), nice solid sheath, paper slicing sharp out of the box, Plus a little ferro rod, for $20!?!? Yesss! This knife fulfills all the ridiculous knife fantasies you didn't even know you had lol. Cold Steel backs it's badass look and cool minimal design with truly tough, durable construction. You can throw it, chop wood with it, use it in the kitchen, store stuff in the handle, and also turn it into a freaking spear!! Maybe do a little wild boar hunting next weekend, huh? ;) Very fun to throw, both as a knife and a spear. So cool.. I also really like how it is designed to be modified. It allows the owner to customize it to their liking, and encourages you to make it your own. I'm going to carve a curved wooden knob for the end to extend the reach, and to have a heel for chopping brush better. Over time I'll probably whittle up 3 or 4 different handle versions that I can swap out, depending on what I want it for that day. **(That said- If you don't feel like doing any mods and just want a blade ready to go, you might not like this knife as much. The handle, as is, is a little slick, and the end is a little rough/edgy for stabbing. Hand can slide forward if not careful.) Conclusion- This is one of the best, most solid, durable, functional and straight up FUN (and large!) all round use knives I've ever gotten for $20 bucks. Totally worth it. I'm very pleased with my purchase, to say the least.

Good for mass-producing cheap disposable javelins for your post apocolypse militia, emphasis on disposable; its not strong steel. My little brother threw it and it hit a tiny gravel sized rock in the dirt and caused the tip to bend sideways. When i tried to straighten it back with a pair of pliers it snapped off instead. Id highly reccomend to buy better spear/javelin heads unless youre more concerned with price. It worked while it lasted but still, for as a survival tool you REALLY want to look for durability cause your life will literally depend on it, but the fact that it also serves as a knife and firestarter means id reccomend adding it to your pack, id just get a dedicated spearhead too.

Habe eine gute Klinge zwecks Strauchzuschnitts bzw. Strauchkürzung für den Garten gesucht. Nebenbei sollte es ein möglichst geringes Gewicht haben und auch noch eine gute Stabiltät besitzen. Als ich das Messer auspackte machte das selbe einen weniger robusten Eindruck. Ein rotes Schildchen mit der Aufschrift : Made in China : sowie eine sehr kostgünstig verarbeitete Messerscheide verhießen nichts Gutes. Also erst Mal ein Stück Besenstiel auf ca. 30 cm abgesägt (nicht mit dem Messer) und mit dem Messer selbst auf den Durchmesser der hinteren Handgrifföffnung geschnitzt was auch wirklich einfach ging ( die Klinge ist wirklich scharf, also Vorsicht !). Schnitzen ist also wirklich kein Problem. Den zugeschnittenen Stab also in den Handgriff stecken und mit einer Schraube für Holz befestigen. Ein Loch dafür ist am Handgriff schon vorhanden. Die somit geschaffene Griffverlängerung dient in erster Linie zur Sicherheit wegen dem größeren Abstand zur wirklich scharfen Klinge. Außerdem lassen sich auch weitere entfernte Äste bearbeiten. Ist also auch gut als Macheten-Ersatz mit viel geringeren Eigengewicht nutzbar. Ein wirklich gutes Gartenwerkzeug. Nach stundenlanger Nutzung ( Hälfte des ungewollten Buschwerks gestutzt) halten sich die Gebrauchsspuren verblüffend gering. Die vorherigen Befürchtungen waren also unberechtigt. Die Messerscheide ist zwar auch zweckmäßig und platzsparend ( hat sogar einen Anzünder zum Feuermachen , noch nicht ausprobiert ) aber ich hätte lieber die etwas größere Codura-Scheide gehabt. Stattdessen gabs halt die in der Beschreibung stehende Secure-Ex Scheide. Das ich das überlesen hatte ist aber dann wohl mein Fehler. Deswegen gibts auch von mir die volle Sternzahl. Wirklich gutes Gartengerät wenn im Garten die grüne Hölle (wucherndes Buschwerk) tobt. Nicht ganz billig, aber gutes Werkzeug hat halt seinen Preis. Klare Kaufempfehlung.

Topkwaliteit mes

PROS: For $20 bucks on sale and even at $30, the price is very good. This feels like a $100 knife Heavy enough for durability, light enough for comfortability. Versatile knife thay can be used for anything on top of being able to use it as spear due to the hollow handle. Good for recreational spear throwing or as a defensive tool in the woods against bears and mountain lions. VERY SHARP from the box. Be careful. Many people have cut themselves or lost fingers based on amazon and youtube comments. It’s REALLY SHARP. Very high quality. Thin metal compared to the original 90’s version but still good quality. Watch youtube videos about its durability test. Many people have these knife for decades and it’s still functioning. High quality kydex sheath. Fierro rod is included. Even the box looks good, makes it perfect as a gift or collector’s item. CONS: The kydex sheath, while good durable quality, has a case of too much retention. The retention on the sheath is so tight that it takes a bit of effort to remove the knife from it, which is how people get cut . I think it should have just came with a cheap faux leather or nylon sheath, or same sheath but more forgiving retention. CONCLUSION: You will not find a better price under $100 that will give you more versatility and quality than this. Highly recommend it. This is a classic staple knife that should be included along the names of a buck 119/120. If a known brand released this for $150, people would still rush to buy it. Cold steel you should send me something to review 😏

Inexpensive, super durable and a decent sheath. I wrap the handle with hockey tape or paracord to enhance the grip and it is good to go. A good knife to have in a survival kit, and one that you can beat on without too much worry. The handle and blade are all one piece so there is nothing to break. You could also add some survival items to the hollow handle if you wanted.

Eine"Ode"für dieses Messer . Super umgesetzt für den wahren Outdoor Fan.Minimalistiches Messer! Messer,Axt und Speer,was möchte der Survivalist noch mehr.Platz für Angelhaken und ein Feuer ,damit bist du gewappnet für viele Abenteuer. Das Messer ist scharf und spitz,da sehen andere Messer manchmal aus wie ein Witz. Um den Griff ein Stück vom Fahrradschlauch macht es noch angenehmer im Gebrauch. Klasse Messer,da braucht man nicht mehr und die anderen Messer liegen weiter unbenutzt in der Dunkelheit einher.
