Cold Steel Bushman 7" Fixed Blade Bowie Knife - SK-5 High Carbon Steel, Black Polymer Handle$15.51
Availability: In Stock
The Cold Steel Bushman 7" fixed blade knife is a serious survival and bushcraft tool built for hunters, campers, and backcountry users who demand reliability over hype. Unlike hollow-handle knives held together by welds or pins, the Bushman's blade and handle are forged from a single piece of SK-5 high carbon steel—no joints, no weak points where failure happens. That unified construction has been proven to handle over two tons of pressure at the blade-to-handle transition, a real-world toughness claim that matters when you're hours from help.
The 7-inch blade comes razor-sharp from the factory, ground thin and hand-honed to a working edge that handles skinning, wood processing, food prep, and general camp chores without complaint. The curved blade geometry is particularly good for detail work and draw cuts—exactly what you want in a fixed blade when you're processing game or fine-tuning kindling. Heat-treated to RC54 hardness, it holds that edge through serious use while remaining true high-carbon steel (not stainless), which means it'll sharpen easily in the field with a stone or steel.
The hollow handle accepts survival gear or handle extensions to change reach and leverage, giving you flexibility for throwing or reaching work without carrying multiple knives. Every Bushman arrives with a Secure-Ex sheath and a Ferrocerium fire steel—practical additions that show Cold Steel understands what actually gets used in the field, not just what looks good in marketing photos. At 9.8 ounces with a 12.25-inch overall length, it's substantial enough to do real work but light enough for extended carry.
