Cold SteelBowie 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

Large and sharp. Hollow handle for putting a stick or handle in to make a spear. Very hard and durable. Comes with a fire starter. Sheath is plastic with a plastic belt clip. Knife stays in the sheath by a plastic closure tab. You have to kind of push on it to release which is good because it keeps the knife secure.Plus the price is right. I would just advise wearing gloves or wrapping the handle in tape or paracord as it is smooth and potentially your hand could slip into the blade.

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.

This one came as a complete surprise. Normally I feel you get what you pay for but this spear point came with surprises. Sharp enough to be usable right out of the box. I have to be honest and admit this spent quite sometime just hanging off my pack as I worry about the strength of the spears tip. But after forgetting a camp axe and batoning nearly a quarter cord of wood with this lil beauty and it 1 remains usably sharp and 2 did not warp the blade at all. Both reason enough to try out the other designs. This thing might be awesome on the end of a stick but it’s super handy as a hand tool as well.

Extremely sharp out of the box. Cut myself taking it out of the sheath. Great value!

Bought this knife for an all-around bushcrafting knife aka take out to the woods knife. The knife is exceptionally sharp and maintains an edge very well sheath is very durable and comes with a somewhat decent feral rod knife comes razor sharp out of the box and holds and maintains an edge with no trouble feels good in the hand and has served me well on several camping trips so far.

…is buying and modifying Cold Steel products for bushcraft and warfare.what we have here is the Cold Steel Bowie Bushman, and I’ve got to say there is probably nothing easier modify to your personal standards in the Cold Steel line- up.First of all, it’s dirt cheap. I got this bad boy for $16. I spent more than that for chicken biscuits at Hardee’s this AM. Those are gone. This is here to stay.Second…it’s customizable to the Nth degree. You can do handle wraps. You can add storage to the secure-x sheath with bike tubing. You can store items in the handle. You can make it into a spear. What you have here is a strong, SHARP, reliable blade for PENNIES.And it’s LIGHTWEIGHT. I can wear a sword of a knife into town without changing out of my PJ’s. Totally confident that nobody’s gonna mess with me just by popping this into my elastic waistband. Easy peasy.The first thing I did was pop a wine cork into the end of the handle. Now I can store survival items in the hollow. I’ll probably do a minimal fishing kit.Next, I wrapped the handle with hockey tape to improve the grip. You can also do paracord wraps. YouTube goes into great detail on how to do a functional and aesthetically pleasing job.Finally I sawed the gimmicky ferrocerium rod holder off of the side of the sheath and sanded the surface smooth. You may like that kind of thing, but I find the sheath much more streamlined and easy to index without it.The possibilities are limitless. There is no greater tool to a man than a good knife. This is one of those and much more.

Admit it , you only reason you want this knife in the first place is to make it into a spear. Using it as a knife only would be mediocre at best, and poorly underutilized, and boring.Attach a 4 foot or 5 foot, or 6 foot long (your preference) wooden rake pole (easily purchases from any hardware store) to this Bushman, and it transforms it into a formidable weapon, 200x way better than just using it as a knife. Excellent for fighting, self defence, or hunting, It is also functions well as a walking stick.All aside, the knife is of excellent quality. a weaponized walking stick to defend yourself against wild animals.The knife is rock solid, it is very hard to bend with little flex, and comes hair shaving sharp out of the box. The sheath is made out of very high quality plastic and snaps on very securely.I cant stress enough that it must be made into a spear to be fully appreciated.It is hands down the best spear for the money you can make/build right now.
