Product Description
For the money, the Bushman® knife might be the strongest survival/outdoor knife in the world! Unlike most hollow handled survival knives, there is no joint or seam between the blades and handles that requires a mechanical fastener. Instead, the Bushman's® blades and integral handles are each expertly cold forged out of a single piece of 2.5mm thick SK-5 high carbon steel. The resulting knives are expertly heat-treated and tempered to RC54 and, when subjected to our tests, have withstood over two tons of pressure on their blade/handle transition! Every Bushman® blade has been carefully ground to an extra thin edge, and then honed and buffed by hand until razor sharp. The Bushman® knives are versatile too! Their hollow handles will accept survival supplies or a variety of handle extensions which can maximize reach. Features continuously curved blades that are ideal for skinning, and will pierce, cut, slash, slice and shear like you won't believe. Comes complete with our new heavy duty Cordura Survival sheath which features a utilitarian pocket on the front for storing small items.

Customer Reviews
I should preface this review by saying that I am not only a connoisseur of knives, but I am also a avid outdoorsman and heavy user of them as well. I use knives and I use them hard, none of them sit on a shelf or in a drawer collecting dust.
I bought the Bushman Bowie first because of its price, second, because I wanted to give Cold Steel a shot as a manufacturer. I was not disappointed in this blade.
The blade itself, at 7 inches long has a lot of utility. I have found the bowie design useful because it allows me to grip the back of the blade with ease for skinning and detailed carving. The point on the bowie is also aligned with the handle, making it better at sticking and penetrating; this makes a decent spear.
The blade is also thin, so don't think you are getting a true bowie knife when you buy this blade. Because of this, chopping is not it's strong point, but it will chop branches if need be. However, the thinness is a virtue, as it is lighter, slices better for food prep, and makes it more functional as a spear (a thick blade would not make a great spear). The metal is tempered softer than some knives; 54rc, but this has it's advantages. This steel is less likely to chip, instead, under the worst abuse the edge would simply roll or dent, which could be easily fixed with stone out of a creek. A chip on the other hand could be detrimental in a survival scenario.
This metal is also much easier to sharpen; another wilderness virtue.
The spear function is what I like most about this knife. Just chop down a small sapling, jam it in the hollow handle, and you have a functional hunting or defense weapon, and you can even use it to harvest fruits and nuts that may grow high in the treetops and normally inaccessible. If you need more chopping power, you can also jam a stick in the handle that is just long enough to extend your grip a few more inches (or more!). Then, you can grip the end of your new handle and have much greater leverage when swinging and chopping. Nifty!
The strength of this knife is superb. It is a one piece construction, with the handle part folded and welded into a tube. The weld line appears seamless; Cold Steel did an excellent job finishing it up. I have beaten my knife in ways that one would never need to in any normal circumstance just to test the strength. I've wacked the weld line with a hammer repeatedly, and not a dint, ding, or crack anywhere. This blade could survive an atomic blast.
Overall, this would make an excellent survival knife. Lightweight, sturdy, easy to sharpen, holds a great edge, can be a spear, can hold an emergency kit in the handle, anything else I'm missing here?! Good knife, get one, you won't be disappointed.
cold steel has some great products. this one is probably my favorite so far. the steel is softer so a metal file works great at actually making that painted bevel a functional part of the blade as it should be. mine is almost sharp enough to shave Rambo style. softer steel also makes the blade harder to break. apparently it will flex more under pressure. so what if softer steel doesn't hold an edge as long as a scalpel or whatever. really now, how many times do you think you will need to stab your next meal before it either runs off or dies?
a long wood shovel handle fits great in the end and has a nice screw hole to fix it in place.
if you haven't already gone to the cold steel website, go there now and check out the PDF on how badass a spear can be in the hands of somebody who knows what he is doing. disclaimer: no matter what you see some dumb ass on TV or in the movies doing, just take it easy and don't try anything stupid or you just might get hurt... duh. martial arts/hunting, etc. take a lifetime to master.
this is some serious ghetto whoop ass action though. now go sharpen up on your kung fu then go take down a woolly mammoth or something. now that you know the secret power of the spear, be sure to watch Michael Caine and the brits getting their asses handed to them by a bunch of spear chucking warriors in the historically accurate movie: Zulu.
enjoy :)
oh yeah, it is balanced such that it can double as a throwing knife. sweet!
