Cold Steel Pocket Bushman
CS’s design team conquers the task of making an economy folder that’ll stand up to any adventure!
A few years ago Cold Steel Knives introduced a one piece, all-metal knife called the “Bushman.” Like many common agricultural tools in the third world, the fixed blade featured a welded seam, steel tube handle. You can’t get much simpler if you are trying to make tough but economical implements for backwoods subsistence farmers. As it turns out, it works equally well for producing very-low-cost knives.
What has really impressed me is the great acceptance of these basic knives by the real-world jungle experts of South America and Africa. More than once I’ve been told of Americans leaving both expensive “survival” knives and CS Bushman blades behind with the local villagers in the jungle. When they went back some time later they found only the Cold Steel Bushmans were still in everyday service, while the more expensive knives had been tossed in a corner somewhere.
