Most survival knives will fail. Cold Steel developed their Bushman survival knives with this idea in mind. With a suggested retail value of $29.99, you might not expect much in terms of strength or cutting ability.
I recently picked up a Bushman of my own and here are my thoughts:
What I like about the Bushman:
1. The blade was razor sharp right out of the box.
It is made from SK-5 high carbon steel, which is very tough and holds a good edge.
2. The hollow handle gives you a lot of different possibilities. You can keep matches, lighters or other survival gear in the Bushman's handle.
You can also attach the Bushman to a wooden shaft in the wilderness and turn it into a devastating spear.
3. Cold Steel's Bushman is hollow ground. This means that the blade tapers down to a razor thin edge, which gives you precise cutting ability.
The blade is still thick enough to withstand a lot of punishment.
4. The original Cold Steel Bushman is made with a spear point. Cold Steel also makes the knife with a Bowie style blade.
Both blade styles are rugged enough to handle nature's fury.
What I didn't like:
1. I felt that the blade could have been a bit thicker. But for $30 I will settle for 3/32".
2. The sheath can be a little bit more rugged. The cordura sheath does help to keep costs down as well.
Overall:
The Cold Steel Bushman survival knife is a STEAL for the price. I highly recommend it for camping, hiking, or survival activities.
Now you can get a Cold Steel Bushman for as little as $10.
