Cold Steel 18H Outdoorsman Fixed (6.0 Inch VG-1 San Mai III Satin Plain Blade) Kray-Ex Handle + Leather Sheath

The Outdoorsman is a tried and tested Cold Steel classic. With the good looks, impeccable fit and finish and high performance to rival even the finest custom knives…but make no mistake, this is no mere show piece – the Outdoorsman is made to work!

The Outdoorsmans has a razor sharp, hollow ground blade with a continuously curved cutting edge. This, combined with the blades wide belly and upswept point make the Outdoorsman a fantastic skinner that will process even the biggest game with ease.

Its Japanese VG-1 San Mai III blade is further complimented by a bone breaker on the spine - which will keep your skinning edge keen by taking up the hardier processing tasks – and a slip-resistant Kray-Ex handle that encapsulates the blades full tang.

There is no doubt that the Outdoorsman deserves pride of place in any knife collection, but it is in the field where it really shines. A fine gift for any hunter and a future heirloom to be passed down to future generations, the Cold Steel Outdoorsman is hard to beat.

Cold Steel had a lot of friends ask them to bring back the Outdoorsman. So they have dusted off the tooling and made a new run. Only this time they added two new improvements. The first is jimping on the blade back. This gives the thumb and index finger more control of the edge as they now have a non-slip platform to rest on. The second is a chopping edge, or bone breaker. In their tests, this edge hacked through everything they put in front of it, including heavy gauge steel wire, so it's sure to stand up in the field! As before, the Outdoorsman comes with a heavy leather sheath, fitted with a brush proof retaining strap.
