What is the reputation of Cold Steel Bushman? Check the reviews!

Wholesaled for hunting stoppage. Not only does the blade cut, but it also has a high piercing force, and the blade slips in. As expected, cold steel. The problem is strength, but it is still thinner and looks delicate compared to Fukuro Nagasa. The stars are perfect because it is reasonable considering the price.

 

Since the blade thickness is delicate than the photo, it is soft as a mountain sword, but I think that it is effective for phlebotomy and piercing if sharpening is devised. After all, it is safer to wrap a paracord around the knife handle to prevent it from slipping. Since it is a rusty steel material, maintenance is essential, but it is also possible to sharpen it with water, so it is recommended for those who seek practicality.

I took it to the camp and it was very successful. Since the blade is thick and heavy, it can handle the work of removing branches with plenty of room, and even if it is used for cooking immediately after that, the sharpness is not lost at all. When cutting meat, cut it from the blade so that it bites into the meat.

 

When I enter the mountain, I use it quite roughly, but it feels like I picked it up and it seems to endure enough. The first thing to do when you buy a knife of this kind is to shave your hair and try to sprinkle it, then cut open the canned lid, both of which are fine. Blade thickness, shape, edge length, weight, ease of grip, simple leather sheath I think it’s a pretty exquisite knife.
