Cold Steel 1849 Rifleman's Knife 1085
The Rifleman's Knife stands as an impressive blade, drawing inspiration from the antique knife collection belonging to Lynn C. Thompson, Cold Steel's founder and CEO. Its design echoes the legendary knives carried by American riflemen since 1849. Expertly forged from premium materials, each knife is constructed with meticulous attention to detail.
1085 carbon steel, Spear-Point blade
Featuring a Spear-Point blade profile, the blade measures 305 mm in length with a thickness of 6 mm. Forged from 1085 high carbon steel, the blade stands out for its easy sharpening and exceptional retention of edge sharpness. The cutting edge is precisely balanced and holds its performance characteristics over time.
rosewood handle, brass cross guard
A contoured rosewood handle delivers a secure and comfortable grip, maintaining control even in wet or dirty conditions. Reinforced with durable brass pins, the handle features a substantial brass cross guard on the blade side to shield the hand from sliding onto the cutting edge. The end of the handle is equipped with a milled hole designed for attaching a safety cord or strap.
leather sheath
A rugged leather sheath featuring polished brass accents is included with the set. Secured with a wide loop, the sheath is designed for reliable belt attachment.

A huge beast. Anything bigger would be a sword. Solid, well-fitted and quite sharp (cuts paper). The sheath is also great. Looks cool on a belt next to a revolver holster. I recommend it.

Fantastic, solidly made, I recommend it, worth buying.
-
Great equipment – it is a joy to look at – and let it stay that way.
