Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie Fixed Blade Knife 1055
Fixed blade knife constructed with a Full Tang design and featuring a broad blade in the Bowie style, crafted from 1055 high-carbon steel. The blade comes with a black powder-coated anti-corrosion coating, while the handle is formed from durable polypropylene. With a blade length of 305 mm, this model is suitable for use as a compact machete, ideal for cutting vines and thin branches. A sheath made from ballistic nylon Cor-Ex is included.
1055 high-carbon steel
Forged from 1055 high-carbon steel, the blade boasts a hardness rating of 54-57 HRC, which enhances resistance to cracks and chipping, ensures easier re-sharpening, and strikes a balance between toughness and flexibility. These characteristics make 1055 steel a popular choice for crafting machetes, bushcraft knives, swords, and tools intended for demanding field applications.
Bowie profile blade, powder coating
Designed with a Bowie blade profile, the blade features a length of 305 mm and a thickness of 2.8 mm. A matte black powder coating covers the surface, minimizing reflections and delivering an extra layer of protection against corrosion, abrasion, and wear commonly encountered during field operations.
Full Tang construction, injection-molded handle
The handle features a Full Tang design, where the steel tang extends throughout the entire length of the handle for enhanced strength and load resistance. Polypropylene scales are directly injection-molded onto the tang, boosting durability against moisture and everyday use. A textured surface provides a secure hold, while the integrated cross guard reduces the chance of the hand sliding onto the blade. An opening at the handle’s end accommodates a safety lanyard.
Cor-Ex sheath
Constructed from Cor-Ex, a highly durable ballistic nylon, the sheath provides comfortable belt carry for the knife. Engineered for resistance to abrasion and moisture, it also enables rapid access to your tool.
