## Description

COLD STEEL OUTDOORSMAN FIXED BLADE KNIFE: One of the best multi-purpose hunting knives ever made, this limited edition classic has been a much-loved part of our line-up for many years. Razor sharp, with a wide belly and an up-swept point for skinning, and a secondary bone-breaking edge on the spine for hardier harvesting tasks, the Outdoorsman will make short work of even the biggest game. The VG-10 San Mai blade ensures superior performance and durability. VG-10 San Mai comprises three layers of expertly laminated stainless steel combined in one blade. Hard carbon steel is sandwiched between two layers of tough lower carbon spring steel, thus maximizing edge-holding ability while still being able to withstand impact and lateral stresses. The Outdoorsman generous full tang is encapsulated in weather-proof non-slip Kray-Ex, allowing the knife to be safely used even when your hands are wet and bloody. Supplied with a versatile Secure-Ex sheath, the Outdoorsman knife is the perfect companion for a wide range of tasks. FEATURES: - VG-10 San Mai steel straight back blade; - Kray-Ex Handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 8.7 oz (246.6 g); Blade Thickness: 5 mm; Blade Length: 6"; Handle Length:5 1/8"; Overall Length: 11 1/8".

Review: The sheath seems perfectly fine to me? - I now own both the Outdoorsman Lite and the Outdoorsman in San Mai steel. I owned the Lite first, and I've always thought it to be a pretty decent knife having used it everyday and while camping, though obviously inferior in terms of material. But let me just say, you can honestly *feel* the difference between these two. There is more heft to the SM version, but just barely. You can easily see the difference in the quality of the craftsmanship with the naked eye - crisply defined machined edges, a darker hue to the steel, and a thicker blade overall. The curved-rectangular grip's shape is excellent ergonomically, and the slight increase in weight and the rubberized texture makes it feel even more secure in your hand. I'm not sure what everyone is talking about as far as the sheath is concerned. My blade fits snugly, locks into place with a silent *click* if pressed down into the sheath, and doesn't rattle. I have a feeling that people aren't pressing it in until it locks in position... There's a secondary button snap in case the tension retention fails, too, but I don't see that being an issue until you really break it in and have worn the interior of the sheath down. There's also a nice place for your thumb to press against the sheath when you grip the knife in order to help you free it more easily. It's not the prettiest sheath, sure, but it's not ugly, and it's easily mountable on any backpack, belt, etc. Who knows, maybe they've updated their sheath due to customer response OR maybe I just got lucky. Either way, I love the thing!
Review: Sheath isn't that bad - The knife is great. Flawless build quality, even grinds, and "sharp enough" right out of the box. I've been wanting this knife my whole life, it's my red rider bb gun, finally bought it. I have alot of knives from other makers, Spyderco, ESEE, ZT, Benchmade, SOG (Seal team), KABar, Condor, Cold Steel, Tops, Microtech, some customs, and a few lesser brands just cuz. This knife fits right where it should in terms of quality and construction. The sheath. This knife takes alot of heat from it's sheath. Yes it is a repurposed tanto sheath because it is built on the same blank and has the same build and handle as the tanto, which is apparently more popular. No it isn't as good as an ESEE sheath or any one of my custom sheaths. But, it holds the knife securely and is pretty easy to release the knife with thumb pressure. Wasn't at first, but got better and is still very secure. Downside is it needs a clip. But there are several styles available, like blade tech, for cheap. Is almost better than being stuck with the style you don't want. Lots of people say this knife rattles.... and it does, when you're sitting Infront of the tv on the couch looking for shortcomings with the sheath... when you strap it to your belt or flyfishing sling pack and go off doing outdoorsman things, it doesn't make a sound. One day I may get another custom sheath made for this knife, or maybe I'll make my own, but for now, it works fine. Don't let the sheath stop you from owning the knife.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: where is made**
A: It is made in Taiwan with the sai mai process.  I carried the original Outdoorsman hunting for almost 30 years, that is until the sheath wore out.  I still have it with a few scratches and will never let it go.  The new Outdoorsman really looks like a keeper.

**Q: As of sept. 2021, what is the steel of the outdoorsman lite? i see it listed in the descrpition as 4116 and 4034, with another saying it's 4025.**
A: I believe Cold Steel sez the Outdoorsman Lite is 4116.   Please note - The Outdoorsman ( VG-1 Steel  $ 120 ) and the Ourdoorsman Lite ( 4116  $ 40 ) are different knives - Same design, but different steel.

**Q: Has anyone experienced blade chipping on the newer Taiwanese San Mai version?**
A: No not yet what was you cutting and if nothing contact cold steel and try to get a replacement blade. I have never had one chip and I have several

**Q: Would this be legally considered as a bowie knife? Thanks.**
A: I would consider it a hunting knife as opposed to a Bowie which I have a number of.  I would buy it again but a don't expect it wear out in my lifetime.  I carried the original version for over 30 years bowhunting and only wore out the sheath.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ San Mai Steel Cold Steel
*by N***E on October 29, 2024*

I've owned several Cold Steel Knives and this Cold Steel VG10 San Mai blade will be a knife for all your needs. Sharp out of the box, feels great in hand, dependable and made of quality material. For a mass produce knife, they make them very well. I've carried Cold Steel knife for more then 30 years. 18 years while in the Marine Corps. I recommend this knife and Cold Steel. The seller did an awesome job packaging it and getting it to me on time.
