Latest CS haul.

[A.P.F.]

Well, I went a little nuts on my Cold Steel ordering. I bought five Elands (4116): two Pocket Bushmen (BD1); a black Lawman (XHP) and a coyote brown Lawman in XHP. The Elands work great for kitchen duty and touch-up easily. The Lawmen (I now have three.) are all in my EDC rotation and will stay there as they fit my hand perfectly and are, like most CS knives, built like tanks. The real surprise came with the Pocket Bushman. My old Pocket Bushman was a favorite carry of mine, but there was no way in hell I could use the thumb stud to open it one-handed. The latest Bushman now opens easily with the thumbstud and with the steel upgrade, it has now joined my EDC lineup.

The Pocket Bushman is for me a very useful knife. A large, stout blade, in a package that similar to the Military, looks large but carries small. The Bushman is certainly not the most expensive knife that I own, however it is one of the most useful and sits in my pocket as I write this post.

Congrats on your new knives. You can also look into the broken skull, it's has identical length to the Military and it's slim like the pocket bushman. Also, it's 1/2 the weight at 3.1oz so it would be a very good carry blade too.

Hmmm...I have been looking at those as well, however, I just maxed out my knife budget for this month with a black XHP Ti-Lite. Always next month for a Broken Skull.

Ya I grabbed a couple, and glad that I did. Slide one into the chest pocket of my coveralls while metal detecting and it sits deep and flat. Actually I am in a D-2 faze right now. I got the fancy extra sharpening sticks for my Sharpmaker just in case I run into sharpening hassles. But the standard ceramics seem to be ok so far.

Yes, some might think it silly of me, what with a suitcase full of Spyderco and Emerson knives, that the Pocket Bushman gets carried so much, but it just seems to tick all the boxes.

I was missing my Pocket Bushman for years. Found it the other day in a snow boot. I put it back in my bugout bag.
