ColdSteel Pocket Bushman

The clip point, flat ground blade is 4116 Stainless and has a tumbled / stonewash finish, nothing special but it came impressively shaving sharp. Nice to see that it is supported on phosphor bronze washers considering this is an economy model. Cutting edge is 4" and just over 1/8" thick.

Picture of the knife disassembled.

I do like this knife its very well built even tho it cost under £20, its designed to be abused. it has made its way in to my pack as a back up or as a sole knife. its got a lot of charm in such a simple set up.

Not the best pictures but I will try and take better ones its just that this is a BIG knife lol

As part of a passaround on Britishblades, I am glad i didnt buy it its SHIT... Everyone who has had it agrees its useless

So here are my expert pics

S30v leek only used for reference to size






On its own











A few of MANY flaws with this little thing



The grind is well off dodgy machine marks, stiff mechanism, you would think after being used by a number of people it would loosen up but its still stiff and rough :|


Save your Money people ;-)

Update

well no sign of the native yet, should be here soon.. hopefully

the SRK arrived its a really nice knife, heavy and tough just what i was after, has a good edge as well.

Shoki will be ordered out of my first wage packet, but Moon has dropped me in it and shown me some SOG knives, which did quite take my fancy in particular the SOG Vulcan and mini vulcan particularly the Tanto version .

Will post pics of the new ones on friday, been at work today and got a hard day tomorrow ;)

thanks 

Update

well i need to update this, will update properly tomorrow.  

Quick Rundown:

I got the job, should hopefully be working more than the minimum 12hours a week, i would do 8hour days but i doubt anyone could manage it... so should be doing 4-5  4hour days a week. (10 an hour aint bad)

New purchases, 

• CS Pocket Bushman, its in my bugout pouch now its really simple and strong...
  
• Spyderco Native should be here anytime soon, sweet little knife in S3oV
  
• CS SRK big knife in CarbonV (very rare now) i was going to go for an A1 or S1 from fallkniven, size was an issue but this blade shapes are all similar, the S1 is about 5 1/2" and the A1 is about 6 1/2" the SRK sits perfectly in the middle at 6"
  

theres also a special one a Guycep Nessmuk in the necker format, got a while before it arrives as it is not made yet ;-)

Only other knife I want to buy this year is the Benchmade Shoki, other than that i am completely done, not anything else i really want to get my grubby hands on
