Now that Cold Steel has addressed the problems that faced the Pocket Bushman... 1. The RAM-SAFE LOCK spring guide has been addressed and FIXED. (Broken or deformed Ram-Lock springs have been fixed by re-designing the RAM-LOCKS' Guide) 2. The Blade steel has been UPGRADED to CTS-BD1. (vastly superior in strength and corrosion resistance to former versions of Krupp's 4116.) ... The Pocket Bushman is one of the best folding knives out there. (for the money) Although, it is not one of the easiest folders to use... It makes up for it in Strength and Reliability. It is well worth the $30 they are asking for it and should serve you well for years to come. It's open-close operation has scared a lot of people away from the Pocket Bushman, but it is one of the STRONGEST locking systems built today. Another feature that has "scared" customers away is its resemblance to the French "Douk-Douk" folding pocket knife, which has NO blade lock, as the Douk-Douk is a "friction-folder". The Pocket Bushman (2016 version) has all of its problems resolved and I highly recommend it for as one tough, sharp, reliable, large pocket folder. Lastly, this pocket knife is not for little kids. It is a serious knife and would highly dangerous in the hands of children.Read full review

I am always surprised at how much quality is built into a Cold Steel knife. The Pocket Bushman didn't fail to impress. They had a design flaw earlunon but that was fixed years ago. Not an EDC but a great camp knife!!!!

The Cold Steel Pocket Bushman is definitely the best in the value vs. quality department. It's tough as nails and will take just about anything you can throw at it. Solid build with no blade play anywhere. The price is unbelievably low for the kind of quality you receive. Love it. Thanks Cold Steel. Chad Downing

Probably the strongest and sturdiest folder money can buy, Very good quality and excellent fit and finish. Razor sharp right out of the package. Be careful when opening or closing the knife, strong spring cam lock can pinch/cut, but that shouldn't be a problem if used with some common sense safety. It is that bulletproof locking feature that makes this knife so strong and unique. Price can't be beat either.

I understand that there is a lot of negative criticism about the pocket Bushman. I do not have that opinion. I think the knife is absolutely a beast. For $25 find me a knife fit that size, that can do what I can do. So simplistic so tough. I love that it will only open on purpose and close on purpose. Not only a knife but this is a tool tool that can be used for a lot of activities. This isn't your mom's pocket knife you must be careful when handling it. I would totally recommend it and for those people who don't like it and for those people who don't like it well keep buying your $200 knives and collecting them and griping about cold still. I'll be buying cold still I have since the late 90s. I'm not afraid to use them in any situation they are my everyday carries and the majority of knives in my collectionRead full review
