For the money, the Bushman series of survival knives are hard to beat! Unlike the majority of hollow handled knives, there is no joint or seam between the blades and handles, instead the Bushman’s blade and handles are cold forged out of a single piece of SK-5 high carbon steel! The resulting knives are expertly heat-treated and tempered to RC54 and, when subjected to our tests, have withstood over two tons of pressure on their blade/handle transition! Every Bushman has been carefully ground to an extra thin edge, and then honed and buffed by hand until razor sharp. Their hollow handles will accept survival supplies or a variety of handle extensions which can maximize reach, leverage or ease of throwing. Available in two blade styles (Standard and Bowie point) both feature curved blades that are ideal for skinning and a multitude of bushcraft chores. Both come complete with a Secure-Ex sheath which houses a high-quality Ferrocerium Fire Steel.

Customers praised this fixed blade knife as "very sharp" and "strong" with a "solid feel." Shoppers appreciated the affordable price and versatility for cutting, slashing, and batoning. Some noted the spine needs filing to strike ferro rods, and many wrap the handle for better grip and comfort.
Very sharp👍🏻👍🏻
just recieved this, and already love the solid feel of handling it. wrapped the handle with some hockey tape for better grip. going to add lanyard for better handling during batoning. might add some stick for better handling. all in all, good solid affordable fixed blade. might get another one.
Giving it 5 stars for:
Price: Very affordable
Usefullness: Meets requirement, very practical, lightweight, versatile. A slasher, cutter and stabber.
Quality: Very good especially for the price.
Pros: Comes presharpen, love the versatility especially able to make a spear for a weapon if needed.
Cons: Knife spine should have been pre made to strike a ferro rod ( I filed tje spine as in photo, but no big deal. Now able to strike ferro rod attached.
Ferro rod might fall off so I attached a bungee cord, strapped to the ferro rod sheath.
I also wrapped the knife's handle with Firecord to make it comfortable to hold and for a better grip. The cord can also be used to secure stick to be attached to make a spear.
Conclusion: A good knife for its price, better than expected. The cons are minor and negligable.
