Cold steel 95FBC bushman
The Bushman® has been a mainstay of the Cold Steel line for more than a decade now. It’s an economically simple design, with winning features like strength, versatility, and an affordable price. It’s practically perfect! So, rather than upstage the Bushman, we’ve created a complement to it, a version small enough to carry with you everywhere you go. The Pocket Bushman.
While it’s physically impossible for any folding knife to ever match the strength and rigidity of a fixed blade, we believe our Pocket Bushman, with its patent pending lock, is close to hitting the mark. The blade is long and wide with a short, sharp, clip point for usefulness and versatility. And it’s hollow ground from top to bottom with just enough belly to be useful for all sorts of tasks.
For the handle, we used the mono block construction method famously used in the French Douk Douk line of knives. There are several advantages to using the mono block. It’s simple to mass-produce, and, since there are no liners, handle scales or back spacers, the end result is quite affordable.
Andrew Demko designed the Ram Safe™ lock to work in tandem with the monoblock handle. It features a unique, self-adjusting ram that moves forward as the knife is opened and wedges itself tightly between the tang cut away we call the “shelf” and the “U” shaped “roof” of the handle. It’s powered by a strong compression spring that urges the ram forward and makes for an incredibly strong lock up.
The only way the Ram Safe™ lock can be overcome is if the blade breaks or if the pivot pin is sheared off. Two situations that are highly improbable.
