Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie 3.63" Fixed Blade Knife - CS-49HCF

The Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie is a compact fixed blade knife built for hunters, outdoors enthusiasts, and anyone who needs a reliable blade they can count on in the field or carry every day. Designed by Andrew Demko and part of Cold Steel's proven Mini Tac lineup, this 3.63-inch fixed blade combines a sharp, durable clip point with a no-nonsense grip—the kind of tool that doesn't slow you down whether you're processing game, setting camp, or handling tasks around the property.

At just 2.6 ounces, the Mini Tac Bowie won't weigh down your pack or belt, yet it delivers the blade steel and thickness you expect from Cold Steel. The 8Cr13MoV blade holds an edge well and resists corrosion, while the 2.5mm stock is sturdy enough to handle real work without flex or worry. The Griv-Ex handle provides a solid grip in wet conditions, and the overall length of 6-7/8 inches gives you enough reach without excess bulk.

What you get out of the box matters: this knife ships with a Secure-Ex sheath that keeps the blade secure during carry or travel, plus a steel bead lanyard for backup retention. Whether you're hunting backcountry, hiking remote terrain, or just want a trustworthy blade on your hip, the Mini Tac Bowie fills that role without pretense or unnecessary features.
