Cold Steel Black Bear Bowie Tactical Machete

The Black Bear Bowie was built for the modern tactical outdoorsman. This giant bowie style machete breaks through brush like nobody’s business, but its more than just a mindless hacking tool. The sweeping clip point blade with its single-bevel edge is a precision cutting instrument. A black powder coating minimizes reflectivity for covert operation and matches the all-black steel guard, polypropylene handle, and cordura sheath.

Why choose this machete?

• Large bowie blade is built for power
• Scandinavian ground edge offers superior cutting control
• Clip point tip can be used for strong thrust cuts
• Black powder finish is corrosion resistant
• Steel guard protects your hand from the blade
• Cor-Ex sheath provides comfortable belt carry

Why not?

• Scandinavian ground edge only cuts in one direction
• Clip point blade has a weaker tip than drop point blades
• Handle is not textured

Pro tip:
A single-bevel grind, such as a chisel grind or Scandinavian grind, is only ground on one edge, leaving the other side flat. Single-bevel ground blades are easier to control, because they create less drag as they cut. They are also significantly easier to re-sharpen, so they are often used for outdoor knives.
