Review: I love this thing...but - Once again, Cold Steel comes through with a great knife at a reasonable price. The blade came scary sharp, like all of the ... I think 30 CS Knives I own. The coating is excellent, the temper is good, the shape is great for it's purpose, but like almost all commercial Bowie's, the top of the clip came unsharpened. The Griv-Ex sheath is fantastic and holds the knife with a positive "click" that won't let it fall out, even though I've tried pretty darn hard. I have lots of neck knives (I've been collecting knives for almost 6 decades) and only my Cold Steel knives have positive retention without the addition of an external lock, like the Ka-Bar BK11- which won't come out of it's sheath as fast or as quiet as necessary if you find that you suddenly need this particular knife. The ergo's of the handle are supernatural, given it's small size, and it lays so flat that it won't print through a tee shirt. Altogether a 4.5, since there are no perfect knives. Now, I bought this knife because I like CS and I liked the look of this knife, but in my opinion, the CS push knives are a better choice for a desperation weapon. What I'm *really* looking for is a 3.25-3.5" skeleton or otherwise very thin handled, Scandi grind neck knife with a sheath that will NOT let the knife fall out in the field under hard hunting/bushcraft/emergency conditions, that sells for around 40 bucks....more for a leather sheath, although that isn't important, what's important is to have that knife to still be hanging around my neck if the poo hits the primitive cooling device and something unexpected and really bad has happened, and that it has that Scandi grind. Review: Best. Neck. Knife! - I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this knife, especially given the price. It received much love, so it seems that others like it, too. Also, the clip point was the least expensive version and the most functional for my needs, so it seemed ideal. On paper, it has excellent specs - 8cr steel is hands down the most cost-effective trade-off between strength, edge retention, toughness, and cost. At 2.5mm with a full-length tang, it offers excellent overall strength. The Cold Steel Griv-Ex scales are a plus, and since they're removable, you could upgrade with a set of custom scales. The blade arrived in perfect condition - properly cut and formed and razor sharp - and had no manufacturing issues, which are so common in less expensive knives. It comes with a Cold Steel Secure-EX sheath that is very secure, and a metal-bead neck chain that I swapped out for paracord (personal preference). The bead chain is serviceable but cold! The sheath itself is tactical, so you could cross-lash it for scout-carry. That said, it is a smaller sheath, so it may be too small for belt carry. YMMV! Ultimately, my final view on a knife is whether I would replace it if I lost it. For this knife, it's a resounding YES! ## Features - VERSATILE BLADE - The Mini Tac Bowie knife features a sharp, sturdy clip-point blade renowned for its versatility; Whether you're in the field or need an everyday carry option, the thin, sharp tip excels in precision tasks like piercing tough materials - DURABLE STEEL - Crafted from 8CR13MOV stainless steel, this blade strikes the perfect balance of hardness & corrosion resistance; This steel's robust composition ensures the blade retains its sharp edge even after extensive use, great for demanding tasks - GRIV-EX HANDLE - Designed with a durable Griv-Ex handle, the Mini Tac Bowie hunting knife offers a lightweight yet sturdy grip; This ergonomic material ensures a secure hold, providing comfort and stability for both intricate work and heavy-duty tasks - SECURE-EX SHEATH - Equipped with a weather-resistant Secure-Ex sheath and a steel bead lanyard, the Mini Tac Bowie knife is built for long-lasting use; The sheath ensures safe and convenient storage, making it an enduring tool for outdoor enthusiasts - SPECS - Weight: 2.6oz; Blade Thickness: 2.5mm; Blade Length: 3-5/8"; Blade Steel: 8Cr13MoV; Handle Length/Material: 3-1/4" Griv-Ex; Overall Length: 6-7/8"; Knife Type: Fixed Blade; Length Range: 3-5 in; Steel Family: MoV; Blade Shape: Clip Point ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BXLNVGT2 | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #177,297 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #257 in Camping Fixed-Blade Knives | | Blade Edge | Flat | | Blade Length | 4 inches | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Blade Shape | Clip Point | | Blade Type | fixed | | Brand | Cold Steel | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Black | | Customer Package Type | Tamper-Evident and Cushioned | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,676 Reviews | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Included Components | Mini Tac Bowie / 6 7/8" Overall / 3 5/8" Blade | | Item Length | 6.88 inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | Cold Steel MINI TAC BOWIE / 6-7/8" OVERALL / 3-5/8" BLADE / 2.5MM THICK / 8CR13MOV STEEL / 3.25" LONG GRIV-EXβ„’ HANDLE/SECURE-EXβ„’ SHEATH/BLISTER PACKED | | Item Weight | 2.7 ounces | | Manufacturer | GSM Outdoors | | Model Name | Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Clip Point Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife | | Model Number | CS-49HCFZ | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | CS-49HCFZ | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping, Bushcrafting, Hiking, Rescue | | Reusability | Reusable | | Set Name | Single | | Size | 4" | | Special Feature | Cold Steel | | Special Features | Cold Steel | | Style | Blister (CS-49HCFZ) | | Theme | Outdoor, Camping | | UPC | 888151033241 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Blade Material:** Stainless Steel - **Brand:** Cold Steel - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Included Components:** Mini Tac Bowie / 6 7/8" Overall / 3 5/8" Blade - **Model Name:** Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Clip Point Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping, Bushcrafting, Hiking, Rescue - **Special Feature:** Cold Steel - **Style:** Blister (CS-49HCFZ) ## Images ![Mini Tac Bowie 3-5/8" Lightweight Durable 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Clip Point Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, Griv-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath - Blister - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61usEfZjQAL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this thing...but *by M***G on October 23, 2022* Once again, Cold Steel comes through with a great knife at a reasonable price.

Unfortunately it didn’t come with a clip on the sheath. Aside from that, I have nothing but good things to say about this little guy. - Fits nicely in the hand. - Takes up very little space on your person. - Very nicely designed clip point Bowie style blade. - Came very sharp out of the box. - Comfortable grip. - Nice matted finish. - Well balanced. - Great quality for the price. Over all I’d say this is well worth the money. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie 3-5/8" Lightweight Durable 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Clip Point Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, Griv-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath - Blister - Cold Steel C-Clip Small (Pack of 2), Black - Cold Steel Kyoto 3.25" Durable Compact 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Tanto Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3 3/8" Textured Kray-Ex Handle, Sheath Included --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/533158050-mini-tac-bowie-3-5-8-lightweight-durable-8cr13mov-stainless](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/533158050-mini-tac-bowie-3-5-8-lightweight-durable-8cr13mov-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
