Product Description

Cold Steel’s latest version of this romantic and historically significant knife is called The Brave Heart.™ Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, it is a small, compact, multi-purpose knife, that will serve admirably as an hunting or utility knife or as an alternative to a double edge boot knife. The thin, needle sharp tip is ideally suited for piercing, and the precision taper ground blade has been honed by hand to razor sharpness. The traditional jimping on the blade spine is both ornamental and functional, providing an aggressive non-slip platform for the thumb or forefinger to bear downward as needed for maximum control.The compact Kraton handle is designed to accommodate a wide variety of comfortable and secure grip positions, and its slim, flat cross section insures that it will resist turning or twisting in the hand. Kraton, is a superior handle material that Cold Steel has employed for decades because its robust traction and resiliency allows it to withstand the shock of even the hardest blows.

I ordered this knife when in Iraq in 2008. First of all it got there faster than most of my care packages did. It served me well in all purposes from opening boxes to slicing 550 cords; I even used it to cut some thin gauge metal wiring, and it kept its edge surprisingly well. The sheath is solid and the handle is comfortable, the clip on the sheath makes it an excellent boot knife and holds the blade solidly with no retainer other than pressure. I would recommend this as an awesome boot knife in addition to any larger knife one may carry in the field.

I've purchased several Cold Steel products recently and had pretty much expected a product that was ok, but not to expect too much from it in the way of quality. This particular knife was a surprise. While a quick glance may not be all that impressive, as I spent some time dressing the blade the differences started to make themselves known. The steel used in this blade is of a higher quality than I've found in some of the other Cold Steel products. I noticed that it has "Japan" etched on the blade which I take to be a hint about the quality of the blade. Getting a consistent mirror polished edge on this blade by hand took a while, but it produces a great looking enhancement that will likely hold that edge for some time. While the handle is fairly thin, maybe 3 times thicker than the thickest part of the blade, it does have a good feel that is comfortable to grip after spending a bit of time holding and working the knife. Cold Steel did this one right with the price in the right range for the quality, and has raised my expectations for some of their future products.

I am very pleased with this knife. It certainly meats the manufacturers advertised claims for quality. I bought the knife out of curiosity and now find that the clean lines, integrity of the blade and familiar feel in my hand make it a choice for many tasks I would not have thought of, based upon its shape. I am indeed very pleased with this knife.
