The Cold Steel CS20A Bird & Game knife delivers precision cutting performance for hunters and outdoor professionals who demand reliable field processing capabilities. This fixed blade design combines a razor-sharp AUS-8A stainless steel edge with an ergonomic polymer handle for consistent control during extended use.
What Makes This Different
The CS20A features a drop point blade geometry that provides superior piercing capability while maintaining excellent edge retention through AUS-8A stainless steel construction. Unlike standard carbon steel hunting knives that require constant maintenance, this stainless composition resists corrosion in wet field conditions while holding a sharp edge through multiple processing sessions. The 3.5-inch blade length offers optimal balance between maneuverability and cutting power for medium to large game processing.
Key Features
- AUS-8A stainless steel blade with superior edge retention and corrosion resistance
- 3.5-inch drop point blade optimized for precision skinning and field dressing
- Textured black polymer handle provides secure grip in wet conditions
- Full tang construction ensures blade stability under heavy use
- Plain edge design maximizes cutting efficiency without maintenance complexity
- Compact 7.25-inch overall length for easy carry and storage
- Includes durable polymer sheath for safe transport and protection
Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across various game processing tasks, from waterfowl preparation to deer field dressing. The drop point configuration excels at controlled cuts around joints and bones, while the plain edge slices cleanly through hide and membrane without tearing. The textured polymer handle maintains grip security even when wet with blood or field moisture, reducing fatigue during extended processing sessions.
