The Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie CS49HCFZ delivers tactical knife performance in a compact 3.63-inch package designed for everyday carry and utility tasks. This fixed blade combines the classic bowie profile with modern materials and construction techniques for reliable cutting performance.
What Makes This Different
Unlike folder knives that rely on mechanical locks, this fixed blade construction eliminates failure points while maintaining a compact overall length of just under 7 inches. The stonewashed 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade provides corrosion resistance superior to carbon steel alternatives while holding a sharp edge through extended use. The clip point geometry concentrates cutting force at the tip for precise piercing tasks while the full tang construction transfers impact energy directly to the handle.
Key Features
- 3.63-inch 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade with stonewashed finish resists corrosion and wear
- Full tang construction provides maximum strength for heavy-duty cutting tasks
- 3.25-inch Griv-Ex handle offers secure grip in wet conditions without adding bulk

- Lightweight design at approximately 4.2 ounces reduces carry fatigue
Field testing demonstrates consistent cutting performance across rope, webbing, and cardboard materials without blade flex or handle slippage. The stonewashed finish conceals minor scratches that occur during tactical use while the stainless steel composition resists rust formation in humid environments. Law enforcement and military personnel appreciate the reliable deployment without moving parts that could jam or break under stress.
