Cold Steel Black Bear Classic Knife: Engineered for Brutal Efficiency

A Combat-Ready Classic, Built Without Compromise

Built for Purpose, Not Just for Show

The Cold Steel Black Bear Classic Knife isn’t a wall-hanger. It’s a purpose-built, dual-edged fighting knife modelled after the time-tested American combat daggers of WWII. Every inch of this blade speaks one language: precision under pressure. With a 9-inch VG-1 San Mai® steel blade, it delivers a deadly combination of razor-sharp edges and sheer stopping power.

Balanced and precise, it sits in the hand like it was grown there. A tapering full tang runs the length of the grip, giving it solid weight distribution and zero nonsense.

Confidence in Every Cut

When you’re dealing with unpredictable conditions, control is everything. That’s where the Cold Steel Black Bear Classic Knife shines. Its deeply contoured polished Micarta handle grips like stone even in soaked hands. The double guard keeps your fingers off the edge when the stakes are real.

This knife isn’t flashy. It’s functional. It’s a reminder that sometimes the old ways still work—especially when they’re reimagined with better steel, smarter design, and no compromises.
