I love it! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 27, 2025* I love this knife! It has a razor sharp double edged blade that is 8.25" long. It is a great knife for stabbing and slashing and would be my go to in a knife fight. The handle has a sub-hilt finger notch so that your grip cannot slip when your hands get wet or bloody. The blade is premium quality AUS 8 steel that stays sharp and is very strong and will not break or bend. It's my son's favorite knife as well (I bought him one for Christmas) and he not only takes it with him for hunting, he also likes to carry it everywhere for protection. It's very scary if someone comes at you with a knife like this, and it will certainly get the job done if used correctly. These were originally used by officers in WWI and by the CIA because it is the ultimate killing knife. It comes with a nice Kydex Hard sheath as well, which is necessary to safely carry such a big, sharp, double-edged, deadly knife. Cold Steel makes the best knives for the best price. I highly recommend this one! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great unique knife *by on Reviewed in the United States November 12, 2025* This is a well designed knife. It is very large but incredibly light and plenty strong for what it's designed for. It is not a bush knife for bush crafting, wood working, or opening boxes. The sheath needs to have some material removed in my opinion if one is to be able to execute a comfortable, secure draw, and this is easy to do. Knife is well ground and very sharp. The sheath is ok but I'll be looking for a custom leather one. The sub grip design on this affords extreme control over the knife. A real bargain for the money. I own a tremendous lot of military knives but this one is uniquely engineered, embracing concepts old and new. It's actually incredible. May Lynn Thompson forever design great weapons. No one is better in my opinion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible Bowie *by on Reviewed in the United States April 20, 2025* This is an exceptional knife. I wanted something that I could use to defend myself against dogs, and looked at some of the Dbad bowies and other cold steel knives. Everyone loves massive mini-swords until they have to carry it all day, every day, pulling their pants down and slapping their knees with every step.This knife is incredibly lightweight, you barely even notice it’s there. I got some of the clips that cold steel makes and they hold it securely on my belt.The handle profile resembles the lozenge shape of the fairbairn sykes dagger which helps if you’re grasping it like an ice pick, screwdriver, or saber grip. I was a little apprehensive about the hand guard being rubber and the little half guard, but they’re sturdy and don’t interfere with maneuvering the handle or drawing it. People who have never used knives in combat have a wealth of opinions about how it wouldn’t stop a massive chop from another blade. Knife fights usually don’t look like the 3 musketeers fencing.I know cold steel likes to use the same blade for multiple different styles of knife, this has the stereotypical Bowie knife clip point, but it’s fully double edged so it being grabbed isn’t an issue and the thrust penetrating is incredible.This isn’t a camping knife, a butcher knife, or anything like that. It’s really for just one thing and I think it’s the best I’ve found for that. It has enough mass for a slicing cut and great for thrusting, the original use of the Bowie knife.Very reasonable price too. ## Frequently Bought Together - COLD STEEL OSS 8.25" Japanese AUS8A Clip Point Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Outdoor Hunting Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel Marauder 9" Japanese AUS8A Clip Point Blade 5.125" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Outdoor Hunting Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel SRK 6" SK-5 Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Durable Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4466594-cold-steel-oss-8-25-japanese-aus8a-clip-point-blade](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4466594-cold-steel-oss-8-25-japanese-aus8a-clip-point-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
