## Description

COLD STEEL OUTDOORSMAN LITE FIXED BLADE KNIFE The Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite is the ultimate all-purpose outdoor knife, built for adventurers who demand versatility and durability. Whether you're skinning game, mastering bushcraft, or slicing through tough materials, this knife handles it all with precision. Crafted with a 6-inch 4116 stainless steel blade, it's engineered to withstand the toughest tasks, while the partially swedged spine offers added utility for scraping and carving. Perfect for hunting, survival, and camping, it's a reliable partner in any setting. Designed for practicality, the Outdoorsman Lite features a polypropylene guard, pommel, and core section, fully encasing the knife's tang for unparalleled strength and convenience. Its lightweight build is complemented by a simple yet functional sheath, making it easy to carry and access. The textured Kraton handle is deeply checkered for a secure, non-slip grip that's impervious to harsh weather conditions. Easy to clean and exceptionally comfortable, it ensures precise control and a firm hold no matter the task. With its rugged build and thoughtful design, the Cold Steel Outdoorsman Lite is your go-to tool for every adventure.

Review: Excellent, affordable and functional - This thing is a beast. Everything an outdoor fixed blade should be and it's cheap as well. Razor sharp and extremely grippy on the handle . There is always a downside to something when it's this cheap and this useful and this item is no exception. In the case of this particular item the problem is the sheath. It fits into the sheath good and tight and the edge doesn't rub anywhere I can see the issue is the fact that so little is sticking out when properly seated that you can only get a thumb and two fingers on it to draw. Not the greatest sheath.
Review: The highest quality field knife for such a low cost of ownership: the Cold Steel Outdoorsman-Lite Knife - For the price at which desertcart offers this remarkably fine knife for sale, the Cold Steel Outdoorsman-Lite Knife is clearly the best made, sharpest, most rugged, and most practical knife that I own (at this price point). Throughout the internet as well as here in the desertcart.com knife review section I have read very many excellent and seemingly truthful reviews regarding this knife, and sadly, I have also read many distasteful and overtly inaccurate reviews. The latter (very negative and distasteful) reviews have, for the most part, been included in other (non-desertcart.com) internet knife forums and some of these very negative and distasteful reviews have aluded to supposed involvement of this knife's steel supplier(s) in World War Two Axis Power activities and support. Perhaps it is now a convenient time to remember that WW II is long concluded, that today's average German steel worker and German metallurgical industry participant is a man or woman who owns a high personal ethic, and that these same German workers own a great knowledge of their trade as well as a high degree of scientific-industrial ingenuity. All of that being said, the knife I own (my Cold Steel Outdoorsman-Lite Knife) is "Lite" in only two attributes that come to mind: 1) weight, and 2) cost. This knife is light-weight, exceptionally strong, exceptionally sharp (out of the box), and retains it's keen edge with minimal sharpening after extended and heavy use in the field. My Oitdoorsman-Lite is as easy to use as a keenly honed pocket knife. This is not a "cheap" field knife, it just happens to be (fortunately!) of remarkably low cost. As it pertains to the following details: 1) my knife's keen edge, 2) it's uncanny ability to remain sharp despite rugged use in the field and at home (my year-round sporting activity is the hunting of feral hogs in southeast Georgia), 3) the very high quality of stainless steel alloy from which it's blade and tang are constructed, and 4) the extremely comfortable and surprisingly ergonomic grip, I can conclude that this knife is one of the best field knives I have ever owned and that it is anything but "Lite" as it regards the remarkably high quality of its construction for such a low cost of ownership. Therefore, today, I have purchased two more Cold Steel Outdoorsman-Lite knives: one for my kitchen, and another for the field. Thank you for permitting me to share my personal experiences and opinions regarding this remarkable knife. Sincerely yours, N. M., Georgia

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of sheath does it come with 2019?**
A: Secure X  low profile sheath is what my 1019 Outdoorsman lite has.

**Q: Can the bottom of the knife be used as a glass breaker? It looks like some metal is exposed.**
A: Absolutely, it can be used as a glass breaker! This is full tang knife and the exposed tang end can most certainly be used to break through a pane of glass or car windshield.  Please note that it is not an ideal tool to do so; tools designed to break glass usually have a sharpened tip to concentrate force and bit into the glass surface.  You have more control that way. But this knife can be used to break through glass if you are willing and able to put enough "oomph" behind it. if you want to grind the exposed tang bottom end to a point or chisel end for breaking glass it might be a useful modification. Howzat?

**Q: Would this make a good tactical/ self defense knife?**
A: The general thought is any knife you have on you at the present time that you are moderately proficient with can be considered a "good" tactical/self defense knife. Also, keep in mind a knife is essentially a tool. Putting it into the defensive role means things have gone pretty bad for you and even with proper training you will probably get you cut.That being said. I love this knife! for a $15-20 knife the fit and finish is terrific. It comes very sharp and would make a fine camp/outdoorsman's knife. The sheath is crappy, but for the price it does the job. To get back to your original question if put to the task of self-defense I'm sure it could get the job done.Good Luck and God Bless.

**Q: I was under the impression that the 4116 bladed knives were out of production. Is this old stock, or the wrong description?**
A: I do not know if they are still in production.   I bought mine years ago.  It is a fine knife.  I use it often at the camp and carry in my water pack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice field knife
*by N***E on November 20, 2024*

For the price this knife is perfect for hard use, is a great price, and comes with a durable plastic sheath. Super sharp out of the box, feels great in hand all while if you damage it you didn't waste a lot of money on it. However, this knife is tough and you needent worry about damaging it. Biggest thing I've had to do is resharpen it once in a while. Get one today, I Highly recommend this knife! Cold steel makes some very reliable knives with some of the best safety features.
