Cold Steel Black Bear Classic Fixed Blade Knife

A Loveless Legend, Crafted with Premium San Mai® Steel.

The Cold Steel Black Bear Classic pays tribute to one of the most influential knife designs ever created. Originally developed by legendary knifemaker Bob Loveless, a founding member of the Knifemakers' Guild, the sub-hilt hunting knife has become a benchmark in modern knife making. Cold Steel's interpretation combines this timeless design with premium materials and exceptional craftsmanship to create a knife worthy of the original.

At its heart is an impressive 8.25-inch blade forged from VG-10 San Mai III® laminated stainless steel, delivering exceptional edge retention, toughness and corrosion resistance. The double-ground blade is expertly heat treated before receiving a refined satin finish, with both cutting edges precision honed to achieve outstanding sharpness and cutting performance.

The defining feature of the Black Bear Classic is its sub-hilt handle design, which provides superior hand security and exceptional control during demanding cutting tasks. The beautifully finished black G-10 handle scales are individually hand-shaped, contoured and secured with six stainless steel pins, offering outstanding durability while showcasing the knife's premium craftsmanship.

Supplied with a durable sheath for safe storage and transport, the Cold Steel Black Bear Classic is a stunning combination of classic knife-making heritage, modern materials and uncompromising performance—an outstanding addition to any serious knife collection.
