The Cold Steel 1849 Rifleman’s Knife is a faithful recreation of a historic blade, designed with precision and durability for collectors, re-enactors, and practical use. Modeled after the first knife officially adopted by the U.S. Army, this fixed blade combines authentic style with modern craftsmanship. The 12" spear point blade, forged from 1085 high carbon steel, offers excellent edge retention and strength, making it suitable for a variety of cutting tasks. Its satin finish gives the blade a clean, polished look, complementing its rugged functionality.
The knife’s full tang construction ensures unparalleled stability and durability, while the rosewood handle provides a secure, comfortable grip. Triple rivets reinforce the handle, adding to its robust build, and a brass guard protects your hand during use. A lanyard hole offers additional versatility for carry or attachment, reflecting the practical design elements of its historic inspiration. With an overall length of 17.5" and a substantial weight of 24.2 ounces, this knife is built to handle demanding tasks with ease.
Accompanying the blade is a premium leather scabbard with meticulous hand-stitching, offering both protection and style. The scabbard’s brass throat and chape match the knife’s guard, while the integrated belt frog allows for secure and convenient carry. This attention to detail makes the Rifleman’s Knife not only a functional tool but also a striking display piece for historical enthusiasts.
Whether you’re an avid collector, a historical re-enactor, or someone who appreciates a high-quality, full-sized fixed blade, the Cold Steel Rifleman’s Knife delivers in every aspect.
