SHOP CASE KNIVESImagine a tool so light you forget it’s there, yet so capable it earns immediate respect the moment it’s drawn. The Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie was built for those quiet moments when preparation matters most—when confidence comes from knowing you’re ready, even if no one else knows you’re carrying. Inspired by the legacy of the American Bowie blade and refined for modern everyday carry, this compact fixed blade delivers serious cutting authority in a profile designed to disappear until it’s needed. It’s not about flash or excess. It’s about readiness, discipline, and trust in your gear.
Cold Steel engineered the Mini Tac Bowie to answer a simple but demanding challenge: how do you carry the utility and strength of a field knife without the bulk of a belt-mounted blade? The answer lies in its ultra-slim design, full tang construction, and secure, locked-in grip. Built as a true “just in case” tool, this knife thrives in harsh environments, resists the elements, and excels at precision work and decisive cuts. Whether you’re moving through the outdoors or navigating daily life, it’s a blade that stays out of the way and steps up instantly when called upon.
The Mini Tac Bowie features a 3.62-inch clip point Bowie blade crafted from high-performance AUS-8A stainless steel, finished in a clean satin that balances corrosion resistance with easy maintenance. The blade’s geometry delivers excellent piercing capability while maintaining strong slicing performance. With an overall length of 6.875 inches and a blade thickness of 0.1 inches, it strikes an ideal balance between strength and agility.
The handle is made from Griv-Ex with a faux G-10 texture that provides exceptional traction, even in wet or compromised conditions. A pronounced finger choil acts as a sub-hilt, helping prevent your hand from sliding forward and ensuring confident control. At just 2.6 ounces, the Mini Tac Bowie is exceptionally lightweight, making it ideal for neck carry using the included Secure-Ex sheath and steel bead lanyard. Ambidextrous and weatherproof, it’s a dependable fixed blade you can trust anywhere.
The Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie is made for minimalists who won’t compromise, outdoor enthusiasts who value reliable backups, commuters who prefer fixed-blade confidence, and professionals who demand fast access under pressure.
