The Cold Steel Trail Master represents the culmination of years of development, field testing and modification. Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, it was devised with the aim of becoming the best all-purpose Bowie Knife in the world. From its broad clip point and hand honed, razor sharp blade to its extra sturdy non-slip handle, the Trail Master is built to perform! Popular with hunters and survival experts as well as with military personnel who appreciate a larger fixed blade that can serve multiple roles in hard conditions.

The Trail Master balances approximately 3/4″ in front of the guard for a slightly blade-heavy feel that is ideal for delivering heavy chopping and slashing strokes. The Trail Master’s Kray-Ex handle is 5″ long and deeply checkered for a non-slip, shock-absorbing grip. What’s more, its contoured cross-section helps prevent the knife from shifting or turning in the hand when striking full power blows. The double guard is very sturdy and rigidly fixed into place. It is long enough to keep fingers off the blade, yet short enough to avoid being tangled in clothing or equipment when the Trail Master is drawn.
