Review: Best. Neck. Knife! - I wasn't sure what to expect when I purchased this knife, especially given the price. It received much love, so it seems that others like it, too. Also, the clip point was the least expensive version and the most functional for my needs, so it seemed ideal. On paper, it has excellent specs - 8cr steel is hands down the most cost-effective trade-off between strength, edge retention, toughness, and cost. At 2.5mm with a full-length tang, it offers excellent overall strength. The Cold Steel Griv-Ex scales are a plus, and since they're removable, you could upgrade with a set of custom scales. The blade arrived in perfect condition - properly cut and formed and razor sharp - and had no manufacturing issues, which are so common in less expensive knives. It comes with a Cold Steel Secure-EX sheath that is very secure, and a metal-bead neck chain that I swapped out for paracord (personal preference). The bead chain is serviceable but cold! The sheath itself is tactical, so you could cross-lash it for scout-carry. That said, it is a smaller sheath, so it may be too small for belt carry. YMMV! Ultimately, my final view on a knife is whether I would replace it if I lost it. For this knife, it's a resounding YES!
Review: Great knife - This is a great knife for the price. Looks and feels great. I would definitely buy this again. Small and usable just what I was looking for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Mighty Mini with a Bad Attitude
*by C***Z on February 7, 2025*

The Cold Steel Mini Tac Bowie is like the compact muscle car of fixed blades—small, aggressive, and built to handle way more than you’d expect. The 3-5/8" 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is razor-sharp, tough, and shaped like it’s ready to throw down. Whether you’re out in the woods, on the job, or just feeling extra tactical while cutting open mail, this blade gets it done. The Griv-Ex handle is lightweight and grippy, but it’s also not the beefiest—if you have big hands, expect a bit of a squeeze. That said, the Secure-Ex sheath is solid, holds the knife tight, and lets you carry this little beast without worrying about it slipping loose. Final Verdict: The Mini Tac Bowie is light, sharp, and mean—a great backup blade or EDC fixed blade option. 8.5/10—small but ready for a fight!
