Pocket Bushman

The new Pocket Bushman is small enough to carry it with you everywhere you go.

True, it may be physically impossible for any folding knife to ever match the strength and rigidity of a fixed blade. However, the Pocket Bushman, with its new lock, is close to hitting the mark. The blade is long and wide with a short, sharp, clip point for usefulness and versatility. In addition it is hollow ground from top to bottom with just enough belly to be useful for all sorts of tasks.

The handle is made from one piece of steel. A single sheet of stainless steel is folded in half to form a housing for the closed blade, as well as supplying the enormous strength and rigidity required to compliment the Ram Safe lock. This lock features a unique, self adjusting ram that moves forward as the knife is opened and wedges itself tightly between the tang cut away we call the "shelf" and the "U" shaped "roof" of the handle. It´s powered by a strong compression spring that urges the ram forward and makes for an incredibly strong lock up.

Positive pressure on the lock generated by heavy cutting or chopping strokes is distributed through the blade, then the blade tang shoulder and finally directly into the mono block handle that acts like a giant unbreakable stop pin.

Negative pressure from sticking, digging or prying with the point is directed in a different direction through the blade to the blade tang shelf and then to the ram which is squeezed between the shelf and the "U" shaped roof of the handle.
