This guide details the failure mechanism of the Cold Steel Pocket Bushman's Ram Safe lock, as analyzed by nutnfancy. It explains how over-extension during rapid opening can cause the internal compression spring to kink, rendering the knife inoperable. The analysis highlights a critical design flaw that compromises field reliability, despite the knife's other positive attributes like its blade steel and carry profile.

This video reviews the Benchmade CSK II fixed blade knife, initially suggesting its suitability for light-duty survival and combat due to its lightweight design and 1095 steel blade. However, an update from December 2008 reveals the knife broke under light limb-stripping in cold, snowy conditions. The reviewer now strongly advises against using it for survival situations, citing its failure under minimal stress. The knife is described as serviceable for defensive/offensive purposes for deploying soldiers, with a comfortable Kraton handle and a MOLLE-capable leather sheath. Despite its initial perceived capabilities, the catastrophic failure leads to a drastically revised "Nutnfancy Likeability Scale" score of 1 out of 10.
