HS-959 Carbon Steel Cowboy Bull Cutter Knife – 6.5 Inch, Blade-Forward, Full Tang

Blade-Forward Design – Carbon Steel Bull Cutter at 6.5 Inches

The HS-959 carries the longest blade in this bull cutter series — 3.5 inches against a 3-inch handle. That extra blade length shifts the balance point forward, giving the knife more cutting reach and a stronger draw through material on each stroke. For ranch work where you need the blade to do the work, this proportion delivers.

Carbon steel, full tang, oil tempered to 58–60 HRC. Sharpened at 20 degrees. At 6.5 inches overall, it is the most capable cutter in the lineup for tasks that need reach.

Specifications

The Longest Blade in the Series

At 3.5 inches, the blade on the HS-959 is longer than any other model in this bull cutter lineup. A longer blade means more cutting surface, more reach on each stroke, and better performance on tasks that require drawing the edge through material rather than pressing it. For field dressing, ranch cutting, and general outdoor work where reach matters, this is the right choice.

Carbon Steel at 58–60 HRC

Carbon steel at this hardness takes a keen edge and holds it through sustained cutting work. The oil tempering process ensures the blade is tough as well as hard — it handles the demands of ranch and field use without chipping or rolling. When the edge eventually needs attention, carbon steel resharpens faster than most alloys on a simple whetstone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the blade longer than the handle on this model?
The 3.5-inch blade against a 3-inch handle shifts the balance forward, giving more cutting reach and draw on each stroke. It suits tasks where the blade needs to do the work rather than precision close cuts.

How does a longer blade affect field dressing performance?
A longer blade covers more surface area per stroke, making field dressing and ranch cutting faster and more efficient than a shorter blade on the same tasks.

Is carbon steel appropriate for outdoor use in wet conditions?
Yes, with basic care. Wipe the blade dry after use and apply a light oil coat. Carbon steel performs reliably outdoors and develops a natural patina over time with regular use.

Does it come with a sheath?
Yes. A custom original leather sheath and a sharpener are included with every order.
