I think that's a Cold Steel, if I'm not mistaken ...
Yes, looks like a Cold Steel Trail Master.
OP
Are there Grizzly bears in North Carolina? Who knew? You heard it here first!
One time on a Ground Grizz hunt in MD one took two hits in it's melon with my 223.....it was a tad over 300 steps.....when I got there that Ground Grizz was half way into it's den motionless.....I picked it up by the hind legs to pull it out and that sucker started growling and moving. I dropped it and it came after me popping it's jaws with what was left of it's melon.....held it down under my boot and finished it with a SOG Trident (Cheap EDC)......with Ground Grizz you just gotta stand your ground no matter how ferocious they are

The Griz's we have here in NC are of a weird type,,! They thrive in downtown Trasheville,, and have all sorts of appearances. But they are easily identified by their behavior.
Maryland Ground Griz are TOUGH! I hit one four times (watched it buck with each hit). About 150 yards with my .222 and it somehow managed to make it back to it's hole in the ground.One time on a Ground Grizz hunt in MD one took two hits in it's melon with my 223.....it was a tad over 300 steps.....when I got there that Ground Grizz was half way into it's den motionless.....I picked it up by the hind legs to pull it out and that sucker started growling and moving.

Yep they can be tough little buggers. I had permission to hunt deer, dove, turkey and small game on a lot of farms in Carroll and Frederick counties. We would always offer the farmers our help with chores in exchange. Most of them said the biggest help to them would be shooting as many groundhogs as we could. They did a ton of damage to pastures and equipment. It wasn't long before it became a hobby and I had rifles built just for long range varmint hunting. Some of the farmers wanted us to kill off the fox...and that turned into another hobby/passion and eventually predator tournaments. In fact at one time my buddy and I held the largest tournament in MD. We started Predator Hunters Of Maryland. Which was shut down by the State after one of our weigh ins/awards banquet was infiltrated by liberal nut cases.
Anyway, yes they can make it back to their dens often. Usually when pushing lighter bullets a bit past their range. My youngest Son enjoyed chasing them down. He loved running to their holes and pulling them out. Luckily he was never bit.

I have mentioned before but it does not hurt to repeat. When in Griz country, take a friend with one leg shorter than the other or other speed reducing impediment. Failing that, carry a bucket of KFC. See Griz, toss bucket. No bruin can resist those eleven herbs and spices. I think they prefer Extra Crispy!

Perhaps this would be enough for griz. CZ Safari 550 in caliber 505 gibbs.
That sucker would kill on one end and wound on the other.
People have experimented with b,a.r., and garand, and ar plafforms in 458 win mag. Havent yet heard a try on the fnar heavy or the s.c.a.r.
Once you have "enough" fps and fpe, then i would prefer penetration over sheer knockdownability, like 350 or 358 magnumbs, with a gnarlytooth monocopper. Bruinboy legendarily has a hella meplat for a forehead
