 Cold Steel Tanto Series Knives
Exhibiting an unequaled level of craftsmanship, the knives in the Tanto Series feature a lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and a line grain finish on the flat spine. These two finishes characterize our state of the art grinding technique and accentuate the Tanto’s unique appearance.
The Tanto: The knife that started the Cold Steel legend. It features a beautiful stainless steel guard and pommel and a virtually indestructible 6" blade.
The Master Tanto: Comparable to the original, except that its blade is San Mai III, making it approximately 25% stronger.
The Magnum Tanto II: Just two ounces heavier than the Tanto, the Magnum Tanto II provides a full 30% increase in cutting power. Combine that with the visual impact of a tsuba-style (sword) guard and you have perhaps the ideal Tanto. The Magnum Tanto II features a blade made from San Mai III.
The Magnum Tanto IX and XII: These knives were created in response to popular demand for a longer Tanto. They are available in 9" and 12" blade length in our exclusive San Mai III laminated steel.
All come with a high quality leather sheath. All handles are Kraton
