Cold Steel 17TS Kobun Serrated Fixed Blade 5.5in Satin Tanto Knife

The Cold Steel Kobun Serrated Fixed Blade is a versatile, lightweight knife inspired by the Japanese term "Kobun," meaning soldier. This name reflects its purpose as a dependable tool, designed for those who demand reliability and performance under challenging conditions. Originally popular with military personnel, the Kobun is celebrated for its discreet profile, robust construction, and impressive cutting power, making it an ideal companion for tactical and everyday use.

The knife features a 5.5-inch serrated tanto blade made from AUS-8A stainless steel, renowned for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The blade’s satin finish enhances its durability while maintaining a sleek appearance. The tanto design excels in piercing tasks, while the serrated edge provides added versatility for cutting through tough materials like rope or fabric.

The Kobun’s handle is constructed from deeply checkered Kray-Ex, offering a secure, non-slip grip even in wet or high-stress situations. Its ergonomic shape ensures comfort during extended use, while the full tang construction adds stability and strength. A lanyard hole at the base of the handle provides additional carrying options, making the Kobun adaptable to various environments.

At just 4.4 ounces and 9.8 inches overall, the Kobun is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry without sacrificing performance. The included black Secure-Ex sheath keeps the knife secure and accessible, whether attached to a belt or stored in gear.
