Cold Steel Master Tanto 6in San Mai Tanto Fixed Blade Knife

The Cold Steel Master Tanto is a robust, precision-crafted fixed blade designed for those who demand peak performance from their tools. Featuring a 6-inch VG-10 San Mai stainless steel blade, this knife delivers unparalleled cutting, piercing, and slashing capabilities. With Cold Steel’s mastery of the tanto style—pioneered and refined over three decades—this blade outperforms competing designs, embodying an ideal balance of sharpness and durability. The blade’s satin finish on hollow-ground bevels and contrasting line-grain finish on the flats showcase Cold Steel's advanced grinding methods, resulting in a striking, functional look that stands apart in the field.

Cold Steel’s signature black Kraton handle on the Master Tanto is crafted for reliability under rigorous use. The flattened oval design ensures a secure, non-slip grip that resists rolling or twisting, even during intense applications. Kraton, an innovative, weather-resistant material developed by Cold Steel, is immune to cracking, rotting, or degrading over time, making it perfect for users facing unpredictable or extreme environments. This handle style was developed with tactical application in mind, providing optimal stability and control in all situations.

The knife’s solid steel, tapered pommel further enhances its tactical advantage. Originally designed by Cold Steel’s founder, Lynn Thompson, this pommel is engineered to concentrate force, amplifying the impact of each strike. Whether as a defensive tool or a survival asset, Master Tanto’s pommel allows you to deliver maximum power, making it highly effective in challenging scenarios where every strike counts.

With an overall length of 11.5 inches and a weight of 9.5 ounces, the Master Tanto is a formidable tool that’s built to last. It comes with a thick, durable Secure-Ex sheath, ensuring your knife is safely stowed and easily accessible. The sheath’s high-quality construction and design promise years of rugged service, allowing you to carry your Tanto with confidence, knowing it’s always ready for action.
