CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Cold Steel Warrior Series O Tanto is a no-nonsense blade designed for serious practitioners and collectors alike. Built with a 13.25-inch 1055 carbon steel blade and featuring a practical finish, this fixed blade delivers exceptional durability and cutting performance. The high-carbon steel construction ensures excellent edge retention and strength, making it ideal for rigorous training sessions and real-world applications.
The handle is crafted from genuine rayskin, wrapped with a traditional black braided cord for a secure and comfortable grip. Accentuated with a brass throat, menuki, and a cast iron tsuba, the handle showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail Cold Steel is known for. The full tang design adds to the overall balance and strength of the tanto, ensuring it performs reliably in high-pressure situations.
Measuring 19.25 inches overall and weighing 18.5 ounces, the Warrior Series O Tanto strikes the perfect balance between size and maneuverability. It includes a black lacquered wooden scabbard for secure storage and transport, combining functionality with traditional aesthetics.
Unlike Cold Steel’s Emperor Series, the Warrior Series is designed with practicality in mind. It retains the same superior 1060 steel heat treatment and sharpness while forgoing the more costly mirror polish. This practical satin finish not only reduces the price but also makes the blade more resilient during training and cutting exercises such as Tameshigiri. You can train, refine your techniques, and push this tanto to its limits without worrying about tarnishing its surface.
For martial artists, historical weapon enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a battle-ready blade without unnecessary frills, the Warrior Series O Tanto delivers exceptional value. Every detail has been carefully chosen to meet the demands of performance while keeping costs accessible. Cold Steel has once again proven that quality doesn’t need to come at an exorbitant price.
