Description
No one in the knife industry today possesses as much knowledge about the Tanto as Cold Steel. Cold Steel not only pioneered but also popularized this knife style in the early 1980s. Over the past 30 years, we have invested heavily in educating the public about the numerous advantages of the Tanto through advertising and live or recorded demonstrations. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every Tanto we produce, surpassing any other factory or custom knifemaker in quality and performance. Each Cold Steel Tanto features a deep, lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels, complemented by a contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats, showcasing our advanced grinding techniques and the distinctive appearance of our Tanto knives. The handles are crafted with our patented flattened oval Kraton® design, ensuring a secure grip that resists rolling or twisting during strenuous use. Kraton® is a durable material that remains impervious to cracking, rotting, and adverse weather conditions, setting another Cold Steel standard in knife innovation. Additionally, our Tantos are equipped with a tapered, solid steel pommel, adding to their robust features. For those in our San Mai® series, they include a thick, high-quality Secure-Ex™ sheath, designed to endure rigorous conditions while keeping your Tanto accessible and ready for action over many years.
