Cold Steel 12" Fixed Blade Knife – Heavy-Duty & Tactical Outdoor Tool

Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII Fixed Blade Knife – 12" VG-10 San Mai® Tanto

The Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII is a premium long-bladed fixed knife that showcases the legendary American Tanto design in its most formidable form. Engineered for professionals, collectors, survivalists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Magnum Tanto XII combines exceptional cutting power, outstanding durability, and premium Japanese laminated steel to create one of Cold Steel's most iconic fixed blades.

The impressive 12-inch Tanto blade is crafted from Japanese VG-10 San Mai® laminated steel, featuring a razor-sharp VG-10 stainless steel core sandwiched between two durable outer layers. This advanced construction provides outstanding edge retention, exceptional toughness, and superior corrosion resistance while maintaining remarkable cutting performance. Cold Steel's signature hollow-ground satin bevels and contrasting line-grain blade flats highlight the knife's distinctive geometry and showcase its premium craftsmanship.

With a sturdy 3/16-inch (approximately 4.8 mm) blade thickness, the Magnum Tanto XII delivers incredible strength for demanding cutting tasks while retaining excellent balance and control. The reinforced American Tanto point provides outstanding piercing capability and superior tip strength.

The ergonomic Kray-Ex™ handle features Cold Steel's signature flattened oval design, providing a secure, non-slip grip that resists twisting during heavy use. Resistant to moisture, weather, and impact, the handle remains comfortable in harsh environments. A solid tapered steel pommel serves as a durable striking surface while enhancing overall balance.

A heavy-duty Secure-Ex® sheath is included, providing secure retention and dependable protection for safe carry and storage.
