Cold Steel Kobun Fixed 5.5" Tanto Blade Boot Knife – Secure-Ex Sheath

Cold Steel Kobun Fixed Blade Boot Knife – 5.5" Japanese AUS-8A American Tanto

The Cold Steel Kobun is a lightweight, slim-profile fixed blade designed for everyday carry, outdoor utility, and field use. Inspired by the Japanese word "Kobun," meaning soldier, this trusted fixed blade has become a favorite among military personnel, law enforcement officers, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a compact yet exceptionally capable knife.

The 5.5-inch American Tanto blade is crafted from premium Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel, providing an outstanding balance of edge retention, toughness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. Cold Steel's signature reinforced Tanto point is supported by the full thickness of the blade's spine, creating exceptional tip strength and resistance to bending or breaking while maintaining excellent piercing performance.

Despite its slim profile, the deeply checkered Kray-Ex™ handle delivers outstanding grip security and comfort. Ergonomically contoured to resist twisting or shifting during demanding use, the weather-resistant handle provides confident control in wet, cold, or adverse conditions while keeping overall weight to just 4.4 ounces.

A durable Secure-Ex® sheath is included for secure retention and comfortable carry on a belt, pack, or gear, making the Kobun an excellent companion for camping, hiking, bushcraft, survival kits, and everyday outdoor use.
