Cold Steel San Mai Master Tanto 6" Fixed Blade – Durable & Razor Sharp

Cold Steel Master Tanto Fixed Blade Knife – 6" VG-10 San Mai® American Tanto

The Cold Steel Master Tanto is a premium fixed blade that exemplifies the legendary American Tanto design pioneered by Cold Steel. Built for tactical professionals, collectors, survivalists, and outdoor enthusiasts, the Master Tanto combines exceptional strength, premium Japanese laminated steel, and Cold Steel's renowned craftsmanship to deliver outstanding cutting and piercing performance in the toughest environments.

The 6-inch American Tanto blade is precision crafted from Japanese VG-10 San Mai® laminated steel, featuring a razor-sharp VG-10 stainless steel core bonded between two tough outer layers. This premium steel construction offers exceptional edge retention, superior toughness, and excellent corrosion resistance. Cold Steel's signature deep satin hollow-ground bevels paired with contrasting line-grain blade flats highlight the blade's distinctive geometry while maximizing cutting performance.

With a durable 3/16-inch blade thickness, the Master Tanto delivers outstanding rigidity and strength for heavy-duty cutting tasks. The reinforced American Tanto point is engineered for exceptional tip durability and precise piercing capability.

The ergonomic Kray-Ex™ handle features Cold Steel's signature flattened oval profile, providing a secure, non-slip grip that resists twisting during prolonged use. Resistant to moisture, weather, and impact, the handle remains comfortable and dependable in harsh field conditions. A solid tapered steel pommel enhances balance while serving as a practical striking surface when needed.

A rugged Secure-Ex® sheath securely retains the knife while providing convenient carry for tactical operations, camping, bushcraft, hunting, and survival applications.
