Cold Steel Master Tanto & Magnum Tanto

There isn’t anyone working in the knife industry today that knows more about the Tanto than Cold Steel. It was, after all, our company President Lynn C Thompson who invented, developed, refined and popularized the “American Tanto“ in the early 1980’s. We have spent well over a million dollars showcasing the American Tanto’s many advantages, through advertising, videotaped proof and live demonstrations at shows and events. The Magnum and Master Tantos have been a consistent and highly popular inclusion in the Cold Steel line up for over 30 years and are perhaps the ultimate high-end, high-performance fighting Tantos. Much sought after and highly collectable, these battle ready knives are sure to be the pride of any collection. Featuring all of the attributes of Lynns signature “American Tanto“ design, these beautiful knives have a deep and lustrous satin finish that further accentuates the hollow ground blade bevels and contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats. This technique highlights our state of the art grinding methods and further emphasizes the Cold Steel Tanto’s unique appearance and high quality finish. These Tantos also feature Lynns famous flattened oval handles. These handles not only provide a solid grip (preventing the knife from rolling or twisting in the hand under hard use), but their Kray-Ex construction makes them incredibly durable and almost impervious to the elements Their tapered, solid steel pommels are designed to concentrate the full force of a crushing blow in a small area so that even a moderately powerful blow can be remarkably effective in disarming or otherwise incapacitating an attacker. Each Tanto comes with a high quality black leather sheath that is sure to give years of hard service and to enable you to keep it by your side, ready for action in a flash! LINK:
