    Yes I just bought it at a local knife store for $219. This knife is like having your cake and eating it too. For my use it's self defense because it checks all of the boxes for it's capabilities. Strong, excellent slicer and stabbed. It's fast and perfectly balanced. I can lay it on a table and it will rest on the hilt without any other part touching. The yakote where the blade changes direction to the point is great for effective snap cuts. The sheath will not dull your blade if you press upward towards the spine when removing or resheathing. This will cut 5" on Manila rope that is free hanging. It will bend 90 degrees and not snap. It will stab through a 55 gallon steel drum with no damage. The craftsmanship is over the moon
    Perfect and beautiful..Karla I totally agree with your assessment 👏. Well done !

    I drooled over them years ago when they had the tantos with brass. When these newer ones came out I grabbed a 6” right away. Beautiful knife. I recently bought the Outdoorsman as well and it has the same exact sheath as the Tanto. I rather had a leather sheath imho.

    Nice review! I have a Carbon V Recon Tanto that I bought back in the 90s. Great knife. Mine came with a Cordura sheath that I'm not so fond of. Been thinking about getting a kydex IWB sheath. FWIW, I really want to get one of their kukris.

    Cold Steel Tanto Point knives and tools are my favorites! I have a Recon Tanto in San Mai 3 (form Japan with a VG1 core), Voyager Large Tanto in AUS10A, SR1 Lite Tanto, Immortal (technically a Tanto), Tanto Machete, Katana Machete, and Tactical Katana Machete. I had a Kobun, but I sold it to a cousin. But I am buying a Voyager XL Tanto folder in AUS10A this week. Anyway beautiful knife and video!

    Whether I pick up a newer one or find a vintage Japan made tanto fixed, I really should have one of these in my collection…..vintage Cold Steel, SOG and 🙄the most expensive, Al Mar are just beautiful examples of Japanese production knives…and they’re a testament to the WAY things are done in Japan……ALWAYS the right way, with the proper intention….

  • @nobodysreview6137

    I like Cold Steel because of the XL Folders with Tri Ad lock. For fixed blades not so much because theres so many other options but that knife there is pretty sweet.

    • @Wildwestwrangler
      @Wildwestwrangler 2 роки тому

      For the money cold steel's fixed blades outperform most other companies!!! I do love their big folders as well!!! The rajah 2 is one of my favorites, as well as the tylite 6, and my edc is a recon 1 clip point

    • @Wildwestwrangler
      @Wildwestwrangler 2 роки тому

      Also love my marauder, and for similar money the competition for example would be something like the condor undertaker bowie, but the undertaker won't take near the abuse that the cold steel marauder will!!!

    @johnmutton799 2 роки тому +1

    I think this is the best model. And the knife is perfect too! Don't use the sheath it will ruin the knife, if you want it for a collection. The handle shape is great. I have the 3v tai-pan, that is wicked! For combat they should give them a g10 or micarta handle, it is simply harder.
