    The gold standard for fighting fixed blades by which all fixed blades are measured. Took the throne in the 20th century and has yet to be defeated. The wheel. Sliced bread. The Cold Steel Master Tanto.

      Bro you ain't lying. It feels so good in the hand. The balance, the proper blade heft, the grip the kraton gives. It feels like one hit from it will leave an attackers arm or hand dangling off the bone.

    Agreed. Sheaths and clips are just as important as blade geometry. What good is a great knife with a bad sheath. Great knife. Great review!

    Hi Tomas, if you can, wrap some para cord through the sheath to give it some extra support.
    I have the Magnum Tanto, i love it but my sheath is very strong, the openings aren't as large.
    I have para cord running through mine. 😋

    What do you prefer? The crkt hz6 or this? I know this is way more robust but the hz6 is designed better imo for self defense.

    • @tacticaltavern
      @tacticaltavern  Рік тому

      Oooh great question
      I love the comfort and versatility of the cold steel
      But if I only needed a designated tool for quickly taking out a threat the HZ6 is the way to go
      Overall Master tanto is more robust but Hz6 is a better martial blade
      I hope that helps 😅

  • @GreenKnight1979
    @GreenKnight1979 Рік тому +1

    A classic, but I always felt the pommel should have been more rounded so one could stab with the thumb on it, or thrust with the pommel in the palm of the hand, as practiced in Japanese martial arts. Great at randomly stabbing car hoods though.

  • @cabbageman606
    @cabbageman606 Рік тому

    Cold steels secure-ex sheaths apparently dull the edges because the compound its made of has glass in it. I probably would have gotten one if I hadn't seen tens of threads about their sheaths. It doesn't seem like cold steel cares about these complaints at all.

    • @tacticaltavern

      10/10 highly recommend - the blade rocks

      I always try to pull knives out of them so that the edge doesn't grind on it. Never had any noticeable dulling that way.
