Cold SteelTanto Lite Durable Lightweight German 4116 Stainless Steel 6" Fixed Blade Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, Non-Slip Kray-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath

Gorgeous. Nice weight. Nice steel. Decent grinds, not perfect. Amazing value.It's worth buying a new sheath for.

I am very pleased with this knife. It came quickly and is very sharp. If you are reading reviews you may have noted a lot of complaints about the included sheath.About the sheath: Once you hold the blade in your hand it becomes very apparent that the blade was initially designed to be a diving knife. As a diving knife and because of basic economics, the sheath needed to be plastic with a positive lock (retention) system. The blade locks into the sheath very snugly and will not fall out of the sheath, I turned it upside down and shook it for a few minutes; it did not come even slightly loose. The sheath does have a hole in the bottom to prevent hydro-locking.As a diving knife the blade has ONE flaw. It does not have a hole in the hilt to allow for a lanyard, so it you drop it you will be looking for it.For my purposes this knife is almost perfect. Because of the 4116 steel, It will hold an edge for a very long time. The blade is well balanced for most common uses but because it is blade heavy it would not be a good throwing knife (but it’s not designed to be throwen).

Nice and sharp

The media could not be loaded. Bought this on a whim and I was pleased with it. Beauty of a knife to toss in with my go bag. Only real complaint is the sheath. It holds the knife well and all, but feels bulky and the clip is very flimsy as it was all molded as one piece. I'll replace someday with a leather one.

I am a part-time Ninja and I recently lost my original Japanese Tanto which I won in a fight with Sho Kosugi back in the 80's If I had more room, I would tell the story in detail. Suffice it to say, he put up a good fight, but in the end, he was more actor than Ninja... That knife saw me through many duels, trips to the Octagon, etc. I am ashamed to say I lost it, or my wife hid it because she wants me to get out of the lifestyle. Just like Sho Kosugi, old Ninjas never quit, they are eventually put down by a better fighter.Now Tanto's like that do not become available everyday. This one was made by Hattori Hanzo, a legendary blade maker and divine general in the Tokugawa Clan during the 16th Century. Needless to say, this would be a hard blade to replace. Being the practical Ninja that I am, I went to Amazon.com and found this Tanto for an amazing price. I know what you are thinking, how could such an exceptional fighter go from using a knife, made by a legendary blade maker, that he won in a fight against the most accomplished Ninja of recent times? Because in the end this knife still does stabby stabby just like the one I lost. Truly any object in the hands of a trained master is a deadly weapon, if not the very hands that hold it.

Great price, ergonomic, razor sharp. Nothing fancy, sheath is nothing special. However, you can’t beat the quality is great Krupp 4116 stainless steel.

What can I say, it’s what you’d expect from a reputable company like ColdSteel. Nice fit & finish, plus a razor sharp edge. I can’t find anything I don’t like about it. The knife is good to go. The shipping speed however, left a lot to be desired. It took 5 weeks to receive this from the date of order. That’s very unusual for something shipped directly from Amazon. Other than that, solid knife for the money.

As always, Cold Steel has made another wonderful knife. This is not advertised as a diving knife but that's exactly what it is. It has a positive locking plastic sheath with a drainage hole to prevent vacuum lock. The knife comes razor sharp from the factory, but that's Cold Steel knives for you. The handle is totally nonslip, only missing a lanyard hole but the handle has a spot that one can be added. I'm completely pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend if you're in the market for a great diving knife.
