Cold Steel CS17TS Kobun 5.50″ Fixed Tanto Serrated AUS-8A SS Blade/Black Checkered Kray-Ex Handle Includes Sheath

Description

The Cold Steel Kobun features a 5.50" AUS-8A stainless blade, tanto, serrated edge, black finish.

A serrated edge bites into rope, webbing and fibrous material far better than a plain edge, and stays aggressive long after a plain edge has dulled. Stainless scales are durable and easy to clean, though heavier than polymer.

A fixed blade of this size suits hunting, camp and outdoor work where strength matters more than pocketability – there is no pivot to fail and it cleans easily.

Carry laws are set locally as well as by state, and a 5.5" blade is legal to carry in many places and not in others – check your state and city rules before you carry it. Knives ship directly to you with no FFL transfer and no background check, unlike a firearm.

The Cold Steel Kobun is a lightweight knife that takes its name from the Japanese underworld, where the word "Kobun" is sometimes used as an indicator of rank that suggests the word "soldier in" or one who takes orders from his "Oyabun" or boss. Proven to be popular with the Military, where it's prized for its light weight and discreet profile as much as its durability and cutting potential. The Kobun features Cold Steels iconic reinforced "American Tanto" point, making it highly resistant to bending or breaking because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade's spine (which runs almost to the very tip of the blade). Despite its thin profile, the Kobun's deeply checkered Kray-Ex handle is designed to offer maximum grip and is contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand.
