The Master Tanto features a deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground blade bevels and a contrasting line grain finish on the blade flats. This technique highlights our state-of-the-art grinding methods and emphasizes the Tanto's unique appearance. The Master Tanto comes with a VG-10 San Mai steel blade and the famous flattened oval Kraton handle. The oval shape provides a solid grip and resists rolling or twisting in the hand under hard use. Kraton is an unparalleled space-age material that won't crack or rot and is immune to the ravages of bad weather. The tapered, solid steel pommel is 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. Each Master Tanto knife is supplied with a Secure-Ex sheath to protect the blade and allow you to wear it safely and securely. ## Features - SUPERIOR BLADE - The Master Tanto features a VG-10 San Mai steel blade with a deep lustrous satin finish on the hollow ground bevels and a contrasting line grain finish on the flats, highlighting state-of-the-art grinding methods and enhancing appearance - DURABLE HANDLE - Equipped with a flattened oval Kraton handle, the Master Tanto offers a solid grip that resists rolling or twisting during hard use; Kraton is a resilient space-age material that won't crack, rot, or succumb to adverse weather conditions - ROBUST CONSTRUCTION - The tapered, solid steel pommel is designed to concentrate the full force of a crushing blow in a small area, making even moderately powerful strikes remarkably effective, enhancing its utility as a combat tool - PROTECTIVE SHEATH - Each Master Tanto comes with a Secure-Ex sheath, ensuring blade protection and safe, secure carry on your side; This feature ensures that your blade is always within reach, ready to defend you and your loved ones at a moment's notice - SPECIFICATIONS - Weight: 9.5 oz (269.3 g); Blade Thickness: 5 mm; Blade Length: 6"; Blade Steel: VG-10 San Mai; Handle Length/Material: 5.5" Kray-Ex; Overall Length: 11.5"; Knife Type: Fixed; Blade Shape: Tanto Point; Additional Features: Secure-Ex Sheath ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BQD48HG | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #108,954 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #203 in Fixed Blade Hunting Knives | | Blade Edge | Hollow | | Blade Length | 6 Inches | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Blade Shape | Tanto Point | | Blade Type | Tanto | | Brand Name | Cold Steel | | Color | Master Tanto | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (377) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00705442018049 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Material | Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) | | Included Components | Sheath | | Is Product Cordless | Yes | | Item Length | 11.5 Inches | | Item Shape | Rectangular | | Item Type Name | FIXED KNIFE | | Manufacturer | Cold Steel | | Model Name | Master Tanto 6" VG-10 San Mai Razor-Sharp Blade 5.5" Kray-Ex Handle Military Tactical Fixed Blade Knife | | Model Number | 35AB | | Part Number | 35AB | | Power Source | hand_powered | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash | | Recommended Uses For Product | Camping | | Reusability | Reusable | | Size | One Size | | Special Features | Fixed Blade | | Style | San Mai | | Theme | Military | | UPC | 705442018049 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Knives & Blades: We stand behind our products 100%.

Yes, 40 years ago. It was made in Japan. **Q: Any of you have a sheathing issue with the tanto ii? i had to send mine back, as it would not come out of the sheath.** A: Yes, some customers have issues with excessive OR a complete lack of retention using Secure-Ex sheaths supplied with both the Cold Steel Master Tanto and the Cold Steel Outdoorsman fixed blade knives. I suspect it's due to Cold Steel using the identical sheath for both knives. Take a look at any online catalog images for the Outdoorsman and you'll clearly see the Secure-Ex sheath is formed with an "American Tanto" point - despite the Outdoorsman being technically closer to resembling a trailing point. Both have 6" blades but are not the same profile at all. This (cost saving?) commonality means the Master Tanto may be excessively difficult to draw safely and the Outdoorsman will be flopping loose (requiring mandatory fastening of the retention strap). As for how to remove the Master Tanto without struggling or flailing about, forget putting pressure on the grooved "thumb ramp" like you'd expect to. Instead, flip the sheath upside down so the finger guard of the knife is visible. Using your fingers, apply outward pressure to the open lip of the sheath until the knife can be removed or drops out of its own weight - but be careful, as the sharpened edge will be facing you! My own recently purchased "tight as hell" Master Tanto slid out easily this way. The solution to both a too loose Outdoorsman and a too tight Master Tanto is to get an inexpensive replacement sheath made for the Buck Special knife. These can be found in both leather and nylon versions, and fit either Cold Steel knife very, very well, and forever fixes the too tight and too loose issues. And, if it matters to you, both styles of Buck 119 sheaths eliminate the "battle rattle" Secure-Ex character as well. **Q: How should the knife be sharpened?** A: A knife of this caliber requires a professional to sharpen. My sincere suggestion is to make arrangements with Cold Steel for this task. I believe this is free, but verify. **Q: Is this product 3V or VG-10?** A: VG 10/.....I did not like the sheath. Knife is great. Remember, the San Mai steel is a "sandwich type" steel. Harder on the outside and softer on the inside......... ## Frequently Bought Together - Cold Steel Master Tanto 6" VG-10 San Mai Razor-Sharp Blade 5.5" Kray-Ex Handle Military Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel Kyoto 3.25" Durable Compact 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Tanto Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3 3/8" Textured Kray-Ex Handle, Sheath Included - COLD STEEL Recon Tanto 7" SK-5 Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Kray-Ex Handle Military Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/70911824-master-tanto-6-vg-10-san-mai-razor-sharp-blade](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/70911824-master-tanto-6-vg-10-san-mai-razor-sharp-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-07-05*
