1. What Makes a Cold Steel Tanto
Knife Such a Fantastic Knife

2. Knives come in thousands of variations, hundreds of crafting schools, and dozens
of blade types. Some styles of knife design have a crafting lineage going back
thousands of years. One such example is the Cold Steel Tanto Knife. Crafted
using modern rapid chilling techniques, the Tanto knives you can find at White
Mountain Knives are borne of an incredible legacy.
The Tanto style of blade was invented in ancient Japan, during the Heian period
of Japanese history. This blade was unique in that it was designed to be both
functional and attractive. Core to the design of the Tanto is the smoothly
tapered point, making it ideal for stabbing while still being useful as a slashing
tool. This characteristic means that Tanto knives have always excelled at being
able to poke through tougher materials.

3. Modern Cold Steel Tanto knives, likewise, can be used as puncturing tools.
Whether you’re cutting leather, cloth, cardboard, or rubber, a Tanto knife will
make the job quick and easy. For hunters, having a Tanto knife on hand could
mean the difference between getting a clean-cut pelt and a roughshod one.
While Tanto knives have come a long way since their roots in ancient Japan,
many of the core characteristics remain to this day. For example, it is very
rare to see a ridge from forging on the side of the blade, and they tend to still
be small, smooth blades with no serration. In addition, Tanto knives tend to
be fixed blade, meaning they are ideal for those who don’t mind carrying a
sheath. While the tendency of the Tanto to be small doesn’t make them the
strongest self-defense knife, there are a number of historical examples of
Tanto knives being used this way.

4. The modern Cold Steel Tanto Knife is considerably more durable and long-lasting
than the Tanto knives of bygone eras. By cryo-quenching, quality German
Stainless Steel, Cold Steel creates a durable knife with a beautiful edge. There is a
Cold Steel Tanto Knife for nearly every use, budget, and aesthetic style. From the
Cold Steel Lite line of Tanto knives, which are durable economy knives for light to
medium use, to the Cold Steel Recon Tanto Fixed Blade Knife SK-5, which is a
premium, all-black blade made with top-shelf SK-5 steel with Black Tuff-Ex Finish,
the Tanto style has remained a time-tested point style that works for many
buyers.
