Cold Steel Kobun Fixed Blade Knife 9.87 in Black Kraton Handle Plain

Cold Steel Kobun Fixed Blade Knife 9.87 in Black Kraton Handle Plain. It takes its namesake from the Japanese martial or underworld where the word “Kobun” means “soldier”. It’s a fitting name for a knife like the Cold Steel Kobun Blade which was effectively designed to be “a good soldier”. In profile it closely resembles our Master Tanto but it sports a thinner blade and supports its main function – to be a light weight boot knife. Like other Cold Steel Tantos it features the Tanto styled reinforced point. This contrasts sharply with most boot knives on the market today which are notorious for their paper thin points and are easily broken or bent. In contrast the point is highly resistant to bending or breaking because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade’s spine that runs almost to the very tip of the blade. The deeply checkered Kray-Ex handle is designed to offer minimum bulk with maximum grip. Its cross section was made as thin as possible (approximately 12 inches) then contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand. The Cold Steel Kobun Fixed Blade Knife comes complete with a Secure-Ex sheath ensuring safety and protection when not in use.
