Cold Steel Kobun AUS8A Knife

A tactical knife equipped with a Tanto profile blade and a satin finish, crafted from AUS-8A stainless steel acclaimed for exceptional corrosion resistance. Merging the attributes of a survival knife with those of a combat knife, the model offers versatile performance. Thanks to its reinforced Full Tang construction, durability is significantly enhanced. A black Kray-Ex handle with an anti-slip surface ensures a reliable and secure grip. The name draws inspiration from Japanese heritage, where "Kobun" denotes the role of a warrior or soldier. A Secure-Ex sheath comes included, allowing for convenient attachment to a belt or gear.

Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel

Forged from AUS-8A stainless steel sourced from Japan, the blade delivers an optimal blend of corrosion resistance and edge retention. Precision heat treatment enables the blade to achieve a hardness rating of 58-60 HRC.

Satin Tanto profile blade

Featuring a Tanto profile, the blade measures 139.7 mm in length and 3.5 mm in thickness. A satin finish delivers a refined, semi-matte look that effectively minimizes undesirable glare. A smooth edge resulting from a hollow grind ensures clean, precise cuts. The robust, reinforced tip—typical of the Tanto style—with the spine's full thickness nearly reaching the very point, offers exceptional durability and resistance. The knife excels when tackling tough and demanding tasks.

Kray-Ex handle with anti-slip texture

The black handle crafted from Kray-Ex material features deep texturing, ensuring a firm grip even when hands are wet or dirty. Thanks to the Full Tang construction—where the tang of the blade stretches the entire length of the handle and remains only slightly narrower than the handle itself—exceptional strength and stability are guaranteed. A double-sided short cross guard effectively shields the hand from sliding onto the blade during use. At the end of the handle, a hole allows for easy attachment of a lanyard or wrist strap.

sheath with Secure-Ex system clip

Supplied with a sheath utilizing the Secure-Ex system, the knife benefits from a lightweight yet rugged construction that withstands challenging weather conditions. A precisely fitted inlet ensures the blade remains firmly in place, significantly reducing the chance of accidental release. The sheath features a metal clip for swift belt attachment, while multiple holes and pass-throughs offer versatile mounting options on various pieces of equipment, allowing customization of the carrying method according to individual user preference.

Secure-Ex feature
Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
Kray-Ex feature
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
AUS-8A feature
AUS-8A
AUS-8A is a Japanese stainless steel, equivalent to 440B steel, characterized by a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (0.7-0.75%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13-14.5%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Vanadium additives (up to 0.26%) improve the homogeneity of the steel's crystal structure and increase the blade's resistance to abrasion. The steel also contains molybdenum (0.1-0.3%), manganese (0.5%), silicon (0.4-1%), and nickel (0.49%). After proper heat treatment, AUS-8 steel achieves a hardness of 58-60 HRC, making it a solid material with good cutting properties and durability. The steel is widely used in mid-range knives, mainly produced in Japan and Taiwan, such as the popular Ontario RAT 1.
Satin feature
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.

    I bought this knife as a second one because it's worth having such a gem in a few places; it is very sharp and made of very good steel (+ "serration" - great). Beautiful design and handy handle.

    Beautifully made knife, sharp, flat. Perfect for everyday use. A must-have for anyone who likes this type of blade. I recommend it. It’s really worth buying.

    Very sharp and versatile (the blade has a saw). When ordering, I wondered if it would be too small, but it turned out the blade is long enough to be useful, while the knife itself is handy – it doesn't restrict freedom of movement. And that classic Japanese design!

    A beautiful knife whose exquisite simplicity of form shows its ties to Japanese culture. Light, sleek, sharp, functional, suitable for everything. Intended for my son focused on a military path, but I'm tempted to buy one for myself as well.

    A very decent knife. The price and the Japanese-style design are a plus. The steel in this price range is very good. The downside is sharpening those narrow serrations. You really have to work at it.

    Made of high-quality steel, it guarantees high quality, holds its sharpness very well, and can serve as a hatchet in the forest. It is light yet made of very durable material. I highly recommend it to all survival enthusiasts; it's perfect for building a shelter and defending yourself from an unknown attacker or a large animal. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a sense of security and solo outings in the woods. A knife well worth recommending. Krzysztof W.

    The knife is absolutely phenomenal, love at first sight. It's light and flat. Arrives properly sharpened. For people with large hands, it might be a little uncomfortable, but for me, it's perfect. The handle sticks to your hand, which can actually cause it to collect dirt.
