The knife looks fantastic, a true work of art. I haven't tested the blade on anything hard yet, but if the quality matches the appearance, it will be worth every penny spent. I won't hesitate to write more once I try the knife in the field.

Cold Steel Magnum Tanto II CPM 3V Knife
A tactical knife designed with a Full Tang build, integrating the capabilities of both a survival and combat knife. Featuring a Tanto-style blade forged from CPM-3V powder steel, recognized for exceptional wear resistance. The blade surface is finished with a black DLC coating. Equipped with a black handle crafted from Kray‑Ex material, offering a non-slip texture for secure grip. Included in the set is a sheath utilizing the Secure‑Ex system, enabling easy attachment to a belt or other tactical equipment.
CPM-3V powder steel
Forged from CPM-3V powder steel, the blade is not stainless but offers commendable corrosion resistance. Undergoing heat treatment, the blade reaches a hardness of 58-61 HRC, providing an optimal combination of toughness, longevity, and ease of sharpening.
Tanto-profiled blade with DLC coating
Featuring a Tanto profile, the blade measures 191 mm in length and 5 mm in thickness. The design incorporates a plain cutting edge, flat-ground for enhanced performance, and a reinforced tip that extends the full thickness of the spine nearly to the tip, maximizing structural integrity. Such craftsmanship delivers exceptional durability, making the knife suited for rigorous applications. Finished with a black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating, the blade boasts superior protection against scratching, enhanced corrosion resistance, and reduced reflectivity.
Kray-Ex grip with non-slip texture
Equipped with a handle in black crafted from Kray-Ex material, this knife boasts deep texturing for a reliable grip, even when hands are wet or covered in debris. Featuring a Full Tang construction, the tang extends the entire length of the handle and is just slightly slimmer than the handle itself. A disc-shaped cross guard serves to keep fingers from sliding onto the blade, while the handle is capped with a steel pommel that functions as a glass breaker or an improvised tool in the field. A large hole at the end of the handle allows for the attachment of a safety lanyard or strap.
Secure-Ex system sheath
The sheath supplied with the knife, utilizing the Secure-Ex system, is crafted from a lightweight yet durable material engineered to withstand demanding weather conditions. A precision-molded inlet and a snap-fastened loop provide secure retention, preventing the knife from accidentally coming loose. The loop enables the sheath to be easily attached to a belt, while multiple holes and eyelets offer versatile options for mounting in various positions on belts or other gear.

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
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.
CPM 3V
CPM 3V is a premium powder tool steel produced by Crucible Industries, known for its high resistance to impact, fracture, and wear. It contains 0.8% carbon, 7.5% chromium, and additions of molybdenum (1.3%), vanadium (2.75%), manganese (up to 1%), and silicon (up to 1%) additives, which improve wear resistance and structural stability. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, providing a balance between strength, durability, and ease of sharpening. Although CPM 3V is not stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance and is widely used in the manufacture of military, survival, and hunting knives. It is suitable for intensive use in harsh conditions, combining high wear resistance, better ductility, and longer edge retention compared to other tool steels.
DLC - Diamond-Like Carbon
DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) is a modern protective coating in which a thin layer of amorphous carbon with a structure similar to diamond is applied to steel. It increases the hardness and abrasion resistance of the blade, protects against corrosion, and reduces friction during cutting. The characteristic matte shade of black or anthracite gives the knife a tactical look and eliminates light reflections, which is important in military and outdoor applications. Thanks to its high scratch resistance, the blade retains its aesthetics and functional properties for longer, which is why the DLC finish is widely used in EDC, field, and tactical knives.
