Cold Steel Magnum Tanto II VG-10 San Mai Fixed Blade Knife
A tactical knife featuring a Full Tang construction, merging the advantages of both survival and combat knives. Outfitted with a Tanto-style blade crafted from VG-10 San Mai laminated steel, guaranteeing exceptional resistance to corrosion and edge wear. The blade has a satin-polished finish. The black handle is made from Kray-Ex material, providing a secure, non-slip grip. Supplied with a sheath utilizing the Secure-Ex system for easy and versatile attachment to a belt or other gear.
San Mai laminated steel
Forged from laminated San Mai stainless steel engineered by Cold Steel, the blade offers excellent edge retention, superior flexibility, and exceptional corrosion resistance thanks to its triple-layered construction. The core consists of VG-10 steel, which, after precise heat treatment, attains a hardness of 59–61 HRC, ensuring outstanding edge durability. Such a construction imparts high resistance to mechanical stress, extended service life, and straightforward maintenance for everyday use.
Tanto profile blade, satin finish
Featuring a Tanto profile, the blade has a length of 193 mm and a thickness of 4.8 mm. Designed with a smooth cutting edge and a semi-flat grind, the blade is distinguished by a reinforced tip, with the full spine thickness extending nearly to the point. Such construction guarantees exceptional strength, making it well-suited for tough and demanding operations. The satin finish imparts a semi-matte appearance to the blade, enhancing both its visual appeal and its resistance to scratches during use.
Non-slip Kray-Ex grip
The black handle is crafted from durable Kray-Ex material and features a deep texture to ensure a firm grip, even in tough conditions or when hands are wet or dirty. Featuring a Full Tang construction, the tang extends the entire length of the handle and is only slightly narrower than the handle itself. A disk-shaped cross guard provides protection by preventing fingers from sliding onto the blade. At the end of the handle, a steel pommel functions both as a glass breaker and an effective improvised field tool. The handle also incorporates a hole designed for attaching a securing cord or lanyard.
Secure-Ex system sheath
The knife comes with a sheath crafted using the Secure-Ex system, built from lightweight, robust, and weather-resistant material. Secure retention is ensured by a precision-molded inlet and a snap-secured loop, effectively minimizing the risk of accidental loss. The design supports belt attachment, while multiple holes and slots offer versatile, multi-position mounting options on other gear.
