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.

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.
San Mai feature
San Mai
San Mai (ja. "three layers") is a three-layer steel laminate developed by Cold Steel, combining a hard, high-carbon core with outer layers of stainless steel that offer high flexibility and corrosion resistance. The outer layers protect the core from damage, increase the blade's impact resistance, and facilitate maintenance. Depending on the generation, Cold Steel has used different core steels: VG-1 (San Mai III), containing 0.95-1.05% carbon and 13-15% chromium, characterized by good edge retention and rust resistance, and VG-10, enriched with molybdenum (0.9-1.2%) and vanadium (0.2-0.3%), which improves hardness, abrasion resistance, and edge retention. After proper heat treatment, the core reaches a hardness of 59-61 HRC. Products with a VG-1 San Mai core are manufactured in Japan in limited editions and are used in Cold Steel's most exclusive collector's fixed knives. VG-10 San Mai is produced in small series and is used exclusively in top-of-the-line collector's knives. San Mai is a registered trademark of Cold Steel.
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.
