Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII CPM 3V Fixed Blade Knife
A knife with a fixed blade measuring 304 mm in length and a Tanto profile, made of durable and damage-resistant CPM 3V powder steel. The handle, featuring a non-slip texture, is made of Kray-Ex material. The set includes a Secure-Ex sheath with holes and grommets for multi-position attachment to a belt or other gear. The knife was designed with the most demanding users in mind and manufactured with attention to detail using the best materials available on the market.
CPM 3V powder steel
The knife blade is made of CPM 3V steel, produced using the powder sintering method. This steel is characterized by exceptional strength and toughness, while also offering wear resistance comparable to that of high-speed steel used in the manufacture of drill bits and end mills. It is not stainless steel, but it exhibits good corrosion resistance with basic maintenance. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58–61 HRC, combining strength, durability, and ease of sharpening.
Tanto blade profile
The knife features a Tanto-profile blade that is 304 mm long and 5 mm thick. The smooth blade features a gently hollow grind, which ensures excellent cutting performance. The blade tip is strong enough to handle even the hardest materials, yet sharp enough to excel at tasks requiring precision. The curved cutting edge along its entire length increases efficiency when cutting, chopping, or splitting.
Kray-Ex handle
The handle is constructed from Kray-Ex material, offering high resistance to mechanical wear and environmental influences. A textured, non-slip surface guarantees a secure and reliable grip in all conditions. The double-sided cross guard effectively shields the hand, preventing accidental contact with the blade. At the end of the handle, a robust steel pommel features a lanyard hole, allowing the attachment of a safety cord.
Secure-Ex sheath
The sheath is made using the Secure-Ex system from weather-resistant plastic. The sheath holds the knife securely in place thanks to its custom-fit opening and snap-fastened loop, which reduces the risk of the knife accidentally falling out. The loop makes it easy to attach to a belt, and numerous holes and grommets allow for multi-position mounting to other pieces of gear as well.
