Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII CPM 3V Knife
Featuring a fixed blade with a 304mm length and Tanto shape, this knife is crafted from highly durable and impact-resistant CPM 3V powdered steel. The handle, constructed from Kray-Ex material, boasts a secure, non-slip texture for optimal grip. Included in the set is a sheath utilizing the Secure-Ex system, equipped with holes and slots for multi-positional mounting on belts or equipment. Engineered for the most demanding users, the knife is produced with meticulous attention to detail and premium-grade materials available on the market.
CPM 3V powder steel
Forged from CPM 3V steel using advanced powder metallurgy, the knife blade boasts exceptional strength and impact resistance. Offering wear resistance on par with high-speed tool steels found in drills and milling tools, CPM 3V ensures longevity in demanding conditions. Although not a stainless steel, it provides satisfactory corrosion resistance with proper maintenance. The blade reaches a hardness of 58-61 HRC after heat treatment, delivering a balance of resilience, toughness, and straightforward sharpening.
Tanto blade profile
Equipped with a blade featuring a Tanto profile, 304 mm in length and 5 mm thick, the knife offers exceptional performance. The blade’s smooth surface is enhanced by a gentle hollow grind, delivering outstanding cutting efficiency. A robust blade tip enables reliable penetration of even the most demanding materials, while retaining the sharpness required for detailed work. The curved edge running along the blade maximizes effectiveness for chopping, cutting, and slicing tasks.
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 utilizes the Secure-Ex system, constructed from a material highly resistant to environmental factors. A fitted inlet along with a snap-fastened loop ensures the knife is held firmly in place, minimizing the risk of unwanted release. The loop allows for secure belt attachment, while multiple holes and slots provide options for multi-positional attachment to various gear components.
