Very nice knife, fairly well made. Works well as a handy blade. It's sharp and keeps its sharpness well, the sheath is also ok. The knife is worth recommending.

Cold Steel Mini Leatherneck Tanto 8Cr13MoV Fixed Blade Knife
A compact version of the Cold Steel Leatherneck knife, inspired by classic US Marines combat knives. This fixed-blade model features a Full Tang construction and is designed for tactical and survival use. The Tanto-style blade is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, which combines corrosion resistance with ease of resharpening. The cutting edge features a flat grind and is finished with a satin finish. The set includes a Secure-Ex sheath with holes and eyelets for multi-position attachment to a belt or other gear.
8Cr13MoV stainless steel
The blade is made of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, which is easy to sharpen, holds its edge well, and is corrosion-resistant. After heat treatment, the material achieves a hardness of approximately 56–58 HRC, which translates to good cutting performance and wear resistance.
Tanto profile blade
The Tanto-profile blade is 88 mm long and 3 mm thick. The smooth cutting edge features a flat grind and is finished with a satin finish, which leaves an even, linear pattern and minimizes glare on the blade's surface.
Full Tang design, Kray-Ex handle, double-sided steel cross guard
The handle features a Full Tang construction, which means that the steel blade tang extends the entire length of the handle, increasing its rigidity and stability. An injection-molded Kray-Ex polymer grip is mounted on the tang. The ergonomic shape and non-slip texture make it easier to control the knife even with wet or dirty hands. The double-sided steel cross guard reduces the risk of your hand slipping onto the blade. At the end of the handle, there is a hole for a safety lanyard made of leather or paracord.
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, which reduces the risk of accidental ejection. Numerous holes and grommets allow for multi-position attachment to a belt or other pieces of gear.

Cold Steel is a respected American brand of knives, machetes, and tactical tools, founded in 1980 in Irving, California. The company gained popularity thanks to innovative solutions such as Kraton® handles and American Tanto blades, appreciated by uniformed services and military enthusiasts. It also introduced its own steel alloys, such as San Mai III®, which provides high durability and wear resistance. Cold Steel patented the Tri-Ad™ Lock blade locking mechanism, which guarantees safe use. The brand works with respected knifemakers, including the company's founder Lynn C. Thompson and Andrew Demko, whose passion and experience contribute to the high quality of the products.

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.
8Cr13MoV (8Cr13)
8Cr13MoV (8Cr13) is a Chinese stainless steel equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel. It offers a good balance between corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge retention. The carbon content (approximately 0.8%) affects the hardness of the steel, while chromium (13%) provides very good corrosion and abrasion resistance. Additions of molybdenum (0.3%), vanadium (up to 0.2%), manganese (0.5%), and silicon (0.4%) improve abrasion resistance and the stability of the steel structure. 8Cr13MoV is often used in the production of knives, including by companies such as Spyderco and Benchmade, which manufacture in China. After proper heat treatment, 8Cr13MoV steel achieves a hardness of 56-58 HRC, which makes it a material with good cutting properties, easy to sharpen, and relatively resistant to wear.
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.

Nice knife. Depending on what kind of tasks. For everyday survival, rather not. For an adult, I would recommend something else. Additionally, I sharpened it myself.

Very nice small dagger. I recommend it, it's worth it.

Well factory-sharpened knife, not large in size so it doesn't take up much space, for example in a backpack. Comfortable handle and good price/quality ratio, definitely worth recommending and buying.
-
Great little knife. I recommend it.
-
Sharpness out of the box is satisfactory, quality and weight are also great, very nice for small trips and for processing wood for fuel and more, I think it would do well in many tough situations.

It's a badass, more for a shelf and to look at than to use... But it looks great!
