The Leatherneck Tanto from Cold Steel knife was created as a tribute to the United States Marine Corps. This durable and perfectly functional military knife is particularly popular among armed forces for its longevity and impressive innovation in materials.
The Tanto steel blade has a specially reinforced secondary point, offering maximum strength when chopping. The Tanto blade is made from durable, very strong steel that effectively maintains the knife's edge. However, it is not stainless steel, so the blade is treated with a premium anti-corrosion non-reflective surface finish.
The full tang construction ensures maximum strength for the Leatherneck Tanto Cold Steel knife. The solid handle is finished with a high-quality steel cap, which is undeniably a better choice than cheaper castings or plastics used by competitors in similar types of construction. This makes it possible to use the handle as a hammer in case of emergency.
The handle of the Leatherneck knife is innovatively designed with Griv-Ex material, which is a top choice among functional materials due to its excellent properties. It is significantly stronger than the commonly used Zy-Ex. Its deep texture offers exceptional anti-slip properties for the handle. The material does not undergo changes with temperature or humidity and does not warp.
A quality military knife requires a quality military sheath. For this reason, each model of the Leatherneck Tanto from Cold Steel is equipped with a robust versatile Secure-Ex sheath.
