Description
The Cold Steel Recon Tanto features a devastating tanto point in SK-5 high-carbon steel, engineered for maximum penetration and strength. The 17.8cm blade features a DLC coating for corrosion protection and reduced visibility. The Kray-Ex handle absorbs impact while maintaining a secure combat grip.
**Uncompromising Force**
The tanto point drives forward with authority, concentrating force into a geometry that has proven itself across centuries of Japanese warfare and modern tactical operations. In hand, it inspires the confidence that only purposeful design can deliver.

**The Tanto Tradition Reforged**
Cold Steel reimagined the ancient tanto blade profile using SK-5 carbon steel — a Japanese industrial steel prized for its toughness. The DLC coating adds a layer of modern performance to a time-tested warrior's geometry.

Knife Care & Maintenance
Keep your blade performing at its best. Rinse and dry after each use to prevent corrosion. Apply a thin coat of mineral oil to the blade periodically. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a consistent angle. Store in a sheath, knife roll, or magnetic strip — never loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, wipe after contact with acidic foods. For folding knives, clean the pivot area and apply a drop of lubricant to ensure smooth deployment.
