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.
Looking After Your Blade
Keep your blade in top nick. Give it a rinse and dry after each use to stop corrosion. Every now and then, rub a thin coat of mineral oil along the blade. Sharpen with a whetstone or honing rod at a steady angle. Store it in a sheath, knife roll, or on a magnetic strip — never chucked loose in a drawer. For carbon and Damascus steel, give it a wipe after cutting acidic foods. For folding knives, clean out the pivot and pop a drop of lubricant in to keep it opening smoothly.
