Cold Steel Knives GI Tanto Knife with Polycarbonate Scales Handle and Cordura Sheath

It is a good knife, sharp and the carbon steel is key.

A Great Knife for a great price! I am extremely impressed with the quality of this knife. It has a good weight to it and feels solid and strong in my hand. Shipping was the fastest I've ever seen (to Canada) It will be my MAIN knife that I carry into the Northern woods this winter , on my solo adventure. *Note- Another great feature of Carbon Steel is that using a small area of the back of the knife (Never the edge) you can create a huge amount of sparks with Flint,quartz,obsidian,Mish metal etc.To start a life saving fire. With Stainless steel you rarely get a few sparks if any.

I really like this knife! It is of great quality and arrived razor sharp. It is the second GI Tanto I have purchased. The first had a para cord wrapped handle that actually came undone soon after I had it out in the wilderness. This model comes with Polycarbonate scales that are a lot tougher and more durable. It does take some practice to sharpen a Tanto edge. It's not just a few straight sweeps with a sharpener like you would use for a clip, drop or spear point blade. The Factory edge it came with seemed to last forever. It handled cutting down small willows and saplings to create a makeshift shelter and handled acidic lemons and venison just fine in the camp kitchen too. (5 Stars !)
