Cold Steel G.I. Tanto Fixed Blade Knife
The Cold Steel G.I. Tanto is a durable fixed blade tactical knife designed with maximum simplicity and functionality in mind. Its construction contains no unnecessary decorative elements — only proven design solutions focused on reliability in demanding conditions. Thanks to its robust construction, classic Tanto blade profile, and durable materials, this model is well suited for field use, tactical applications, hiking, and everyday outdoor tasks.
The 7-inch (177.8 mm) blade is made from 1055 carbon steel, a material known for its excellent impact toughness and resistance to heavy loads. The spring tempering process allows the knife to withstand significant mechanical stress without losing its performance characteristics. The Tanto blade shape provides exceptional tip strength and performs efficiently when piercing dense materials. A protective coating further enhances the steel's resistance to corrosion and external influences.
One of the key features of this knife is its full tang construction, which provides maximum strength and durability. The handle is fitted with polypropylene scales that ensure a secure grip even in challenging weather conditions. An integrated guard helps prevent the hand from slipping onto the cutting edge during heavy-duty work.
Thanks to its well-balanced design, the knife has become popular among knife-throwing enthusiasts. Its construction allows it to be thrown by either the handle or the blade. In addition, the model can be used as an improvised spearhead—after removing the handle scales, the knife can be securely attached to a wooden shaft.
For safe transportation and storage, the knife comes with Secure-Ex® sheath, which securely retains the knife while allowing quick access whenever needed.
