Cold Steel Kobun Tactical Fixed Blade Knife

The Cold Steel Kobun, a lightweight knife, takes its name from the Japanese underworld, where the word "Kobun" is sometimes used as an indicator of rank that suggests the word "soldier", or one who takes orders from his "Oyabun" or boss. This fitting name for the Kobun knife reflects its effective design as "a good soldier". The Kobun has proven incredibly popular with the Military, where it is prized for its light weight, discreet profile, durability, and cutting potential.

The iconic reinforced "American Tanto" point of the Kobun, a feature of Cold Steel, makes it highly resistant to bending or breaking. This is because the point is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade's spine, which runs almost to the very tip of the blade. Despite its thin profile, the Kobun's deeply checkered Kray-Ex handle is designed to offer maximum grip and is contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand.

Crafted with expertly heat-treated Japanese AUS 8A Steel, the Kobun's blade is tough, corrosion-resistant, has good edge-holding ability, and is easy to re-sharpen. The knife's specifications include a blade length of 5 1/2 inches, a handle length of 4 3/8 inches, and a weight of 4.4 ounces.

In conclusion, the Cold Steel Kobun is a lightweight, durable, and versatile knife that has gained popularity among military personnel for its practical features and performance. Its unique design, coupled with high-quality materials and craftsmanship, make it a reliable tool for various applications.
