Character and philosophy
The Cold Steel Master Tanto San Mai is built on a philosophy of maximum durability and functional precision. The tanto blade shape combines a sharp point for excellent penetration with a straight edge section for strong, stable cuts. San Mai technology – sandwich-laminated steel construction – delivers the best properties of two materials: a hard core steel for long edge life and more flexible outer layers for impact resistance.
The robust construction gives the knife strength even under high stress, while the ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions, increasing confidence and control with every cut.
