Specifications

The Cold Steel G.I. Tanto is a no-nonsense tactical knife that comes with a legion of practical uses. The GI Tanto's broad blade, integral quillon guard, and Polypropylene handle scales exemplify a tactical knife stripped down to its bare essentials.

Made from spring tempered 1055 carbon steel and protected by a rust resistant finish, it's rugged, hard-wearing and dependable. Popular with sport throwers, the GI Tanto is perfectly balanced and capable of being thrown by the blade or handle.

In a survival situation, it can be quickly and easily converted into a spear tool. Just remove the handle scales and lash the blade securely to a suitable wooden shaft! Best of all, it's a great value blade inexpensive enough to buy duplicates to keep as back-up or bug-out bag knives, or even just to throw for fun on a sunny day. A stalwart and reliable knife that you can depend upon in a pinch.

Great Budget Tanto

Posted by Mark R. on 1st Mar 2024

Having watched the official Cold Steel video of this knife being tested I just had to have one. This is £ for £ possibly the best multipurpose knife you can buy. It weighs 12 ounces ( 3/4 of a pound ) of razor sharp 1055 steel. The main and front edge were hair shaving sharp straight out of the box. The false upper edge was almost sharp enough to cut as well. This a must for any bug out bag or survival/wilderness camping kit. I'm really looking forward to using it on my next wilderness camping break in Scotland.
