The Cold Steel Kobun is a lightweight knife that takes its name from the Japanese word “Kobun” which is sometimes used as an indicator of rank. Proven to be incredibly popular with the Military, where it’s prized for its light weight as much as its durability and cutting potential.

The Kobun features Cold Steels iconic reinforced “American Tanto” point, making it highly resistant to bending or breaking because it 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.

    Sharp and Stylish Cold Steel Kobun, but Poor Packaging

    Posted by Gaetano Giusa on 14th Jun 2025

    I recently bought the Cold Steel Kobun knife from Heinnie Haynes and was impressed with how sharp it was straight out of the box. The knife looks great and feels solid and well-balanced in the hand definitely lives up to Cold Steel’s reputation. Unfortunately, the packaging was damaged when it arrived. Thankfully, the knife itself wasn’t affected, but it was a bit disappointing considering Heinnie Haynes is usually very reliable. Some extra care in packaging or handling would make the buying experience perfect. Overall, I’m very happy with the knife excellent quality and performance but the delivery experience could be improved.

    MY first Cold Steel Tanto

    Posted by Stuart Hosie on 31st Dec 2024

    It's a nice little knife, quite light, with a slim grip, it works with my big paws, but it would suit someone with small hands. Take note of the picture of the sheath the affixed clip is left handed carry and non reversible.
