Cold Steel Kobun 5.5" Tanto Serrated Fixed Blade Knife with Black Kray-Ex Handle and Sheath$49.41
Availability: In Stock
The Cold Steel CS17T Kobun is a purpose-built fixed tanto blade knife designed for hunters, outdoorsmen, and anyone who needs a reliable cutting tool in the field. At 5.50 inches, this mid-sized fixed blade strikes a balance between reach and control—long enough to handle serious cutting tasks, compact enough to carry comfortably on a belt or pack. The reinforced American tanto point is one of Cold Steel's hallmarks, offering a geometry that resists bending and breaking thanks to the full spine thickness that runs nearly to the tip. This design philosophy makes the Kobun durable under hard use, whether you're field dressing game, processing camp tasks, or tackling utility work in rough conditions.
The handle is where the Kobun earns its place in a working knife drawer. Cold Steel's deeply checkered Kray-Ex material provides serious grip security, even with wet, bloody, or gloved hands—a genuine advantage when you're focusing on the cut, not fighting the knife. The contoured shape resists the handle rolling or shifting in your grip, which matters when you're working fast or in less-than-ideal conditions. Combined with the AUS-8A stainless steel blade, you get a knife that's both corrosion-resistant and sharp-holding enough for extended field use.
The package includes a belt clip for easy carry and a Secure-Ex sheath. The sheath-and-clip combo keeps the knife accessible on your belt loop or pack strap, and the sheath design protects both the blade and your gear when the knife isn't in hand. For hunters, camp cooks, survival-minded outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone who values a tough fixed blade without pretense or bloat, the Kobun delivers straightforward performance.
| Brand | Cold Steel |
| Model | CS17T Kobun |
| Blade Length | 5.50 inches |
| Blade Steel | AUS-8A Stainless |
| Blade Shape | American Tanto |
| Handle Material | Black Kray-Ex |
| Handle Style | Fixed Blade / Full Tang |
| Includes | Belt Clip and Secure-Ex Sheath |
The reinforced American tanto point is engineered to resist bending and breaking under pressure. This makes it well-suited for field dressing, camp processing, utility cutting, and other hard-use tasks where a thinner blade might fold. The geometry also provides a sturdy tip for precision work without sacrificing control.
Yes. AUS-8A is a stainless steel that resists corrosion, making it practical for wet conditions and outdoor environments where you can't immediately clean and dry a carbon blade. You'll still want to wipe it down and store it dry, but it won't rust if you miss a day or two.
The deeply checkered Kray-Ex material is specifically designed to provide grip security even when wet, bloody, or used with heavy gloves. The contoured shape also resists the handle rolling or twisting in your hand, which is a practical safety feature during intensive cutting work.
The Kobun comes with a Secure-Ex sheath and a belt clip. The belt clip allows you to carry the sheathed knife on your belt loop or pack strap for quick access, while the sheath protects the blade and your gear when the knife is stowed.
