Cold Steel CS35AB San Mai Master 6" Fixed Tanto Knife with VG-10 Blade & Kray-Ex Handle + Sheath$130.85
Availability: In Stock
The Cold Steel CS35AE San Mai Magnum XII is a 12-inch fixed blade knife built for hunters, field workers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need a serious tanto-point blade that won't quit. This isn't a backup knife—it's the kind of tool you reach for when the job demands a large, reliable fixed blade with real cutting authority. The VG-10 San Mai construction blends a stainless steel core with harder outer layers, giving you edge retention and corrosion resistance in one package without the brittleness of full stainless.
The blade comes with a satin finish that resists glare and wear, while the handle's textured Kray-Ex material gives you secure grip even when wet or in cold conditions. The tanto point geometry is equally at home for camp tasks, game processing, or general field work—it's not optimized for any single job, which makes it practical for most situations. Cold Steel designed this as a workhorse, and the 12-inch overall length puts it firmly in the large fixed blade category without crossing into machete territory.
Every knife ships with a sheath, so you're ready to carry it from day one. If you've been running smaller blades and finding yourself wishing for more steel, the Magnum XII closes that gap. VG-10 San Mai holds an edge well and sharpens easier than harder stainless blends, making field maintenance realistic without special equipment.

VG-10 San Mai is a layered blade construction: a harder VG-10 stainless steel core sandwiched between softer outer layers. This design balances edge retention with corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening. You get better edge life than softer stainless blades, without the brittleness or high maintenance of full-hard tool steel.
Yes. The 12-inch fixed blade and tanto-point geometry make it well-suited for camp and field tasks including game processing. The large blade provides the reach and cutting surface those jobs demand.
The Cold Steel CS35AE comes with a sheath for carrying and storage, so you're equipped to take it into the field immediately.
Kray-Ex is a textured polymer material designed to maintain grip even when wet or in cold weather. The textured surface helps prevent slipping during extended use or in adverse conditions.
