Cold Steel Kobun 17T

Cold Steel Kobun Knife
Item Number: 17T

Cold Steels Kobun is a lightweight Tanto styled boot knife. It takes its namesake from the Japanese martial, or underworld where the word Kobun means soldier. Its a fitting name for a knife like the Kobun®, which was effectively designed to be a good soldier. In profile it closely resembles our Master Tanto, but it sports a thinner blade, and that supports its main function; to be a light weight boot knife.

Like Cold Steels Tantos, it features the Tanto styled reinforced point. This contrasts sharply with most boot knives on the market today which are notorious for their paper thin points which are easily broken or bent. In contrast, the Kobuns point is highly resistant to bending or breaking because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blades spine which runs almost to the very tip of the blade.

The Kobuns deeply checkered Kraton handle is designed to offer minimum bulk with maximum grip. Its cross section was made as thin as possible (approximately 1/2 inch), then contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand. The Kobun comes complete with a Secure-Ex sheath.
