The Cold Steel Kyoto I (brand part no. CS-17DA) proves that small fixed blades can offer astounding cutting and thrusting potential that belies their modest stature. This compact tanto features a robustly stout blade with a wide, full tang running the length of the handle, coupled with a stainless steel guard and a super-high-traction Kray-Ex grip stylized to mimic the traditional look of cord-wrapped Japanese sword handles. The slim, comfortable sheath is genuinely versatile, accepting a bead chain lanyard or a Cold Steel C-Clip, so it can be carried in whatever way suits the user’s needs.
