The Cold Steel Tanto Lite (brand part no. 20TL) is a more economical version of Cold Steel’s classic Tanto and Outdoorsman knives, sharing the same blade shape, guard, handle profile, and pommel while using more accessible materials to bring the price down. The 6-inch blade is thinner 4034 stainless steel, still capable of taking and holding a genuinely useful edge for camp and field tasks. The two-part handle features a polypropylene guard, pommel, and core section that fully encases the knife’s full tang, over-molded in deeply checkered Kraton for a non-slip grip that cleans easily with soap and water. It ships in a pouch-style Cordura sheath with a belt loop for convenient field carry.
