The Cold Steel Leatherneck Tanto (brand part no. CS39LSFCT) is a full-tang fixed blade built around Cold Steel’s signature American Tanto profile, a design favored by service members and outdoorsmen who need a knife that can take real abuse. Forged from tough D2 tool steel and finished with a non-reflective black powder coat, this 7-inch fixed blade is equally at home on a duty belt or in a hunting pack. The reinforced tip resists snapping under lateral stress, making it a dependable choice for hard use, camp chores, and home defense. It’s part of the broader Leatherneck lineup that Cold Steel built specifically with military users in mind.

Key Specifications

• The blade measures a full 7 inches, giving plenty of edge for heavy field tasks without becoming unwieldy.
• Blade steel is German D2 tool steel, prized for holding an edge through extended hard use.
• A non-reflective black powder coat finish keeps the blade from catching light or rusting in wet conditions.
• The reinforced American Tanto point is built for extra strength at the tip, reducing the risk of breakage under stress.
• A solid steel double quillon guard keeps fingers from sliding forward onto the edge during hard thrusts or chopping.
• The full-width, full tang handle is wrapped in deeply checkered Kray-Ex for a grip that holds up in rain, sweat, or blood.
• A thick, machined steel butt cap lets the knife double as a light hammer in a pinch, rather than a cheap cast or plastic pommel.
• It ships with a military-style Secure-Ex sheath featuring a fully detachable, ambidextrous belt loop.
