The Leatherneck-Tanto features our classic signature Cold Steel style Tanto blade with a stout reinforced tip for extra strength and durability. To keep the fingers from sliding forward onto their keen edge, the Leathernecks come with a superior solid steel guard. Made of thick steel with double quillons that are turned slightly forward to provide excellent protection for your hand while offering minimal interference in the use of these knives when performing utility tasks. The handles are made of deeply checkered Kray-Ex™ that totally encompasses the Leathernecks extra wide, full tang. They offer unsurpassed gripping power through their palm hugging oval cross section and unique finger trough. The Leathernecks handle is capped with a thick, machined steel butt cap (not cheap casting or plastic like others on the market today) so they can also deliver frightful blows with the butt or even double in an emergency as a hammer.

Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Superblades has been a retailer of Cold steel’s for over 15 years now and we are convinced they are among the best knives and swords in the world.
Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton® handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III® and Tri-Ad™ Lock & locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad™ Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it.
We have tested the Tri-Ad lock here as well and found it to be second to none in strength and durability.
Of course, Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years. We here at Superblades will always continue to support and represent Cold Steel as a premium brand.
