The Cold Steel CS-35AB San Mai Master delivers exceptional edge retention and cutting performance through its VG-10 San Mai steel construction. This 6-inch fixed tanto combines traditional Japanese blade geometry with modern tactical functionality for demanding cutting tasks.
What Makes This Different
The VG-10 San Mai construction places a hard VG-10 steel core between softer stainless steel layers, creating a blade that holds a razor-sharp edge while resisting chips and cracks. This laminated steel technique produces superior performance compared to standard single-steel construction. The tanto point design concentrates force at the tip for penetration tasks while the flat grind provides clean, efficient cutting along the entire edge.Key Features
