Edge Tanto
Opinions of the Cold Steel Magnum Tanto?
I'm thinking of purchasing a Cold Steel Magnum Tanto IX (9" blade, 14 5/8" overall) and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the knife. Is it good or bad? Does it hold a point and an edge as well as their over the top promotional videos make out? Just how sharp is it, razor sharp? Have you had any experience with rusting, discolouring, chipping, cracking or rotting with the blade or handle? Also, is the leather sheath of good quality.
Does anybody have a preference on blade size and why?. I was thinking of getting the IX because it is the only size I can get a hold of at a reasonable price.
I should probably add that I intend to purchase this knife as more of a collectible than a tool, although I will probably occasionally use it.
Thank you to all responses, I heard Cold Steel knives are of very high quality but I'm asking just to make sure.
I have an old one I love it but it is useless for most applications, it's sharp & practically indestructible the leather sheath that came with mine is high quality (again mine is old though). It's basically a fighting knife or self defense my handle is rubber no discoloring chipping or cracking , no rust on blade in over 15 + years. If your looking for a utilitarian knife you might want to look at a different design though.
