The Cold Steel Magnum Tanto XII San Mai (CS-35AE) is a fixed blade knife with a 12″ tanto blade made from VG-10 San Mai steel. Overall length is 17.62″. The blade is 0.3″ thick and has a satin finish and a plain edge. The whole knife weighs 14.2 oz.
What sets it apart
The blade is made with the San Mai creation process and is hollow ground. The profile is a tanto, and the edge is plain, not serrated. The handle is black Kraton. The knife is built around a Secure-Ex sheath. It is made in Taiwan.
This knife suits someone who wants a long fixed blade for camp, field or outdoor work. It also fits a collector who likes a big tanto in a laminated-steel pattern. A 12″ blade is a lot of knife, so it is a better match for people who want reach and size than for those who want something small to carry every day.
Good gear to pair with it includes a sturdy belt that can carry the sheath, a pack with room for a knife this long, and work gloves for rough jobs. Because the edge is plain, a sharpening stone or a guided sharpening system is a useful addition for keeping it in shape.
