Cold Steel Kyoto I CS-17DA Fixed Blade, 8Cr13MoV Steel

Product Description

The Cold Steel Kyoto I CS-17DA is a compact fixed blade tanto with a 3.25″ blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. Overall length is 6.63″, and the whole knife weighs 3.3 oz. It is small enough to forget about until you need it.

The blade is a tanto with a plain edge and a stainless finish. It is 0.12″ thick, and the steel is rated at a hardness of 56-60. The handle is black Kray-Ex. A fixed blade has no hinge to fail, so it is simple to clean and ready to use as soon as you draw it.

Who the Kyoto I fits

This knife is a good match for someone who wants a fixed blade without the bulk. It works for cutting cord, opening packaging, cutting up kindling, and general camp or shop work. The tanto point is a strong tip shape for piercing and scoring. The short blade also keeps it easy to control for detail cuts.

It rides in a belt clip sheath, so it mounts on a belt or waistband without extra hardware. Gear that pairs well includes a sturdy belt, a small sharpening stone or rod, a daypack with a quick-access pocket, and a compact first aid kit. It also makes a lightweight backup knife to carry next to a larger blade or a multi-tool. The Kyoto series is made in China.
