Cold Steel 17T : Kobun
Item Discription:
KOBUN®
The Kobun® is a lightweight Tanto styled
boot knife. It takes its namesake from the
Japanese martial, or underworld where the
word "Kobun" means "soldier". It's a fitting
name for a knife like the Kobun®, which was
effectively designed to be "a good soldier".
In profile it closely resembles our Master
Tanto, but it sports a thinner blade, and
that supports its main function; to be a light
weight boot knife.
Like our Tantos, it features the Tanto
styled reinforced point. This contrasts
sharply with most boot knives on the market
today which are notorious for their
paper thin points which are easily
broken or bent. In contrast, the
Kobun's® point is highly resistant
to bending or breaking because
it is reinforced by the full thickness
of the blade's spine which
runs almost to the very tip of
the blade.
The Kobun's® deeply
checkered Kray-Ex™ handle
is designed to offer minimum
bulk with maximum
grip. Its cross section
was made as thin as
possible (approximately
1/2 inch), then
contoured to resist
turning or shifting
in the hand.
The Kobun®
comes complete
with a Secure-
Ex® sheath.
