COLD STEEL OYABUN TANTO POINT FOLDING KNIFE: For years, a folding knife that closely emulates our famous Tanto has been considered.
Andrew Demko worked on the problem, and with input from Lynn Thompson, a satisfactory solution was discovered.
What we offer here is the Oyabun!
It incorporates a high satin polish, a reinforced blade point, expert heat treatment (Rc57 and sub-zero quenched), and the kind of stunningly sharp edge upon which Cold Steel's reputation was founded.
Furthermore, it is equipped with an integral flipper for effortless opening and a (patent pending) leaf spring lock and safety.
The 4034 stainless steel blade is housed in a strong, economical handle reinforced with stainless steel liners.
The handle is injection molded with a Griv-Ex foundation and then over-molded with soft, checkered Kray-Ex, fastened to the frame with two robust bolts.
