Cold Steel Kyoto II 3-3/8" Durable Compact 8Cr13MoV Stainless Steel Fixed Blade Drop Point Outdoor Hunting Utility Knife, 3 3/8" Textured Kray-Ex Handle, Sheath Included

Love Cold Steel. For less than $23 best value knife I've bought. I have held it on my belt in the horizontal position for a week now with 1 small zip tie. Extremely quick to deploy, small enough to not be in the way, stays in sheath securely. It's replaced my expensive EDC folding pocket knife. Sharp and solid. Going to get another one!

Ok, so this is kinda my 1st real review about this Impeccably sturdy and finely crafted blade. When I first ordered it, the package that came to my door was empty! The weight and shipping label were both correct and the bubble pack itself wasn't opened so somewhere along the line someone messed up 🤣! But Alas! After contacting customer support they Immediately expedited me a new one that came in 2 days. I absolutely love this Kyoto II, it feels excellent in my hand and I love the Japanese Tanto design. It's perfect for EDC and with it's kydex SecureEx Sheath, the options for mounting are limitless. It has a slim profile, so for me the "in the waist" carry with a belt lanyard works best. The blade did come very sharp out of the box and as usual for Cold Steel it was covered in oil, (which is good) but immediately wiped away. I don't know how deep the tang goes, in case anyone else does and I really don't want to put it through the gauntlet because it just looks so good! 5⭐'s!

Cold Steel never fails

A sharp, sturdy little knife to bring along. I keep it tucked into a coat pocket and forget it’s even there.

Amazing quality and fits the hand nicely, the scabbard is pretty good too and holds the knife well. 10/10

first class.

Razor sharp out of the box! Cold Steel products almost always are iconic for their edge. This length is definitely for up close, "get off me" encounters. The handle is a very utilitarian material that is chemical resistant, which knife snobs and mall ninjas hate. But it is easy to clean. If a grippier texture is desired, simply take an 800 grit sheet of sandpaper and rub it lightly once or twice abound the surface should be sufficient. The scabbard is serviceable and can handle the use long term and allow for several attachment methods. The only way to hurt the edge or the knife is to abuse it, and you'll have to really work to do it. Another great Cold Steel tool!!

I love this little knife! Razor sharp out of the box, feels solid in hand, and cuts beautifully. The only negative thing is no neck chain or belt loop, but the sheath does give several options for edc.
