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.

Cold Steel Kobun Tanto:  Quick Review

Cold Steel SRK, Gerber Strongarm has some good reviews, Schrade has some nice single piece hollow handle survival knives, Morakniv I think offers the best value available. They have a few survival knives. 

Friend just got a Gerber Gator Machete Jr. It feels nice but I read its metal breaks and chips easily. 

Any recommendations? Something affordable but durable. Similar size.

Recommended me ONE Survival knife

 Very easy to correct one flaw if available to modification Very easy to correct one flaw if available to modification. Would make a very good knife for a prepper or bug out situation blade or even personal defense if you have a CCWP.

 Would be great as a bug out or military tactical vest knife if you was with different clips but the clip itself allows a knife to come off pants lips without breaking retention on the piercing itself. Would be great as a bug out or military tactical vest knife if you was with different clips but the clip itself allows a knife to come off pants lops without breaking retention on the holster itself. How different way of mounting it Such as a ballistic vest or bag in which you put it to Molly with proper hook up the retention will hold a knife in and through rugged exercise or activity not fall loose and caused you to lose your blade. such as a ballistic vest or bag in which you put it to Molly with proper hook up the retention will hold a knife in and through rugged exercise or activity not fall loose and caused you to lose your blade

 instead it takes the whole holster with it. Can be solved if you have access to a metal bender to bend the pants loop on the clip itself to actually grab and hold a belt loop or belt on your pants.

The media could not be loaded. Great knife absolutely phenomenal on blade sharpness and quality of metal but my only concern is the clip that hooks up to your belt or pants loop not actually being able to break free when trying to reach the knife.

Great knife  with only one flaw

 I think they might have had one at knifeworks um i'll try to put a good link down in the bio. If i can find and in the description if i can find one. But it's just a really cool knife and i'm starting to see why so many people love cold steel, knives, they're, just unique and they're just well done and they are sharp um. So there you go the cold steel kobun and let me know what you think of it down in the comments guys i'll be really interested, and my son will be even more interested in me

 You have several options for mounting points and you can change out the clip, but it comes with this really cool flat, blade. Uh, good retention clip guys i've carried this uh, probably three or four days recently and um. I love the way this clip works for me, um it. It has enough room here where you can tilt it slightly uh if you want to and it stays there um

 So it is a a full flat grind and by the way, when we did strop it, it came back to life very nicely. It is a sharp uh knife and it is a flat grind. As you can see, and up on the flats here, the satin goes uh this way and down on the blade. It goes that way, and it gives it this really nice uh contrast really beautiful

 So let's get into some stats, i'm going to set it down uh, so i can get over here next to what i can actually see. It is 9.875 inches long overall um and just let's see if i got a couple knives here, that i can put up there. So this is uh the bb, the button lock elementum

Cold Steel Kobun: Review

The knife is fine. The seller was less than steller.

 This is this is a good accompanying knife. I'Ll tell you right now. I recommend it. I was surprised by it

 He said if it knives it knifes it works, and that and that's true that's true. I steal a lot from donnie a lot of stuff. I still you know it's factual, some of it's not like the goat, skin uh sheaths uh from cakri house they're, not goat skin. Thank you deep

 That'S not the bucks yeah! No, we should all be able to be adult enough or or have enough common sense to go. Hmm, i'm gon na take a piece of wood glue, some leather to it, and now i have a straw, i'm a firm believer in strapping that blade, i believe, it'll save your blade, i believe it'll hold up. I believe it helps to hold up and i believe it in it tremendously. Having said that, most cold steels come pretty, damn sharp, so we run this over the straw

 Why do you put it in? Because i told y'all, i'm not this ain't gon na be some big edited thing where everything looks perfect and all this now watch this. This is that up front tip. I don't know what the hell. It'S called it's from point to point

COLD STEEL KOBUN REVIEW!!

 The main blade area was reasonably sharp, but the tip area is dull. All in all it feels cheap to me, but I will take the word of others that its a good knife. Compared to my Ontario and Ka-Bar knifes, this thing feels like something made in China, but it's from Taiwan, which normally does better work then the Chinese. I almost sent it back, but I guess it's worth holding on to

 Compared to my Ontario and Ka-Bar knifes, this thing feels like something made in China, but it's from Taiwan, which normally does better work then the Chinese. I almost sent it back, but I guess it's worth holding on to. All in all, if this had been $20 it would be alright. $35 is more than it is worth

Not That Impressed

 I didn't like I'm bringing you something that I love This is my first ever cold steel knife this one. I've had for a bunch of years now and You can tell there, but this thing I use a lot I've done a ton of throwing with it ton of cutting with it, and I used to keep it in my In my what do you call it my camelback whenever I went hiking this always came with me? This thing looks brand new out of the box the only wear on this entire thing is Right here where it says Koban some of that printing is fading, and that's after years of using this thing It's awesome the Koban is It's like 10 inches long I want to say five and a half inches five and a half inch blade and The blade has the armor piercing tip It is a cold steel Tonto and cold steel makes quote me on this some of the best tantos in the entire world It is something that they just do right. It's like the Corvette You know what I mean Chevy can't screw that up This is it this one Is fantastic now? it's fantastic for What it's made for especially if I went and tried to chop with this the thing is so freaking light and So well balanced to to be able to throw and whatnot that chopping is just not going to happen with a blade like this You can carve It it has a 90 degree spine so you can throw a spark with it if you need to You can feather stick with it. You can do all the all the typical stuff This cardboard is soaking wet

 I'm gonna use a Arizona can I don't know if I'm going to be able to balance it on here and that could create a problem in the low angle Might create a problem, but we'll see what we can do here Well As you can see I mean that's just no task You know is a real challenge for this thing As far as cutting is concerned. Let me just wipe off some of the water here It is a beautiful beautiful piece now, you'll notice this is crazy thin What makes it Workable being so skinny is that the textured grip this knurled. I know they have a special They don't call it rubber. They have a special Special name for it, which I'm going to tell you in a minute And after saying that I hope you forget that I said, I'm going to tell you because I have no idea what it's called It's comfortable comfortable comfortable the grip is just awesome it is uh It's so so good that I can I mean just I don't know

 You don't get to see cardboard cut, and I know that's what really distinguishes a bad knife from a good one So anyway what I am going to do is show you some of the things this knife is good at one of the thing One of the thing because that's not plural or anything one of the things that this thing is especially good at is Fighting this knife is an absolute fighting knife. It is a killer killer blade it is made to stick and twist and disembowel and cut open and It's a killer. This is an absolute killer of a tanto, and we're gonna go have some fun So come with me, okay, so Here we are at the stump I believe so much in this knife that There's not a lot that I think I should do to try and prove it because it proves itself the The the strong tip is good for prying I mean, I can pry all day with this thing and have zero worries It is a beast and it has tremendous tremendous flexibility to it so I'm not worried if I see the the blade bending. I'm not worried about it I'm gonna keep on going because it's gonna snap right back I like to do the the water bottle thing with some of these small sharp knives today

 I've loved it for years. I'm gonna love it for a bunch of more years Oh, man, i'll tell you what I could literally do this all day. This is um, this is very fun to throw Um It's the cold steel coban Um It's not just a made-up word. It actually means something this it had to do a lot with like um rank and uh In the old days and in the ancient times during war um the the word kind of Meant like soldier and uh It is it is a soldier of a knife

Giving my 2 cents on the Cold Steel Kobun.

Cold Steel Kobun knife review - YouTube

The blade locks so tightly into the handle it is almost dangerous trying to pull it out. I tried sitting there pulling and pushing it back in 50+ times to see if I could loosen it up. No dice. When it is on my belt and I try and pull the knife out, it pulls the whole sheath off my belt because the knife is so tightly bound into it

Click fit is too tight..

 I don't know everything else on the knife is really high quality in my opinion. So uh, but it it is definitely in the budget knife category which i like. I don't like spending a fortune on my knives and uh yeah. It'S it's not gon na break the bank

 I don't like spending a fortune on my knives and uh yeah. It'S it's not gon na break the bank. If you're, looking for a good um, a good, fixed blade, edc knife, this won't hurt your wall too bad at all, but anywho. Overall, i really like this knife um
