Cold Steel - G.I. Tanto

The Cold Steel G.I. Tanto is a no-nonsense tactical fixed blade built for utility, survival, and self-defense. Stripped down to its most functional form, it features a broad tanto-style blade made from spring-tempered 1055 high carbon steel with a rust-resistant finish—offering outstanding durability and cutting power at an unbeatable value.

Designed with an integral quillon guard and robust polypropylene handle scales, the G.I. Tanto provides a solid grip and maximum reliability under pressure. It’s popular among throwing knife enthusiasts due to its well-balanced design and versatility—throw it by the handle or blade with confidence. In a survival scenario, you can remove the scales and lash it to a wooden shaft to transform it into an improvised spear.

Affordable, durable, and multi-functional, the G.I. Tanto is the perfect addition to bug-out bags, truck kits, or backyard throwing sessions.
