The Knife That Started It All 'Knife Collecting"

The Cold Steel Tanto Series Fixed Blade Knives Made in Japan is the knife that started my knife collecting craziness.

Cold Steel is a Ventura California, USA based company founded in 1980. One of their most popular products has been and still is today, the Tanto series fixed blade knives. These knives are made in Japan (Seki City). Since the original Cold Steel Tanto arrived in 1981, many variations have been produced. Over the years, new models have been introduced. This article only addresses the models made in Japan. The Tanto knives made in Japan are the most sought after due to their craftsmanship and reputation. Today these knives are considered vintage Cold Steel Tantos as they are not produced in Japan any longer. Cold Steel has moved production to Taiwan. These knives do not have any longer, the leather sheaths but instead come with a synthetic sheath. The market value on the Japan made tantos has risen over the past years.
