Good knife for the price.
Very durable, good knife for the money, great tackle box knife, stainless steel but holds an edge fairly well. A good all rounder for a tanto point.

Untouchable for the cost.
This knife is an absolute steal. You get more than you pay for with this one. Nothing fancy but very well dome for the money. Great truck knife, or bugout tool. If something bad happens to it no big deal at this price. Sheath clip is less than desirable but everything else about it checks the right boxes.

Very nice diving blade.
I am very pleased with this knife. It came quickly and is very sharp. If you are reading reviews you may have noted a lot of complaints about the included sheath. About the sheath: Once you hold the blade in your hand it becomes very apparent that the blade was initially designed to be a diving knife. As a diving knife and because of basic economics, the sheath needed to be plastic with a positive lock (retention) system. The blade locks into the sheath very snugly and will not fall out of the sheath, I turned it upside down and shook it for a few minutes; it did not come even slightly loose. The sheath does have a hole in the bottom to prevent hydro-locking. As a diving knife the blade has ONE flaw. It does not have a hole in the hilt to allow for a lanyard, so it you drop it you will be looking for it. For my purposes this knife is almost perfect. Because of the 4116 steel, It will hold an edge for a very long time. The blade is well balanced for most common uses but because it is blade heavy it would not be a good throwing knife (but it’s not designed to be throwen).

Fantastic diving knife
As always, Cold Steel has made another wonderful knife. This is not advertised as a diving knife but that's exactly what it is. It has a positive locking plastic sheath with a drainage hole to prevent vacuum lock. The knife comes razor sharp from the factory, but that's Cold Steel knives for you. The handle is totally nonslip, only missing a lanyard hole but the handle has a spot that one can be added. I'm completely pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend if you're in the market for a great diving knife.

Love the knife, hate the sheath
This knife is sharp and has held an edge pretty well. It is a little tough to put an edge back on but by keeping up with it on a strop or steel it doesn’t need that often. When I do touch it up I found that it’s still a reasonable task with a diamond stone. The handle is comfortable and doesn’t slip in my hand. I have been using it primarily for heavy cutting/chopping and carving on sticks doing rough shaping for decorative walking sticks. The knife is easy to shift my grip on with the shape, size, and texture of the handle. The blade does hold up well to this harsh use as well. I am not a fan of the sheath as far as kydex goes, it is a basic sheath. I don’t prefer kydex, though it is not the kydex that I am rating the sheath on. The belt loop sticks up well above the bolster, to the point that it gets in the way of trying to draw the blade from the rigid, tension retention sheath. Since I don’t wear it on my belt because I’m usually sitting in a chair or stool in the back yard carving, the belt loop makes the draw particularly awkward for me. I would prefer more, or more flexible carry options other than the rigid plastic belt loop. The aesthetics are what they are. If you like a modern looking brilliantly shiny blade on a black polymer handle, you’ll love the looks. If you prefer more traditional organic material, or at least the appearance, then it may not be as appealing to you visually. The blade is smooth and shiny. It certainly wipes clean easily. I am in the camp with preferring a traditional/organic look, but more importantly, I’m a practical guy and utility is more important than aesthetics in my tools. I think it is ugly, but I still very much like this knife. It’s a strong package that does everything I ask it to. It is definitely a workhorse. I recommend it to anyone who needs a solid large tool and is comfortable with the tanto blade design. I would not hesitate to get it again, though I would prefer a less shiny finish on the blade and I am going to do some leather tooling soon to replace the sheath.

Great Budget Friendly Tanto Knife
What can I say, it’s what you’d expect from a reputable company like ColdSteel. Nice fit & finish, plus a razor sharp edge. I can’t find anything I don’t like about it. The knife is good to go. The shipping speed however, left a lot to be desired. It took 5 weeks to receive this from the date of order. That’s very unusual for something shipped directly from Amazon. Other than that, solid knife for the money.

Very Sharp Knife
Excellent value for a Cold Steel knife made with durable German steel. The knife is extremely sharp, and the tanto style blade will pierce anything with ease. I was going to take a star off for the sheath, it’s worthless, but the knife deserves 5 stars.

Absolutely love this knife! But it for the wife for a camping knife and we’re not disappointed. Razor sharp and holds its edge very well.

Nunca experimentei um cuchillo tão perfeito na vida. Tenho um Kershaw Emerson 4kxl, que, apesar de ser uma beleza, vem em uma embalagem simples de cartão. Também possuo um cuchillo artesanal de acero damasco de 256 capas, que me foi entregue em uma simples bolsa de plástico. No entanto, este Cold Steel Tanto Lite superou todas as minhas expectativas. Ele vem em uma caixa robusta com um design impressionante. O cuchillo em si é uma obra de arte: a lâmina, feita de aço inoxidável alemão 4116 e submetida a um tratamento criogênico, é longa e imponente. A empunadura, feita de polipropileno de alto impacto e revestida com Kray-Ex profundamente texturizado, oferece uma pegada firme e não escorrega. A bainha Secure-Ex® é de plástico duro resistente, garantindo que o cuchillo não saia acidentalmente. A lâmina vem bem afiada, pronta para uso. Embora seja mais acessível que outros cuchillos que possuo, o Cold Steel Tanto Lite se destaca pela sua qualidade e design. Parece mais um produto premium, desenvolvido pensando nas necessidades do consumidor. Enquanto outros cuchillos que tenho se sentem como ferramentas comuns, este se assemelha a um produto de alta tecnologia, como um Nintendo Switch ou Apple AirPods. Recomendo a Cold Steel 100% e já estou de olho em outros produtos da marca para minha coleção. Se a lâmina deste Tanto Lite é considerada longa demais para algumas situações, certamente buscarei um modelo mais compacto para meu EDC.

Evidentemente no tiene el mismo nivel de detalle ni calidad que el master tanto pero en desempeño no le pide nada, ademas es mas ligero cosa que se nota y agradece mucho, viene muy afilado, tiene un agarre exelente y el precio es muy bueno, el grosor de la hoja es aceptable, en general una gran compra

Une beau couteau dans la gamme Tanto. Bonne prise en main, pointe de poignée très dure et résistante. Seul bémol : l'étui est un peu simpliste

Nunca me arrependo de comprar produtos da Cold Steel, todos produtos são excelentes. Compre com tranquilidade.
