Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto Fixed Blade Nightshade Knife

The Cold Steel FGX Cat Tanto is part of Cold Steel's Nightshade series, and the concept behind it is straightforward. The entire knife, blade and handle, is constructed from Griv-Ex fiberglass reinforced plastic and Kray-Ex overmold. That means it weighs just 3.1 oz at 11.5 inches overall, it will not rust, warp, crack or corrode in any weather condition, and it passes through metal detection undetected. The tanto blade profile gives it the piercing strength and reinforced tip geometry that Cold Steel is known for, and the deeply checkered Kray-Ex handle molded directly onto the tang provides a firm, slightly tacky grip that holds securely whether your hands are wet, cold, or gloved.

At 6 inches of blade and 11.5 inches overall this is a full-size fixed blade in a package that is light enough to tape, tie, or tuck just about anywhere. It is UV and heat stabilized, impervious to moisture, and carries no markings. For people who want a dedicated backup blade that can go places a steel knife cannot, the FGX Cat Tanto fills that role without any compromise on size or grip security. Made in Japan.

Best for: Tactical carry, backup blade, outdoor survival, water environments, or anyone who needs a full-size fixed blade that is completely non-metallic and weatherproof.
