The tanto knife style was first made popular by Cold Steel in the 1980s.
Knife enthusiasts have been in love with tanto knives for many years. This is because of their super thick and reinforced tip.

In 2007, Cold Steel revived a time proven classic with the G.I. Tanto fixed blade knife.
I recently picked up a GI Tanto of my own, and here are my thoughts:
What I like:
1. The GI Tanto is made with one solid piece of 1055 carbon steel. This steel is known for its toughness and edge holding ability.
The handle is wrapped with Para cord. This feature gives the knife a tactical look and feel that you've gotta hold to appreciate.
2. With a suggested retail value of , The GI Tanto is an incredible deal for the money.
3. Its hollow ground blade has a thin enough edge to make razor thin slices, but its thick enough to withstand almost any torture test.
4. The hand guard is also made from 1055 carbon steel. This gives you a lot of added protection from cutting your fingers on the blade.
What I didn't like:
1. The cutting edge was not quite as sharp as most Cold Steel knives. My samurai shark was able to put a razor sharp edge on the GI Tanto almost instantly.
2. The cordura sheath could be a little bit more rugged. For I cant complain too much though.
Overall:
Cold Steel's GI Tanto is one of the best deals of 2008. For the asking price, you truly cannot go wrong with such a TOUGH knife.
