Vintage circa 1998 Cold Steel Magnum Tanto IX (model 13MBIX) 9-inch blade fighting knife made in Seki, Japan for Cold Steel Co. which was based in Ventura, CA. Original early type all-leather sheath with “Velcro type” keeper is included. Magnum Tanto was the only model with the full-size traditional Japanese “tsuba” style handguard and spine chamfering, rather than the usual “flat spine” blade. This is a seriously cool-looking fighter and it appeared in a number of Hollywood movies in the past 25 years. The Magnum Tanto is in rare unused condition; these Japan-made 1990th Tantos are VERY hard-to-find nowadays in better grades.
The knife is about 14-1/2″ / 36.8 cm overall; AUS8A stainless alloy blade is about 9” / 22.8 cm. Original factory edge is razor-sharp; the tip is intact; a few hairline scratched from going in-and-out of sheath are noted for accuracy.
Rubberized diamond-checkered handle with a solid stainless “tsuba” guard and pointed “crusher” pommel. The handle is solid; all parts are tight with no play. Ricasso is acid-etched COLD STEEL INC / VENTURA CALIF. on one side; MADE IN JAPAN on the other. Original JAPAN marked early-style black leather sheath is in great shape; all parts are intact. This Magnum Tanto IX set is in excellent overall condition, considering the age; you will not be disappointed.
This rare 1990s Cold Steel Japan Magnum Tanto IX fighting knife is hard-to-find these days; don’t miss your chance to add tis beauty to your collection! This handsome Cold Steel Japan Magnum Tanto IX has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way, it is in 100% original “as is” condition; these are the actual photos. I have a few scarce WW1 and WW2 bayonets, fighting knives, daggers and trench knives available for sale – please take a look in my store’s Militaria section.
