Cold Steel Kyoto II Fixed Blade – CS17DBBKBK

Cold Steel Kyoto II Fixed Blade – CS17DBBKBK

Discover the perfect blend of subtlety and power with Cold Steel’s compact fixed blade knives — expertly designed for those who demand exceptional cutting strength without the bulk or attention of larger blades. These knives are the ultimate stealth companions, crafted to offer remarkable cutting and thrusting capabilities, all wrapped in an understated, elegant design that flies under the radar.

Although Cold Steel is famed for their hefty fixed blades, these smaller blades are a game-changer for anyone who values discretion alongside functionality. The Kyoto-style knives, in particular, showcase a clever balance: their modest size and innocuous look rarely attract unwanted glances, yet they deliver an impressive performance that belies their sleek profile. Choose between traditional or reinforced point blade designs — both packing enough power to tackle various cutting tasks with ease.

What sets these knives apart is their robust construction. Each blade is stout, featuring a wide, full tang that extends the entire length of the handle, ensuring outstanding durability and balance. The stainless steel guard offers added protection for your hand, while the Kray-Ex handle surface, textured for high traction, mimics the timeless appeal of classic cord-wrapped Japanese sword grips. This not only enhances control but also gives the knife an elegant, traditional aesthetic.

Portability and convenience are key, and the knife’s slim, comfortable Secure-Ex sheath is designed to keep it secure, yet easily accessible. Whether you prefer using a bead chain lanyard or Cold Steel’s versatile C-Clip system, you can carry your knife your way — clipped to your belt, worn around your neck, or attached to gear.

Small in size but big in performance, these knives are ideal for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or any situation where precision and reliability matter without making a scene.
