Cold Steel Kyoto II Fixed Blade OD – CS17DAODSW

Experience the perfect blend of power, discretion, and craftsmanship with Cold Steel’s Kyoto fixed blade knives. While large fixed blades are undeniably impressive in cutting and piercing, their size often brings unwanted attention. The Kyoto knife defies this by combining the stealth of a compact blade with the formidable strength and precision you’d expect from Cold Steel, making it an ideal everyday companion for those who demand top-tier performance without the showiness.

Crafted in two blade styles—traditional and reinforced point—these knives pack remarkable cutting and thrusting capability into a surprisingly small package. Don’t let their modest size fool you: these blades are engineered for serious tasks, whether you’re carving, slicing, or piercing. Inside, the knives feature stout, robust blades with wide, full tang construction that runs the entire length of the handle, ensuring unmatched strength and durability with every use.

The ergonomically designed handle, wrapped in high-traction black Kray-Ex, offers a secure grip even in wet or slippery conditions, while its aesthetic nods to classic Japanese sword craftsmanship, evoking elegance alongside functionality. The stainless steel guard not only adds to the knife’s sturdiness but also provides safety and control during delicate maneuvers.

Carrying this powerhouse is effortless and versatile. The slim, lightweight sheath is designed with Secure-Ex material for durability and fast access. It accepts a bead chain lanyard or the innovative Cold Steel C-Clip system, letting you carry your knife exactly how you want—whether clipped to your belt, hung around your neck, or tucked away discreetly. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast, a martial artist, or a daily urban adventurer, the Kyoto knife delivers reliable performance in an unassuming, stylish package.
