Hello, I was wondering if anyone here can provide an x-rayed tang of a cold steel knife with kraton handles. I've contacted customer service regarding the matter and they can't provide it at the moment. Im very curios if the tang has a radius or a 90 degree angle. Also are the tangs heat treated a in the soft side to combat breakage?
 
The latest Trailmaster and Recon Scout are supposed to be radiused. I don't know about any of their other Kraton handled knives. I don't know about the heat treat of the tangs. Hopefully someone from CS can answer that when they get back from IWA.
 
The tangs are nor radiused. At not the trailmaster and recon scout tang pictures I have seen.
 
I spoke to the guys at Cold Steel and they advised the Trail Master and Recon Scout have been radiused for the past two years. I know I haven't seen a single broken one since the change.

I looked at some of the past threads and photos and it seemed that the tangs were radiused and the tang failures didn't really originated from the radiused angle. hopefully the cold steel rep. here can double check with manufacturing to see if the tangs has differential heat treat as the cold steel customer service in Ventura ca. couldn't provide
