Very early Magnum Tanto in San Mai III. (This is a very rare San Mai III prototype of the Magnum Tanto II, IX, or the XII which first advertised the San Mai III option). The pommel and oval tsuba are 300 series stainless steel, and the blade features the raised edge spine. The original leather sheath (four rivets and Velcro fastener) shows some wear. I have added a high-quality Kydex sheath to complement its use. The razor sharp blade is 9", and the overall length of the knife is 14.5" long. I had this knife inspected, verified, and sharpened at the factory in 2016. It's extremely sharp.
Blemish: The only blemish is a few light scratches on the pommel as captured in the images. These could be easily polished out. I chose to keep this knife the way I received it.
This Magnum Tanto San Mai III prototype is highly sought after by Cold Steel collectors. In fact, any of the early San Mai III is getting scarce. The first $460.00 via PayPal takes this away. My PayPal is: JourneyProudUSMC@aol.com
