hi all,
I accidentally saw a Cold Steel Tanto blade photo on Internet and really want to purchase one. But I don't know which one is a better choice as I am complete new to this blade world. I buy the blade mainly for collection and maybe I will take it to hiking for self defense.
After some research, I would like to buy a Master Tanto(6") from Japan as I like its leather shield much more than the plastic one in the newest version.
1. Is Master Tanto a good choice? how is it when comparing with Kobun and Tanto lite? Seems Kobun is much lighter and cheaper... or any other recommendations (Magnum Tanto II)?
2. where can I buy a new Master Tanto (from Japan) and its leather shield? how is it compare with the current Taiwan version?
Thanks a lot!
