Cold Steel Hatamoto 20CV Folding Knife
The Hatamoto represents a refined approach to everyday carry design. This is a knife built for those who demand both performance and reliability in a compact package.
Blade and Steel
The 4-inch tanto-style blade is forged from 20CV stainless steel, a premium powder metallurgy steel that delivers exceptional edge retention and toughness. The tanto profile—with its distinctive angular point—excels at piercing and controlled cutting tasks. This steel holds its edge longer than conventional stainless options while remaining relatively easy to maintain.
Handling and Operation
The liner lock mechanism provides secure blade retention and enables confident one-handed opening and closing. Carbon fiber handle scales offer a lightweight yet durable grip that remains comfortable during extended use. At 10 inches overall length and just 6.7 ounces, the Hatamoto carries without burden while delivering substantial cutting capability.
Practical Design
This is a working knife, not a showpiece. The balanced proportions make it equally at home in a kitchen drawer, a tackle box, or a backpack. Whether you're opening packages, preparing food, or handling camp tasks, the Hatamoto performs with quiet competence.
A reliable tool for those who appreciate quality without pretense.
