Kobun
- The Kobun® is a lightweight Tanto styled boot knife.
- It takes its namesake from the Japanese martial, or underworld where the word “Kobun” means “soldier”.
- It’s a fitting name for a knife like the Kobun®, which was effectively designed to be “a good soldier”.
- In profile it closely resembles our Master Tanto, but it sports a thinner blade, and that supports its main function; to be a light weight boot knife.
- Like our Tantos, it features the Tanto styled reinforced point.
- This contrasts sharply with most boot knives on the market today which are notorious for their paper thin points which are easily broken or bent.
- In contrast, the Kobun’s® point is highly resistant to bending or breaking because it is reinforced by the full thickness of the blade’s spine which runs almost to the very tip of the blade.
- The Kobun’s® deeply checkered Kraton® handle is designed to offer minimum bulk with maximum grip.
- Its cross section was made as thin as possible (approximately 1/2 inch), then contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand.
- The Kobun® comes complete with a Secure- Ex® sheath.
