## Description

COLD STEEL KYOTO II DROP POINT KNIFE (CS-17DB): The Cold Steel Kyoto II knife is a masterful blend of strength, functionality, and thoughtful design, tailored for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Featuring a robust drop point blade with a wide, curved edge, it excels in precision tasks like skinning and gutting while ensuring superior durability through its full-tang construction. Crafted from 8CR13MOV stainless steel, the blade balances hardness and corrosion resistance, retaining its sharp edge even under demanding conditions. Equipped with a high-traction Kray-Ex handle styled after traditional Japanese sword grips, the Kyoto II delivers a secure and comfortable hold, combining classic aesthetics with modern practicality. The knife includes a slim, versatile sheath that supports multiple carry options, from a bead chain lanyard to a Cold Steel C-Clip, ensuring convenience and accessibility in any situation. Weighing just 3.2 oz with a 3mm thick blade, a handle length of 3 3/8 inches, and an overall length of 6 3/4 inches, this fixed-blade knife is compact yet mighty, ready to tackle any outdoor challenge.

Review: Nice knife - It’s a decent knife. I like the shape, that’s more than likely why anyone is going to purchase this knife. It’s tiny, the blade is shorter than the palm of my hand, this makes it a nice size to throw in a pocket and have on hand without feeling like you’re carrying a bunch of extra things. It didn’t come sharp but it sharpens nicely and holds an edge for a while, the geometry of the blade makes it awkward to sharper though. The sheath is very tight, it locks snugly in place. I would recommend this knife if you need something small for everyday use and like the aesthetic of the blade.
Review: Cool, compact, fixed blade EDC - This must be the cutest practical tanto knife in the market. Not many fixed blades can fit so comfortably in the pocket and still offer all the utility of an everyday carry. That's mostly thanks to a 9.55cm blade that on a folding knife would need at least an 11cm handle. The handle on the Kyoto I is just 8.7cm so it's about 3cm shorter than an equivalent folding knife. The small handle is a tight fit for a full finger grip with my hands (10cm across the palm) but is perfect for a 3/4 grip with the side of my pinky up against the end of the handle still aiding in fine control. The faux tsukamaki (Japanese handle wrap) pattern on the handle is a nice touch that enhances grip security. The Kyoto I comes with a Secure-Ex sheath but without any loops or belt clips. I suppose that's fine given the price. Retention is good; I haven't been able to shake the knife out of the sheath. Given the Kyoto I's size it would work well as a neck knife or boot knife, but I think I'll add loops or a clip to the sheath for horizontal belt carry. The blade was very sharp but not quite razor sharp out of the box. I've used it for some light cutting and package opening tasks and don't currently see the need to further sharpen at the moment. Overall an interesting, useful, and fun knife that's a great value at the current price (bought at $22.29).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sharp durable small size knife cuts anything
*by D***D on August 26, 2025*

This is the second one I now own. I carry this when I handcycle, I am paralyzed and ride flat on the ground and Dogs do not like me because I am different. I hope never to need to use it but I have limited ability to protect myself. This is an extremely sharp knife be careful it will cut you easily. It is a small size but has a great fit to your hand and will cut about anything you can think of. Great price for a great tool which is well made and keeps a sharp edge.
