## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is the magnum tanto xii made?**
A: I brough my Cold steel tanto 2 in the late 80. Yes, 40 years ago. It was made in Japan.

**Q: Any of you have a sheathing issue with the tanto ii? i had to send mine back, as it would not come out of the sheath.**
A: Yes, some customers have issues with excessive OR a complete lack of retention using Secure-Ex sheaths supplied with both the Cold Steel Master Tanto and the Cold Steel Outdoorsman fixed blade knives.  I suspect it's due to Cold Steel using the identical sheath for both knives.  Take a look at any online catalog images for the Outdoorsman and you'll clearly see the Secure-Ex sheath is formed with an "American Tanto" point - despite the Outdoorsman being technically closer to resembling a trailing point.  Both have 6" blades but are not the same profile at all.

This (cost saving?) commonality means the Master Tanto may be excessively difficult to draw safely and the Outdoorsman will be flopping loose (requiring mandatory fastening of the retention strap).

As for how to remove the Master Tanto without struggling or flailing about, forget putting pressure on the grooved "thumb ramp" like you'd expect to.  Instead, flip the sheath upside down so the finger guard of the knife is visible.  Using your fingers, apply outward pressure to the open lip of the sheath until the knife can be removed or drops out of its own weight - but be careful, as the sharpened edge will be facing you!  My own recently purchased "tight as hell" Master Tanto slid out easily this way.

The solution to both a too loose Outdoorsman and a too tight Master Tanto is to get an inexpensive replacement sheath made for the Buck Special knife.  These can be found in both leather and nylon versions, and fit either Cold Steel knife very, very well, and forever fixes the too tight and too loose issues.  And, if it matters to you, both styles of Buck 119 sheaths eliminate the "battle rattle" Secure-Ex character as well.

**Q: How should the knife be sharpened?**
A: A knife of this caliber requires a professional to sharpen. My sincere suggestion is to make arrangements with Cold Steel for this task. I believe this is free, but verify.

**Q: Is this product 3V or VG-10?**
A: VG 10/.....I did not like the sheath.   Knife is great.  Remember, the San Mai steel is a "sandwich type" steel.  Harder on the outside and softer on the inside.........
