Cold Steel 58TMAK Mini AK-47d Tanto
Legendary Russian gun designer Mikhail Kalashnikov created the AK-47 assault rifle in 1947. Adopted by the Red Army in 1949, the rifle earned a reputation as the "people's rifle." The Cold Steel Mini AK-47 heavy-duty tactical knife pays tribute to the famed assault weapon, with a similarly rugged, economical, easy-to-operate design.Designed by knife designer Andrew Demko, the Mini AK-47 knife is built for hard and rugged use, with a hollow-ground 2-3/4-inch blade that's honed by hand until it reaches levels of sharpness usually seen on a surgeon's scalpel. The blade is made from Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel, which is vacuum-heat-treated and sub-zero-quenched for maximum toughness. The blade's black coating, meanwhile, boosts corrosion resistance, enhances cutting power, and improves edge retention.The blade is supported by Cold Steel's state-of-the-art Tri-Ad lock, which has been tested to resist shock induced by blows on the spine or over-strike that lands on the handle. The Mini AK-47 supplements the blade toughness with a rugged, rigid, and incomparably strong G-10 handle. Finally, the Mini AK-47 comes with an ambidextrous pocket clip and patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose: It allows you to draw and quickly open the knife by snagging it on the edge of a pocket, or you can use it like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy one-handed opening.SpecificationsBlade: Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel with black  coatingHandle: G-10Blade length: 2-3/4 inchesBlade thickness: 3mmHandle length: 4-3/8 inchesOverall length: 7-1/8 inchesPocket clip: Stainless pocket/belt clipWeight: 2.9 ounces
