I think... by the price probably it couldn't be made in USA.** A: Some of their stuff, I think, is made in the US, but a lot of it is made over seas. Fortunately, the owner (the round guy with a lot of enthusiasm) is very specific and demanding about what becomes a "Cold Steel" product, and allegedly has visited some of his overseas manufacturers to ensure that what they are making is in line with his desire to make strong, powerful, truly functional swords and knives. So yea, I a lot of their stuff is made in economically favorable countries, but their deal is making sure you get a high quality item that is cheaper than Made In The USA products, while still being better than a lot of the other stuff out there (if you don't mind the extra weight and thickness of Cold Steel products). Over all, their stuff is great. If they release a lemon, the Internet will let you know.EDIT: I have the Tanto Spike too. Sadly, this knife is not really what Cold Steel is all about. I believe it is 440 stainless actually some 41xx something german stainless) , which is an industry standard, but you can't use this knife like you'd use other Cold Steel products. Personally, I was waiting for my idiot brother to unlock the car door, I lost patience, so I took out my Tanto Spike and tossed it into the ground, just to do something purposeful like work on my knife throwing skills. Retrieving it, I realized I hit a stone, and the tip was completely mushroomed. I wrecked the point in a bad way. One stone, 440 steel didn't stand a chance. So yea, I wish my Tanto Spike was in Carbon-V, even if it had to be thicker and heavier than the original. HEY COLD STEEL: Make this wonderful knife in CV, please, thank you. **Q: Any of you use this as a throwing knife?** A: The balance on this knife is not ideal for throwing. You would run the risk of giving your opponent a weapon to use on you. Not a good idea to run the risk of throwinf this knife. **Q: What is the blade length and overall length?** A: Maybe 8 inches One of the greatest light weight knives ever made Literally razor sharp be careful -hiker with over 700 miles carries this knife **Q: How rust resistant is this knife? Considering taking one scuba diving and saw this was stainless** A: It is stainless, hasn't rusted on me and my blades tend to rust, cause I put them away diving. I do feel that rust is not going to be the issue when diving but the sheath's retention in water. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on March 6, 2015* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on April 12, 2026* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***R on October 17, 2014* ## Frequently Bought Together - COLD STEEL Tanto Spike Durable Lightweight German 4116 Stainless Steel 4" Fixed Blade Tactical Outdoor Hunting Neck Knife, Textured Griv-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath - Cold Steel C-Clip Small (Pack of 2), Black - Cold Steel Bowie Spike Durable Lightweight German 4116 Stainless Steel 4" Fixed Blade Tactical Outdoor Hunting Neck Knife, Textured Griv-Ex Handle, Secure-Ex Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3337283-cold-steel-tanto-spike-durable-lightweight-german-4116-stainless-steel](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/3337283-cold-steel-tanto-spike-durable-lightweight-german-4116-stainless-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
