The Cold Steel Kobun is a lightweight boot knife that takes its namesake from the Japanese Yakuza, or martial underworld, where the word Kobun is sometimes used as an indicator of rank that suggests the word soldier, or one who takes orders from his Oyabun or boss. It is a fitting name for a knife like the Kobun, which was effectively designed to be a good soldier.
It has proven to be incredibly popular with the US-Military, where it is prized for its light weight and discreet profile as much as its durability and cutting potential.
The Kobun features Cold Steel's iconic reinforced American Tanto point, making it 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. Despite its thin profile, the Kobun's deeply checkered Kray-Ex™ handle is designed to offer maximum grip and is contoured to resist turning or shifting in the hand.
The Kobun comes complete with a Secure-Ex® sheath.
