Knife Country, USA

Cold Steel Hatamoto Knives—a bold, high-performance folding knife series inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics and engineered for modern tactical excellence. Built with premium materials like CPM-20CV stainless steel and carbon fiber handles, the Hatamoto is a statement piece as much as it is a reliable cutting tool.

Hatamoto, meaning “guardian” or “samurai retainer,” perfectly reflects this knife’s nature: fiercely loyal, strong, and always ready for action. With its distinctive tanto blade, rock-solid linerlock, and refined handle finish, the Cold Steel Hatamoto is an ideal choice for those who demand elegance and effectiveness in one iconic folder.

Traditional Influence, Tactical Performance

The 4" tanto blade is crafted from CPM-20CV, one of the most advanced steels available. Known for its exceptional edge retention, wear resistance, and stainless properties, 20CV makes the Hatamoto ready for heavy-duty cutting, piercing, and defensive use. The sharp tanto tip enhances structural strength at the point, ideal for precision and penetration-focused applications.

With a 6" closed length, the Hatamoto delivers a full-size grip and presence, while still folding neatly for carry. The carbon fiber handle scales reduce weight without compromising durability, adding a sleek, luxurious aesthetic to a battle-ready blade.
