I have a Recon Tanto from like 2005. They're nice and hold up well. I'm sure it's made overseas now, but even so, if it's similar in durability, it's a good buy.

Great Googly Moogly, I ordered this bundle at $51.92 and thought THAT was a steal, now it's even less. Not all Cold Steel knives are worth whatever they charge, but these two particular blades are actually among their better current budget offerings.

I got mine delivered today, in sealed Cold Steel boxes. Both look legit to me. Kobun has the metal clip.

Kobun ships from Texas directly from Cold Steel according to the UPS notification. They are known as GSM.

I ordered from the previous deal and have received both. I don't have much experience with the larger style knife but I also own a knock-off kobun (complete with fake Cold Steel box and markings) and there's a world of difference. The one from amazon (sent directly from "GSM" in Texas as Fondgain already has noted) definitely seems legit.

Been waiting for a good set of tactical Cheese & Charcuterie knives.
Smooth = cheese
Serrated = meats
Cause I'm not just a man ... Man, I'm a tactical man 💪

Oh btw mine didn't come in a brown box. It was the retail box with a shipping label slapped on. It wasn't taped closed either. The delivery guy could have played with it and I wouldn't know.. luckily I live in a single family home away from others.

edit ordered another set. i changed the setting to come in a brown box.

Btw the knife feels sharp and sturdy.. I would definitely want one camping and or in a bug out bag. I wonder if I can mount it in my car legally in Maryland.. can't carry it just walking legally .

I ordered these on a previous deal. The blades are amazing but I find the handles way too thin. I don't have giant hands but the handles are awkward in my opinion. The blades are razor sharp and the balance seems good though.
