Won't ship to Brooklyn! :-( Odd because NYC law allows pocket knives with blades under 4".

There is only 0.5% Carbon in 4034. Soft steel. Hard pass.

A relatively soft steel (this is 52 to 56 HRC) may need to be sharpened it frequently, but the soft metal is incredibly easy to maintain.

Pick your poison.

Sorry, 0.5%, I fat-fingered the decimal earlier. At .05% you'd be wielding a stick of butter. laugh out loud

This isn't a horrible deal, especially if you enjoy sharpening. A lot. Just not a deal for me.

btw: Cold Steel also sells Warcraft Tantos on Ebay. (Using 4034 steel of course, so if you buy one be sure to rebuild your edge after every 5th orc slain.) Wink

Amazon is likely reading/reporting the overall length as the blade length, which is incorrect.

Overall length is 4.375", which, if read as the blade length, would be too large.
