## Description

COLD STEEL MINI TAC NECK KNIFE: Cold Steel's Mini Tac Neck Knives are so slim and lightweight that they can be comfortably worn practically 24 hours a day! The Mini Tac blade is made from Japanese AUS8A steel that is tough, corrosion resistant, with good edge holding, and easy to re-sharpen. This neck knife is available in two options: plain edge and serrated. With the rugged Secure-Ex Sheath, specially designed to snugly retain the knife while allowing a speedy draw, the Mini Tac knife can perform as a handy utility or camp blade, everyday carry knife, or rescue tool. Each Mini Tac has thin high-quality textured Griv-Ex handle scales. This feature allows them to lie flat and close against the body while still providing a positive gripping surface. When these scales are combined with an integral sub hilt they give the fingers of the hand incredible purchase and facilitate a remarkably secure grip that resists rolling or twisting. FEATURES: - AUS8A steel tanto blade; - Plain Edge / Serrated Edge options; - Griv-Ex Handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 2.7 oz (76.5 g); Blade Thickness: 2.5 mm; Blade Length: 3.75"; Handle Length: 3"; Overall Length: 6.75".

Review: Serrated is the way to go! - This is awesome! With these super budget knives, serrated is the way to go. I got the Bowie version of this knife, and sent it back for being dull. This one however, is good to go! Great edc
Review: Great for EDC but not so much as a neck knife. - The Cold Steel Mini Tac Tanto with serrated blade makes a great EDC knife, although a bit heavy for my taste in terms of a neck knife. The Tanto alone is 2.6 oz, but add the secure-ex sheath and chain and the whole unit jumps up to 4.6 oz. I would have liked for the sheath to have come with a belt mounting option like with my Columbia River Folts Minimalist Tanto (Excellent neck knife), however the sheath can accommodate both right and left handed users. The full tang knife measures 6.75 inches, and add about a half inch with the sheath, and the chain is just about 30 inches. The blade measures 3.2 inches of actual cutting surface, and is 0.1 inch (2.7mm) thick. The G-10 Griv-Ex style handle measures 3.25 inches, not 3.75 as stated on their web-site. What is great about the handle is that it is relatively flat at just 0.34 inches, actually thinner than that of the Folts neck knife. The blade is a good quality Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel and comes shaving sharp with a nice non-reflective finish, with the knife actually made in Taiwan. The knife feels well balanced and sturdy in hand with a secure grip, and though I have read a lot of complaints that it is too hard to draw from the sheath, I have not found this to be an issue with 2 inches still available to grab onto, and the scales are very grippy; you can also push off with your thumb which makes it quieter as well. The only thing I felt was a bit odd is the spacing of the jimping, but that is just being picky. Although I don't recommend it as a neck knife unless you are tall and don't mind the weight (but check out the CRKT Folts Minimalist), I do think the Cold Steel Mini Tac Tanto makes a great EDC or pack knife, and I will probably be buying the non-serrated blade as well. I hope you found this review informative and useful! If not, please leave a comment so I can do better next time. Thanks!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Boxed or blisterpacked?**
A: Boxed

**Q: Is the grip rubberized?**
A: As mentioned, it's hard plastic. It's a little rough on the hand.  I prefer a Micra handle, but this is a "last-ditch"  knife for me, so it's fine for it's use.

**Q: Dose it have a full tang**
A: Yes, it does. Built like a small tank.

**Q: The description says serrated blade (49htfs) but the picture is a non serrated blade (49htf). is the blade serrated or non serrated? thanks**
A: Non-serrated edge on mine - exactly as the picture shows.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ almost but not quite
*by T***1 on April 17, 2013*

it has a good grip. g10 handle is pretty good. good defense knife. pros- serrations and blade are sharp sheath is amazing!! good grip good quality bead chain cons- au7 steel is good though i would prefer carbon but is fine for our use hard to sharpen serrations steel gets thin in the beginning of the handle where the blade meets with the handle over all - i would recommend any one who wants a good defense knife and light utility knife (opening boxes cutting rope...etc)
