Master Collection The Golden Dragon Tanto | SHOGUN

The Golden Dragon Tanto – A reliable pocket knife with a unique dragon design

The Golden Dragon Tanto by Master Collection is a striking pocket knife that combines functionality with an artistic design. This spring-assisted knife is ideal for EDC (everyday carry) and collectors who appreciate tanto-style blades. The black aluminium handle with embossed dragon print makes this knife instantly recognisable.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend camping trip, we noticed how smoothly the spring-assisted mechanism works. The knife opens quickly with one hand, which is convenient for cutting rope or opening packaging. The dragon embossing provides extra grip, although it can feel a bit slippery in wet conditions.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The 8.89 cm long tanto blade is made from 3Cr13 steel – an entry-level steel that can be sharpened easily and remains reasonably rust-resistant. It cuts effortlessly through cardboard, food, and light wood. For heavier use, we recommend a knife with harder steel, but for daily tasks this pocket knife performs excellently.

Grip and ease of use

The 11.43 cm long aluminium handle fits comfortably in medium-sized hands. The linerlock securely locks the blade during use – easy to operate with your thumb. The dragon embossing provides extra grip, although the texture is fairly smooth. The pocket clip keeps the knife securely in place.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

Perfect for beginners looking for an affordable EDC pocket knife or collectors who appreciate unique designs. The tanto blade makes it suitable for precision work. Less ideal for bushcrafters who need heavier tools, but excellent for everyday use in the city.

Maintenance and durability

The 3Cr13 steel requires little maintenance – occasional wiping and light oiling is sufficient. The satin-finished blade is reasonably scratch-resistant. Sharpen the knife regularly with a sharpening stone to maintain its edge. The aluminium handle is durable and will remain attractive for years.
