Cold Steel San Mai Tai Pan 7.5" Fixed Blade – Durable & Precision Knife

Cold Steel Tai Pan Fixed Blade Knife – 7.5" VG-10 San Mai® Spear Point

The Cold Steel Tai Pan is a premium fixed blade that combines the penetrating performance of a classic dagger with the legendary strength of Cold Steel's American Tanto-inspired engineering. Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, the Tai Pan delivers exceptional durability, precision, and cutting performance, making it an outstanding choice for collectors, outdoor enthusiasts, and users who appreciate premium craftsmanship.

The 7.5-inch spear point blade is precision crafted from Japanese VG-10 San Mai® laminated steel, featuring a razor-sharp VG-10 stainless steel core protected by durable outer layers. This premium steel construction provides exceptional edge retention, superior toughness, and outstanding corrosion resistance while maintaining remarkable cutting performance. The symmetrical spear point profile delivers excellent balance and deep penetration, while its reinforced design offers significantly greater tip strength than traditional daggers.

Unlike many double-edged knives with delicate tips, the Tai Pan features a wide, reinforced spear point engineered to resist breakage while maintaining exceptional piercing capability. The satin-finished hollow-ground bevels and contrasting line-grain blade flats highlight Cold Steel's precision grinding and premium fit and finish.

The ergonomic Kray-Ex™ handle features Cold Steel's signature flattened oval design, providing a secure, non-slip grip that resists twisting during prolonged use. Resistant to moisture, weather, and impact, the handle offers outstanding control in demanding outdoor environments. A solid steel tapered pommel enhances durability and overall balance.

A rugged Secure-Ex® sheath provides secure retention and dependable carry, keeping the Tai Pan protected and ready for use whenever needed.
