Cold Steel – CS35AA – Tai Pan San Mai III – Fixed Blade Knife – VG-10 Satin Dagger – Kray-Ex – Black

Description

The Cold Steel Tai Pan San Mai III, is a formidable double-edged fixed blade that merges classic combat-ready design with advanced modern materials. Designed by Lynn C. Thompson, this blade draws inspiration from traditional Japanese tanto knives while integrating the strength and thrusting capabilities of a Western-style dagger. The Tai Pan stands out with its reinforced spear point tip, offering a significant advantage over traditional daggers that often suffer from delicate, easily damaged points. Engineered for piercing, speed, and control, the Tai Pan is crafted from VG-10 San Mai steel — a laminated construction known for combining a hard cutting core with more flexible outer layers, increasing strength and corrosion resistance. This configuration enhances the blade’s resilience under stress, offering exceptional edge retention and durability in a combat or survival setting. The handle is constructed from Kray-Ex, a Cold Steel-exclusive polymer rubber that provides a secure, slip-resistant grip, even in wet or high-stress conditions. Its ergonomic shape supports a variety of grip styles, allowing for quick manipulation and control during critical operations. The included Secure-Ex sheath ensures safe storage and rapid access while on the move. Whether you are a martial arts practitioner, tactical knife collector, or survivalist, the Cold Steel Tai Pan San Mai III is a purpose-driven tool with refined performance and aesthetic appeal.
