I am not sure why it took me so long to get a Cold Steel Tai Pan dagger, but it's been at least 25 years of yearning heartache. With the new 3V version coming out (and quite expensively) the VG-10 San Mai versions have seemed more within reach (for a knife that will never get use, if all goes well). The quad hollow ground bevels are bellied nicely for slashing while the tip is wickedly penetrative. It has an aluminum guard and skull crushing pommel with a grippy tapered kraton handle. This dagger is as sweet as I always thought it would be and is a joy to have in my collection of Cold Steel Knives.

Not a huge dagger fan… BUT that piece is AWESOME!!!
Great video ,great dagger here ! I could be wrong ,but I think a MASTER tanto is made of San Mai steel ; if it is not laminated steel it is a "regular" tanto .
Like 'em or hate 'em, the Cold Steel monsters always make one pay attention. (I like 'em.) This phenomenal grouping is making today's fixie hip carry look like a nail file in comparison. (Grabs twin 7.5" SK-5 trench knives for the second half of video.) There, now I've got some BKE (Big Knife Energy!) ⚔
Happy Sunday amigo. That one looks pretty sweet 👍👍
What a coincidence. I had wanted one of these for decades but never got one and I recently took the plunge, just like you related. I made certain to get the San Mai instead of the 3V for "authenticity". I love it.
Haha! It's about time we both got this beauty in our collections!
Mine is on the way as we speak... Can't wait!!! Great video...
I waited 40 years for the real rambo knife by V.Neeley of Lile knives. $2100.00. A work of art. He finished it for me in November. I love yours. Sometimes things are worth the wait.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks for showing it 🔪👍
I got my 3V Natchez Bowie for $400.00 on Midway. I love it and I think it's well worth $400 but I wouldn't have paid $540 for it.
The Tai Pan is sweet! 👍
I use this beauty to open my bills.
I know it is kinda impractical but I use my cold steel colichemarde dagger to open my mail sometimes, other times I use a teeny tiny practically toothpick size friction folder that has a not super sharp edge to open letters with, I like using that one because the blade is just enough to slip under the seal and long enough to get a decent start on the opening too
They are so bada$$ Taipan, love that brass master tanto.
I bought the San mai version and it had a perfect grind on both sides. I loved the knife so much I decided to get one in 3V and the grind on that one was so jacked up and off center. The center line was not straight and completely missed the center of the tip on both sides. The center line was also washed out and not crisp. There were hazy spots in the steel and it was not polished correctly at all. It’s like they grabbed a random person off the street and brought them in to grind the knives. Possibly hired an 8 year old to do the grinds.
That Randell Dagger is phenomenal and the
Tai Pan is also ,but I have to admit the Randell is King 👑
I own the Tai Pan San Mai and
Tai Pan 3v the new version although I wanted the DLC coated model ,the
Bill Harcey Dagger 🗡️ look outstanding as well like it can take a whipping and keep on going.
It would be nice if coldsteel or whoever owns them could give the buyer an option of either the cheap ass plastic sheath or a better quality leather or ballistic nylon one.
7:10 Sweet pair.
Nice collection and video. The Tai Pan is still on my wishlist after 25 years also, someday maybe.
I have the Tai Pan made in Japan with the made in Japan leather sheath. I love it.
I’m so genuinely happy for you bob! The tai pan is such a cool knife...I’m doing it man I’m gonna get it lol hopefully by the next live you do I’ll have some updated news lol aloha and blessings from Hawaii 🤙🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 808!!
I love mine!
Very cool. I have a Magnum Tanto XII San Mai steel 12" . Makes me smile when I hold it.
I have this knife in CPM-3V. Up here in the rocky mountains this is part of my every day carry along with two Hellcat 9mm sidearms, a leatherman, a CKRT Big Dog pocket knife, a bic lighter, a ferro rod, and a flashlight. You city slickers wouldn't understand. The number one most important piece of gear is your bic lighter, you wouldnt last three days in the mountain wilderness without it. This knife is for wolves, mountain lions and wolverines that will jump on you before you can draw your sidearm. I will never go anywhere here in the mountains without this gear unless im in an area where its illegal.
City slicker here but I totally understand. I grew up out in the sticks and I very much wish I could carry a nice blade on my belt without people flipping out. I’m 50 now but a part of me is still the kid that would spend days tromping through the woods with my .22 rifle and a ka-bar on my belt.
Talking about carrying a double edged knife for wolves cougars and wolverine attack makes you sound like a city slickers that knows nothing about the rockies.... 😂
City slicker here. R u still alive?
Always wanted this one.....too expensive 😪
Just ordered mine!
$160 at my LGS, so thinking on it, Bob. Sweet! 👍🗡️👊
Nice knife and collection, need to add the EK
Wow ! The perfect weapon against zombies hordes ! One day this dagger gonna be mine .
This dagger is gorgeous, double edge, normal dagger ground, not chisel ground on one side like some other
Cold Steel dagger models are made!!!
This is definitely a gorgeous dagger. I remember when I first got into knives, all the cold steel catalogs were still available online, and I caught wind of the VERY limited Imperial Tai Pan which to this day I think is one of the most gorgeous knives I've seen. Just out of curiosity, have you every handled the Honshu dagger?
They recently released a D2 and VG10 version as well.
I bought the honshu to use the leather sheath for my taipan fits perfectly
I just looked up pictures of the Imperial Tai Pan, man you're right, that knife is, or was, a freaking work of art.
Very nice Blade! I do have the FGX Version scattered around the house and in the shower. I know. Crazy.
We have the FGX Tiger Claw in our shower, it's not crazy. It's totally normal.
The tai-pan shape of blade has been around for around a thousand years or more, check out the shape of the spears used in Japan, same shape!
The bolsters are stainless steel, 300 type series steel. But i hate the sheats, made out of glass filled nylon that scratches and dulls the edge. the sanmai makes it 20% stronger than the 3v blade. When it comes to sideways stress and it wont brake and alot better in the cold too.
Sweet blade ...good review 😘 ...u got me looking at CS fixed blades... some are under 40$ 😊
Try Goo Gone on that Trailmaster Bowie to remove the sapp. 📸⚔️📸
Came home to a old school vaquero
Whats sharper out the box this or your model 2?
Would this be too large to attach to a backpack strap
Tai pan VG10,mam verzi V3,je o trochu drazsi a rikaji ze je o trochu kvalitnejsi.Kdyz na to tak koukam,zda se mi tento Tai pan VG10 vcelku zajimavy!Mam z VG10 Tanto magnum San mai XII a je to krasny kousek🙂!
.... chances are there WILL be someone like that in the very near future...
Grail knife for me
Had too watch video 2nd time ❤ bad mama jama 😮
Well I just got this knife and first time in the sheath took the edge off. It is the worst fitting sheath I've ever felt by a long shot and can't be adjusted. Just go straight to a custom sheath. Trust me!
Yeah those Securex sheaths are notorious for filling blades.
@@TheKnifeJunkie shameful they keep using it
Where is it made you keep moving it to fast to see.. damn dude
Il montre pas l épaisseur de la lame
If I carry any of these knives will the police shoot me?😊
This knife is a joke.
I love it
I want the Cold Steel Tai Pan, Master Tanto, and Magnum Tanto but I can’t justify buying any of them. They’re beautiful, absolutely beautiful. But I don’t really carry fixed blades. (What I actually carry is the Cold Steel Code 4.) But I still want those big, awesome fixed blades!
Hello, in this video is this the 3V Steel ?
Hello, my english is very bad. My question, os this PanTai in this video the 3v steel and what tip is penetrater, from.3v or san mai. What Steel should i buy ?
It's San Mai steel in this video. I suggest you to buy 3V steel version. However, 3V steel needs to pay attention to rust prevention. At the same time, the nylon-glass fiber sheath from cold steel will blunt your dagger blade because the sheath material is too hard. I suggest you buy another sheath made by KYDEX or leather
@@zhangzisheng1057 thank you very much
