Cold Steel Tai Pan 7.5" VG-10 San Mai Spear Point Razor-Sharp Blade 5.5" Kray-Ex Handle Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath

Great Quality! First I was not sure about the plastik handle but even this has great Quality, worth the price

According to the logo on the box and the knife blade this seems to be the older version dating back before the sale of Cold Steel. This is a collector's item IMO. Very high quality and quite sharp out of the box but it could use a stropping. The sheath is a bit tight so it doesn't wiggle around but it will probably loosen up as time goes on. The logo on the other knife in the photo is the new company that bought out Cold Steel.

Un excelente cuchillo que tenía tiempo de echarle el ojo, bueno acabados y excelente filo muy recomendable

Yep, this is the real thing. I wuz worried at first 'cuz the price was so right for me, I thought I was taking a chance on getting stuck -- pun intended. But yeah, this is the real thing. It ain't a super steel, but I don't care 'bout that kinda thing. The VG-10 San Mai is good enough for anything I'm gonna do with this blade. Not that there's anything wrong with CPM 3V, but c'mon, the price is crazy and if you're honest about it, you won't know the difference. This is a fighter, not an all around hunting utility survival blade. IMHO, of course. And yeah, it's from Taiwan, but frankly, I've compared it to my Seiki City, Japan blades and it looks good. I've several vintage (to you ... I bought'em new back in the day lol) Cold Steel tanto and Bowie knives make in Seiki City and except for "Taiwan" on the blade you couldn't tell the difference. Everything is symmetrical, fit and finish is first rate and the Kraton (rubber) handle is rock solid. What. A. Deal. If I have a complaint (or quibbling, as it were) it's the edge wasn't as sharp as it could be or as sharp as most of the CS blades I've purchased since the late 1980s. No worries, a bit of polishing on some 1500 grit sandpaper and some stropping on leather and it's scary scary sharp, not just scary sharp. If you're in the market for this kind of blade -- and to be honest, you should be! lol -- BUY. THIS. KNIFE. As Stan Lee used to say, 'Nuff said! ;)

Everything's perfect on it awesome knife I recommend it to everyone
