The Tai Pan™ embodies all the best features of a classic dagger while minimizing its shortcomings. Most daggers are notorious for thin, easily broken points. In contrast, the Tai Pan™ features a sturdy spear point which is wide and thick enough to resist breaking.
As with the Tanto, the Tai Pan™ features a tapered, black Kraton® handle with a unique flattened oval cross section. Over time, this material and handle shape have proven ideal at preventing the knife from shifting or turning in the hand even under the worst circumstances.

What WE have to say about the Cold Steel Tai Pan
When you hold this knife it feels very sturdy. It seems that it is strong and well made. I like double edge knives and own the Cold Steel Peace Maker, but will likely give it to my brother now that I have the Tai Pan. – Aaron W, Salt Lake City, UT
