Its 5.5" Kray-Ex handle offers ergonomic, non-slip grip enhanced by a steel double quillon guard for safety. Weighing just 10.8 oz and paired with a Secure-Ex sheath, this knife is engineered for professionals who demand reliability, precision, and style in every cut. ## Description COLD STEEL TAI PAN VG-10 SAN MAI FIXED BLADE KNIFE: Like its serpent namesake, the Tai Pan is aggressively fast and deadly. Designed by Lynn C. Thompson in the distinctive "Tanto" style, the Tai Pan embodies all the best features of a classic dagger while minimizing its shortcomings. Most daggers are notorious for having thin, fragile points that are easily broken. In contrast, the Tai Pan features a sturdy spear point which is wide and thick enough to resist breaking without compromising its ability to offer deep, effortless, penetration. The blade is made from superior VG-10 San Mai steel that provides superior edge-holding ability while still being able to withstand impact and lateral stresses. To keep the user's fingers from sliding forward onto their keen edge, the Tai Pan comes with a solid steel double quillon guard. The handle is made of deeply checkered Kray-Ex. To carry the Tai Pan knife safely and conveniently, each blade comes complete with a sturdy and versatile Secure-Ex sheath. FEATURES: - VG-10 San Mai steel spear point blade; - Kray-Ex Handle; - Secure-Ex Sheath. SPECS: Weight: 10.8 oz (306.2 g); Blade Thickness: 5 mm; Blade Length: 7.5"; Handle Length: 7.5"; Overall Length: 13". Review: BUY. THIS. KNIFE. or Yeah, the price is too good to be true but hey kids, This Is The Real Thing! - 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.

The total cutting length is 7 inches. And yes it is full tang. The ONLY way to get 7 1/2 blade length is to measure below the guard which makes no sense, otherwise 7 3/8ths. This is an OUTSTANDING knife and one of my favorites. However. This is NOT a backpacking survival knife, or a wood working knife, or even a kitchen knife although it really cuts meat. The sheath is set up for any carry, belt, gear, what have you and well designed and made. Blade is amazing as are the handle and butt cap. Typical great Cold Steel quality for this style. This is a self defense, carry (depending on the laws in your State or country), or collectors knife. As it is a hollow grind being foolish with its use will make you make a sad face. Again I cannot say how much I like this knife, fit, finish, balance, feel, edge, steel used, grip quality, all outstanding. I hope this helps. **Q: Where is it made?** A: Made in Taiwan will be good quality. Made in China will be inferior steel. I had to look through very many Seal Pup knives before finding one made in Taiwan.......there is a difference. **Q: What type of steel does it have?** A: To the person that said this cheaply made….you’re wrong. They have great knives and use good materials. You’re getting your facts mixed up on where junk is made. Cold steel has a good reputation in the knife collecting community **Q: I ordered my knife from abcd sales is it going to be authentic?** A: It should be, if not Amazon will refund your money on return. They won’t tolerate Cold Steel fakes being sold. I have the same knife and got it on Amazon for $128.00 a smoking deal and authentic too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BUY. THIS.

So sharp and perfectly balanced. You can actually balance it on 1 finger just below the guard. San Mai blade is beautiful. Probably a show piece and not something I'll use much but for less than 200 bucks it's a bargain and will be a nice decoration on my wall somewhere and to play around with. ## Frequently Bought Together - 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 - COLD STEEL Recon Tanto 7" SK-5 Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Kray-Ex Handle Military Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath - COLD STEEL SRK 6" VG-10 San Mai Clip Point Razor-Sharp Blade 4.75" Kray-Ex Handle Tactical Fixed Blade Knife w/Secure-Ex Sheath --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/67524609-tai-pan-7-5-vg-10-san-mai-spear-point](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/67524609-tai-pan-7-5-vg-10-san-mai-spear-point) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
