Tai Pan Dagger 3V, Sharp Steel CST-13P

Japanese San Mai® blades have been a Cold Steel® staple for decades. Coveted by martial artists and knife collectors alike, they are still in high demand, but these luxury fixed blades are only produced in very limited quantities.

With this in mind, Cold Steel® created the Nightfall Series , crafted with the same level of quality and attention to detail as Cold Steel's Japanese classics, but swapping out San Mai for premium American CPM 3V powdered super steel.

Each of these tough, reliable blades features a Kray-Ex grip and a blade that is honed to an incredibly sharp edge. They all come complete with a Secure-Ex sheath.

2020 Model : The 3V Tai Pan® with stonewashed blade replaces the discontinued DLC coated version (product No. CST-13Q).

CPM 3V Steel
Although expensive, this modern tool steel is astonishingly tough and exceptionally wear-resistant. It is a fine-grained powder steel, with a very uniform microstructure that gives it excellent impact resistance and fine edge-holding performance, making it perfectly suited for larger blades where extreme hardness is required.
