Product description

The Cold Steel Imperial Tai Pan is a rare, limited-edition premium combat dagger designed by Lynn C. Thompson. It combines tactical functionality with high-end Japanese sword-making aesthetics.Key Product SpecificationsOverall Length: 13 inchesBlade Length: 7.5 inchesBlade Thickness: 3/16 inch (approx. 4.8 mm)Weight: 10.8 ouncesCore Design & MaterialsThe Blade: Unlike most daggers that feature thin, fragile tips, the Tai Pan is engineered with a wide, robust spear point geometry that resists breaking while offering deep, effortless penetration.The Steel: The blade is meticulously crafted in true San Mai style. It features a hard stainless steel cutting core hammer-forged between two outer layers of multi-layered Damascus steel. This creates a pattern with a total of 161 layers of steel.The Handle: True to its "Imperial" designation, the traditional tactical Kraton rubber handle is replaced with premium ivory-colored genuine stingray skin (Same) wrapped in traditional Japanese silk cord.Guards & Pommel: The knife features a solid stainless steel crossguard and finishes with a subtle, tapered, semi-pointed steel skull-crusher pommel at the base.
