Cold Steel Tai Pan CPM 3V Dagger
A tactical knife with a Full Tang construction, designed by Lynn C. Thompson, founder and CEO of Cold Steel. The blade, featuring a Spear-Point profile, is made of CPM-3V powder-coated steel, which is highly resistant to wear. The blade has a satin finish. The black handle is made of Kray‑Ex material with a non-slip texture. The set includes a Secure‑Ex sheath, which allows for convenient carrying of the knife on a belt or attached to other gear.
CPM-3V powder steel
The blade is made of CPM 3V powder-coated steel, which, although not stainless steel, offers good corrosion resistance. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58–61 HRC, providing a balance between strength, durability, and ease of sharpening.
Satin-finished Spear-Point blade
The double-edged blade with a Spear-Point profile is 190 mm long and 5 mm thick. It features a smooth cutting edge with a hollow grind. The blade’s geometry ensures excellent piercing capabilities while maintaining high strength. The blade has been finished using the satin finish method, which gives the surface a semi-matte appearance and minimizes glare.
Kray-Ex grip with a non-slip texture
The knife's black handle is made of Kray-Ex with a deep texture, ensuring a secure grip even with wet or dirty hands. The knife features a full-tang construction with the blade tang running the entire length of the handle, which is only slightly narrower than the handle itself. The disc-shaped cross guard prevents fingers from slipping onto the blade. The handle is topped with a steel pommel, which can serve as a glass breaker and an improvised field tool. Additionally, there is a hole in the handle for threading a safety cord or lanyard.
Secure-Ex system sheath
The sheath included with the knife in the Secure-Ex system is made of a lightweight, durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions. The sheath holds the knife securely in place thanks to a custom-fit opening and a snap-fastening loop, which prevents it from accidentally falling out. The loop allows the sheath to be attached to a belt, and numerous holes and grommets enable multi-position attachment to a belt or other pieces of gear.

Secure-Ex
Secure-Ex is a system developed by Cold Steel, designed for the safe storage and convenient carrying of knives and tools. Sheaths made with this technology are lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making them suitable even for intensive use. They hold the knife securely in the sheath while allowing for quick and smooth draw. The system has a modular design - the sheaths can be supplemented with various fasteners, such as buckles, clips (e.g., C-Clip) or ball chains. This allows the knife to be worn on a belt, around the neck, or in other configurations, according to the user's preferences.
Kray-Ex
Kray-Ex is a synthetic polymer with a rubber-like structure used by Cold Steel to manufacture knife handles. It is characterized by high adhesion and anti-slip properties, ensuring a secure grip even in high humidity, low temperatures, and with dirty hands. The material is flexible and absorbs shocks well, which increases comfort of use. Kray-Ex is also resistant to cracking, abrasion, chemicals, and adverse weather conditions, making handles made of this material durable and virtually maintenance-free. Cold Steel uses it in tactical, survival, and utility knives.
CPM 3V
CPM 3V is a premium powder tool steel produced by Crucible Industries, known for its high resistance to impact, fracture, and wear. It contains 0.8% carbon, 7.5% chromium, and additions of molybdenum (1.3%), vanadium (2.75%), manganese (up to 1%), and silicon (up to 1%) additives, which improve wear resistance and structural stability. After heat treatment, it achieves a hardness of 58-61 HRC, providing a balance between strength, durability, and ease of sharpening. Although CPM 3V is not stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance and is widely used in the manufacture of military, survival, and hunting knives. It is suitable for intensive use in harsh conditions, combining high wear resistance, better ductility, and longer edge retention compared to other tool steels.
Satin
Satin finishing is one of the most popular blade finishes, achieved by grinding the steel with fine-grained abrasives. Parallel micro-scratches remain on the surface, giving the knife a technical, matte appearance. Satin finishing has both aesthetic and practical significance - a smoothed blade is easier to clean, and the slightly reduced friction promotes smoother cutting. Depending on the direction and intensity of polishing, different effects are achieved - from a matte finish to an almost mirror-like finish. Satin is valued in both utility and collector's knives because it emphasizes the structure and quality of the steel while maintaining functionality.
