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 Tai Pan's razor sharp twin edges offer twice the potential cuts, slashes and locks of a single edged knife. When used with skill, the Tai Pan can cut a 180 arc up or down or from side to side with devastating effect.
The balance point of the Tai Pan is just behind the guard for a slightly "handle heavy" feel that is ideal for making insertions yet remains "lively" in the hand.
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.
Meticulously fashioned from 300 series stainless steel, the traditional style tsuba and bolster offer both added safety and beauty. The Tai Pan's butt terminates in a tapered, semi-pointed pommel to maximize the effect of even the slightest blow.
