Our Japanese San Mai III blades have been a Cold Steel staple for decades. Coveted by Martial Artists and knife collectors alike, they are still much in demand, but these luxury fixed blades are only produced in very limited numbers.With this in mind, we created the Nightfall Series - Made with the same level of quality and attention to detail as our Japanese classics but trading San Mai for premium American CPM 3-V powdered super steel. The CPM 3-V Tai Pan features a highly wear-resistant DLC (diamond like) coating, and honed to a screamingly sharp edge.

Cold Steel, Incorporated was founded in 1980, a company dedicated to making the strongest, sharpest knives in the world. Over the last three decades, Cold Steel has been at the forefront of the many innovations that have helped to define the knife industry as a whole. Progressive accomplishment, including the introduction of the checked Kraton handles, and the tanto point blade styles have gone from curiously interesting features to industry-wide hallmarks of quality and sophistication. New ground was also broken with the introduction of unique new blade steels like San Mai III and Tri-Ad Lock& locking mechanism for folding knives. Tri-Ad Lock for example, has never been equaled by any of Cold Steel's competitors and nothing they have produced yet has been proven to outperform it. Of course Cold Steel will always look to the future, constantly striving to make the world's strongest, sharpest knives. That goal as elusive and difficult to achieve as it is, has been the same for the past thirty years..
