Durable tool - Cold Steel 3V Tai Pan Fixed Blade Knife

This tai-pan is strong and will execute tasks in a stealth manner. I do like the design of this dagger and do feel the width of the blade is one of the largest amongst similar daggers on the market. The only reason I have given this 3 stars is based on quality control. I know the materials used to create this item are great but I have returned one before due to the pommel being overturned too much as in not aligned with the handle. The second one I received still has a overturned pommel tho not as much but also is a little crooked in the machining, I am also seeing a slight degree of bend on the blade from handguard to tip so have to check more thoroughly. I know nothing is perfect but I do think the original tai-pan with VG-1 steel is better as far as collectors go. This one has some fitment issues and so should have better standards before leaving the factory, for the price it should be better.
