They look really cool! That's all I can say, as I've never handled one or anything 
They're also the best design, imo, of the "Japanese" blades.
Also, according to the video you can chop someone's head in half if their head is made out of cardboard! Actually, that's a pretty cool vid.

I've had a couple of the Tai Pan. It's an excellent, impressive dagger, and you will be surpised by its' size...It's bigger than it looks in the pictures. It's also pretty light for its' size as the blade is fairly thin.

Pozdrav, sunarodnjace. I ja namjeravam kupiti tai pan preko ebaya. Reci mi di si ga nabavio i kakav je?
pozdrav, narucio sam ga preko jednog ebay ducana koji se zove universal cutlery. preporucam ti da pogledas tamo jer su im cijene dobre. Takodjer ti preporucam da nadoplatis express mail (oko 30$) jer je meni doso za manje od tjedan dana. Sto se samoga noza tice, brutalan je. Puno je veci nego se cini na slikama i toliko ostar da se mozes obrijat s njim (doslovno). Neznam dali znas ali cold steel je od 2007. promijenio celik na Tai pan-u iz AUS8-a u bolji VG-1 (San mai 3) pa ti savjetujem da nadjes upravo taj novi zato sto puno bolje drzi ostrinu.

It's a great dagger with excellent blade geometry. Great for cutting, but strong enough to take some abuse. But I wouldn't suggest it.
I found one in a field. One of the best bits of luck I've had. I love the knife. Thin, sharp as a razor, light, has a nice balance to it. It's a very attractive piece.
Unfortunately I have not found anything to use it for. It sits in my dresser and gets admired and shown off now and again. It's awaiting a burglar.

Mine is "screaming" sharp on both sides, not all that heavy and is a very cool looking dagger,however, most places seem to have an aversion to people carrying daggers and the first LEO who spots it is going to hassle you and maybe arrest you for carrying an illegal weapon.
Check out you local law before flashing it around.

Bas gledam jednog na ebayu. Trenutna mu je cijena oko 112 USD. Mislim da je prihvatljiva. Koliko si ti platio? Jesi ima problema sa carinom? Ne mogu naci ducan universal cutlery na ebayu.
Ja sam ga platio 190$. To se mozda cini puno ali moras uzeti u obzir da u Hrvatskoj kosta vise od 2000 kn. Sa carinom nisam imao nikakvih problema a u paketu su bila 2 noza. Bacio sam oko na ebay i vidim da u universal cutlery ducanu vise nema Tai pan-a (valjda rasprodan) ali ima puno drugih ducana koji ga drze.
little girl i think that such a great piece of craftmanship like the Tai pan shouldn't be used for shaving your legs and bikini area...maybe it's just me but i think that the first thing you did is shaved your legs with it
