Hello guys,
Can anyone explain me why Cold Steel fixed blade knives have different markings? For example my Tai Pan shows "Cold Steel Made in Japan" on one side of the blade and "TAI (four diamond sign) PAN VG-1 SAN MAI III (three dashes) registered trademark" on the other side of the blade. I bought the knife for something about 500 US dollars at one of the most leading and reputable UK dealerships. Three layers of San Mai III steel are also visible on the blade for the full length.
Here is an another Cold Steel Tai Pan San Mai III from the U.S. dealership in this video review and it has another markings. "Cold Steel" (without Made in Japan) on one side and Tai Pan with different markings on another.
