Has anyone got the Taiwan san mai recon tanto?

[Hermit_Knight]

Hey all I had one of the Taiwan san mai recon tantos for a few days and sold it without really testing it out I think I need one I regret selling it. Has anyone got one? If so what are your thoughts on the fit and finish? Did it come sharp? One of my Taiwan tai pans was dull and the other sharp. Thanks guys.

i can't say much for the recon tanto, but i recently (last six months) bought the taiwanese master tanto and taiwanese tai pan both in san mai. fit, finish, and sharpness in both knives seemed to be every bit as good as the japanese ones, which was a pleasant surprise. the only thing i can't get over is the new cold steel logo and the fact that it says made in taiwan. other than that, they seem to be great
