San mai recon tanto or tai pan?

Hello I have the opportunity to only get one of the new san mai offerings and it’s for purely collecting purposes, I am torn between the tai pan and the recon tanto what would you guys choose? cheers!

Tai Pan! It's my favorite production dagger. Love the design, great balance and well made.

Yeah I’m leaning toward it and I’m guessing it will be worth more then the recon tanto 20 years down the road. Not that I would actually sell it haha.

Taipan(I will be picking one up), but with the prices I am hearing you should be able to afford both.

Hopefully but I live outside the USA so the prices are almost double to what you may pay there. I chose the Tai Pan on pre order it looks too good not to get now I’m wandering when it will actually be out?

I like both knives but if I could only choose one it would be the Tai Pan.

Another vote for taipan.
It never fails to raise eyebrows!

I'll also vote for the Tai Pan. I've always had a thing for daggers, and the Tai Pan is definitely a modern classic in that field.

Tai Pan.

It's probably the nicest production dagger around.
