The Cold Steel Black Talon II (brand part no. 22BS) is a modern reinterpretation of one of Cold Steel’s most distinctive folder designs, born from a collaboration between Cold Steel president Lynn C. Thompson and custom knife maker Andrew Demko. Its sinuously curved, needle-sharp blade keeps the down-swept point and pronounced belly of the original Black Talon, now built from high-end American S35VN super-steel with a redesigned tip for added strength and durability. This serrated version bites into fibrous material with authority, making it a strong choice for rope, webbing, and general hard-use cutting tasks. Textured premium G-10 scales offer maximum retention in cold or wet conditions while staying easy on clothing when drawn from the pocket.
