This is the same post I put up in the Camillus Forum.
If you guys haven't ordered one you're missing out on something really wonderful in the world of knives!!!!
:
I want to thank Camillus, Rob Simonich and Bladeforums.com for one sweet lovely little
knife!!!!
I can't say enough good about it!!!!
I have long admired the Talon, but it was a bit beyond my reach in price no matter how good it may be in Talonite®, but now I have a fine example in excellent steel!!!!
The Talon right out of the box was hair poppin sharp and of course slices paper with ease.
The fit and finish are excellent, the lines are crisp and clean,
and the kydex scabbard fits perfectly. It seems a little loose when first putting the knife in and withdrawing it, but I believe it's the most excellent care used in the manufactureing and fitting of the knife and scabbard that makes it feel that way.
I don't believe that it's in any way insecure.
I checked the thickness right at the edge bevel and mine comes in from 0.025 to 0.030, nice and thin
and superbly ground.
This is the finest example of any production knife I have ever seen bar none. It even beats some high level customs I have seen.
I believe Camillus has raised the bar of excellence in the world of production knives if they are all as expertly done as this one!!!!!!!
And if this is an example of the knives Camillus routinely makes it won't be my last, besides I have an EDC coming as well.
Great job was done by all and you've won a new customer and fan!!!!
