Well... my Mini-Talon has proven, IMHO, the extraordinary usefulness of Talonite. This stuff is simply incredible. I can cut all day long, and completely restore the edge with just a quick strop. And nothing that I cut will rust it!!! You can’t get much better than that. So I’ve decided to take the plunge and get a Talonite EDC. What can I say? I’m a Talonite junkie!!! And I’m betting that the blade geometry of the EDC will blown away even the great cutting power of the Mini-Talon.

My first exposure to quality knives was last year. I was shopping around for a good folder and went to the bookstore. I picked up a couple of knife magazines, and saw adds for the 420HC EDC. It was love at first sight, but the EDC hadn’t hit the streets yet. I picked up a couple of other folders while I patiently waited for the EDC. Okay, maybe not so patiently.

So I got an EDC as soon as they were available. That purchase led to a 154CM EDC, and then an Anniversary Edition EDC. Now I’ll be using a Talonite EDC as my….. EDC!!!! I’ve also purchased EDCs for my wife and father-in-law. I guess you could say that I have an EDC kind of family.

The EDC is just the handiest, most comfortable, most useful and dependable small folder I’ve ever used. I guess I had to have an EDC with a blade material of the same quality as the design itself.

So why didn’t I get one earlier? That’s a good question. First off, I was waiting to see what new designs Camillus had coming for 2002. I didn’t want to get a Talonite EDC, only to find out that something better was in the works. But alas, my ultimate folder didn’t come out this year; a larger Talonite EDC. The MAXX is cool, but I must have Talonite!!! D2 is awesome, but it’s just not Talonite.

Anyways…. Come on Will!!! We need a 3 ½ inch version of the Talonite EDC. Push that baby through for 2003, please!!! Oh yah. And while you’re at it, put a flipper on that baby!!! My wife, in all honesty, has a bit of a problem overcoming the strong ball detent while opening her 154CM EDC. I picked her up a Chive with the flipper, and she has absolutely no problems opening it. The EDC cries for a flipper. :D
 
Buzzy,
You are the EDC King! Don't worry, you will really like the TALONITE EDC. As I just said in another thread about EDC's with regards to your flipper wishes....we tried it, it didn't work so good.....

I don't see a larger EDC in the fore see-able future, but keep those cards and letters coming! Here is a new pic to keep you company until your gt your next EDC....

and thanks for being a customer!
 
Thanks for the pic, Will. It temporarily stopped the DT shakes. By my ineptly convoluted calculations, my Talonite EDC should arrive on Wednesday.

Hmmm..... I may neeed another pic tomorrow night to get me through 'til the package arrives. ;)
 
I have a talonite EDC on the way! I really researched this subject and feel that I have made a well informed decision.

I also would like to see a larger version, but the current version will have to do. ;)
