Test a Talonite® knife
I claim that Talonite® is an excellent knife material. My company developed it, we believe this and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is. We have a Talonite® Cuda from Camillus we are sending out on loan.
Two requirements: 1. This is a loan for two weeks. 2. Use this knife as you will but leave it in good shape for the next guy. Same way you do with a campsite.
Post whatever reviews you like.
Again, I also claim that this is an excellent knife. It is a real bargain at the price. I do not claim it is the world's best knife or material for every use. Talonite® is also not Stellite® for legal, chemical, production and performance reasons. Borrow a Stellite® knife and test it yourself. Decide for yourself if it is magnetic. You can chop with it. (If you needed to cut poles for shelter you could do it but it wouldn't be your first choice.) Do whatever else you wish. We trust that you know how to use a knife and the difference between use and abuse.
Rob, Will Fennell, Jim Furgal and I all agreed that we wanted to build a truly excellent knife at a good price. I think we did that. I will loan you my knife to prove it. I bought this knife retail. If you want to test a knife to destruction then buy your own.
Yes, this is 'hype'; Webster defines hype as 'sensational promotion'. If you try a Talonite® knife the odds are about 99 to 1 that you will like it and buy one. That has been the way it has been working. There is a huge and growing number of smart, sophisticated knife users who love it. You can't really appreciate it until you use it. You can buy the Talonite® Cuda from Camillus, Tom mayo is making some from Eric Wong's excellent and contest winning design or Rob Simonich can give you a list of custom makers. We will be happy to work with any custom maker who wishes.
