I have the chance to try a Talonite knife, Camillus Talon. Note to Camillus, very well done, it is a great knife. I have this knife for a few weeks. To the person letting me use it thank you very much. I am just a average knife user and have used knives since I was a young boy. Btw I have no connection with Camillus or anyone else who sells knives or Talonite products.
Corrosion, This metal will not rust. This is more comforting than I thought it would be. I didn't realize how much I really took care of my knives before, wiping them off and making sure they were dry. I really like that the Talonite lets me just let it sit after cutting anything.
Edge holding. Alot has been written about this and I did not know what to expect. First thing i did with this knife is check the edge. It was very sharp, and had a great fine edge on it. My goal was to get it dull, then resharpen it. I started on cardboard boxes, I had quite a few of them. I started to cut them up in small strips, getting the most cutting out of the boxes as possible. I thought I would maybe get through half of them before I would need to resharpen. Nope, the damb thing went through them all. Ok I am on a mission now. I went and picked up a bunch more boxes. Yep it cut through all of the new ones too. How much did I cut couldn't tell you, lost count, but it was alot more than i ever want to cut in a day again. Agter cutting all of this up I went into the house and the knife would still cut a nice thin clean tomatoslice, and cut raw steak like it was nothing. Yep, the prickally freshly sharpened feeling of the edge was gone but it still cut like it was very sharp.
For the next 2 days I cut everything with this knife and it still cuts great. I cut rope PVC pipe, food and even did Steve's soda bottle thing. The knife was still cutting great. I cann't believe it. I just gave it a resharpening before I started to write this, not because it needed it but because I was anxious to do it. I first just steeled it on a smooth steel, after 4 strokes per sideit was back to the prickally feeling. Wow i was surpized. How good is the edge holding for Talonite? Who cares, it is so easy to resharpen you can train your pet dog to do it.
I have this knife for A wile longer and am going to have a Talonite knife of my onw very soon. This stuff makes a very nice blade. Is it the best, nope but what is?
