Where's the Talonite in the TNT?

[Walking Man]

Hello, everyone.
Is anyone else really confused by the Buck Mayo knife?
It is called TNT, right?
I understand that TNT stands for Talonite and Titanium, but this knife has no talonite in it.
I don't want to start a flamewar here, but I think there should be a little clarification.
Sorry if this question has been raised before.

Toms custom knife was a Talonite bladed knife. But the name became generic for his customs, even when they had S30V in them. So when Buck made the knife, they just used what his knife was called.

I've actually never really heard or read about anyone referring to the knife as the TnT. Everyone seems to call it the Buck/Mayo or the 172
