Black Talon Ii Serrated

The Black Talon II Serrated is a collaboration between Cold Steel President Lynn C. Thompson and renowned custom knife-maker Andrew Demko, delivering a modern fixed-blade design engineered for tactical and self-defense applications. This compact, lightweight knife serves law enforcement, military personnel, and serious civilians who demand a reliable cutting tool capable of performing under high-stress conditions. The serrated edge variant adds aggressive cutting capability for materials that demand bite, including synthetic fibers, webbing, and emergency response scenarios where speed and aggression matter.

The Black Talon II features a sinuously curved, needle-sharp serrated blade that maintains the distinctive down-swept point and pronounced belly characteristic of the original design while incorporating Cold Steel's latest high-performance metallurgy. The serrated edge geometry is optimized for slicing and cutting through tough materials with minimal downward pressure, making it especially effective in emergency egress, gear separation, and combat applications. Weighing just 0.32 lbs, the compact 1.1-inch width and 2-inch blade length provide excellent portability without sacrificing cutting surface area or reach, while the overall dimensions ensure it fits seamlessly into tactical load-outs and everyday carry configurations.

This knife excels in professional duty use where both precision and aggression are valued—from law enforcement entry teams to military special operations support roles. The serrated blade is particularly suited for operators who need to process cordage, cut through vehicle safety glass interiors, or separate soft obstacles in dynamic scenarios where a plain edge might skip or bind. The Black Talon II's ergonomic profile and proven design philosophy make it an ideal backup blade or primary cutting tool for professionals who understand that edge selection directly impacts mission effectiveness and safety margins in critical situations.
