Our original "Black Talon" was a revolutionary knife in many ways. Handmade and limited edition, it featuring a modified curved talon blade* made from Japanese San Mai steel, a sleek titanium frame with G10 scales and - for its time - a very strong locking mechanism.

@@jackalopeslim8478 he just looks at knives from a different perspective.
aww you wish you were half the person he is
@@rashid_art Lol!
@@rashid_art I carry CS to compensate for something.
Shots fired spyderco! they have decent knives but their prices are just way the hell out of control, you definitely get more bang for your buck from cold steel and the prices are honest!
Spyderco knives are for women and children
Yeah once they raised prices again alot of them just got ridiculous
You do realize the irony that this blade shape is a Spyderco design, right?
They're my two favourite companies, and i have many from both, and carry a combo of the 2 daily.
I've stated for many years online and offline, whether a purchase is for collecting, self defense, utility, or all of the above - Cold Steel gives great pound for pound value at all price points. The best thing about their products is that you really want to use them, even if certain models are costly.
Co-workers flipped out when I regularly used my $90 early version of the Recon 1 folder.
When asked why, I just told them our issued American (Klein) folders were inadequate for our uses.
The Recon 1 cut with it's AUS8A was WAY better in cutting and holding an edge and deploying/closing with heavy work gloves. It also didn't have a cheesy liner lock.
I have nothing but COLD STEEL, simply the best!
Are you my long lost brother? 😎
Yep, them and Spyderco are the 2 best knife companies for me.
@@dick_richards Agreed!
First I had a sog, then I had a benchmade, now I have nothing but cold steel
Adrian Valentine Don’t think they can compete with Albion in Terms of Sword crafting.
These demos, and Lynn Thompson's enthusiasm when talking about (about demonstrating) his products really sets Cold Steel apart from other knife manufacturers. I'm not even a big knife collector, but I occasionally find myself ordering Cold Steel products because of the brilliant marketing (of products which are themselves brilliant).
I love this style of video!
Mathew Culbertson absolutely agree, Lynn is just making it difficult to save for blade show!
Thanks Matt I’m stoked you like it.
Do you or your Brother have this knife?? I'm going to order one either tomorrow or Monday. Buddy im sold......
Old skool
Man do i ever miss this guy......
This kind of blade has alot of use in edc applications and if you use it everyday plain edge is going to be the go to for a lot of people because of the sharpen ability (of course the serrated edge is better suited in a self defense situation ;) )
I own many knives. I recently purchased this one. As soon as I opened it, held it, observed it, hadn't even cut anything with it yet, I thought this knife could be very intimidating, yet very dangerous to who ever is on the recieving end. This knife can be very utilitarian, yet a great defense tool.
Lynn the legend. People dog him for marketing but he is always honest.
Love meat cutting vids. Its the unapologetic truth of why most of us carry these types of knives. Also can i carry this blade in california? Or is it to scary and evil?
Central cali you can... no length limit
I love how Cold Steel took care of the customer demand for an upgraded steel. S35VN and CTS-XHP are both amazing steels. The designs are proven and now they have the steels to do them justice. Fantastic!
Cold steel best knife brand in the world
"You put this in your hand and your hand likes it." I love you Lynn Thompson. The tube needs more husky guys loving the fact they sell the best affordable knives on the market with some great Taiwanese steel. #huskyheadquarters from a guy who bought pants as a middle schooler at kmart in the "husky headquarters" My two extremely athletic brothers berated me for years over that. I'm now not husky but thin. Thanks cold steel for helping me shave the fat away. #lynnthompsonforpres
Johnny should've thought twice before running up on LT
Break yo self Johnny!
really hope you guys' make a Fairbairn-Sykes combat knife someday.
I agree both the 6in and 9in versions.
@Ethan Stang, agreed. I'd also love to see them offer the Naval/Marine version too, but I'm just a sucker for brass
@shared harwood close, but we want a copy of the fairbairn Sykes knife.
@shared harwood cold steel would make a 30.00 dollar version.
Look at the CS Wasp
I own both, Spyderco and Coldsteel. I find Coldsteel stronger and a better deal for the price you pay.
One thing that separates Cold Steel from the rest, to me, is how passionate Lynn is about his craft. Production knives? Sure. But they’re approved by a man who knows wth he’s talking about.
I've been a customer of coldsteel for many years ,and their the only ones who do it like they do ! As far as creativity ,craftsmanship, and purposeful folders with the most strongest locking mechanism in the world ,they have me for life!
My SD blade for over 2 years now - in XHP. Love the BT II serrated.
This knife should be named the “unzipper”
Such an amazing knife!! Really enjoy ColdSteel knives. But this is sinister!!! Love Voyagers and AK47. Because I can use them in every day use. Talon has only one use. Super intimidating!! And that s35v steel is just the best!!
I have this knife. It's just awesome - the only knife I've ever been scared of.
Fact !
Nothing a lil flex seal can't fix
Keep it coming Lynn... I can’t get enough!
I love this knife. I have two serrated Black Talon 2. Cold Steel for the win every time!
Two?
And both serrated?
That tell it all if I want to consider a slate edged one or not!
😅
You gotta respect a company that says, "yeah, we make this product, but don't buy it" lol
I have the Civillian, and I agree 100% with all your comments.
I want to know what Johnny did to deserve such treatment.
He was holding the goods, you know?
He's a commie hipster Antifa thug. Probably just stole a MAGA hat off of some girl, and, punched a conservative Christian kid. He had it comin'.
He cut up guns for Oregon PD
This thing will destroy a human...
yup, it's a real martial arts weapon.
It's uncanny - Mike Finnegan, from _Roadkill,_ could be Lynn's son... or nephew, at least!
The Black Talon 2 (serrated) is my go to 100% daily carry, should I have one blade. I have the serrated and non-serrated in S35VN and both in XHP. Out of all of the fancy, overbuilt and otherwise (extensively varied in price, size, bladesteels, materials, locks and deployment methods, etc.) blades in my admittedly oversized (overkill) collection; the BT2 has just not been surpassed as the most faithful bladed buddy. No task or material will it shy away from, pocket deployment, versatility, etc.; and a piece of defensive brilliance. So well designed. I would love to see perhaps a Lynn Thompson edition XL Black Talon, DLC coated, in XHP would be great, but S35 would be just fine. Even a DLC coated edition in standard size would be awesome.
Cold Steel has undoubtedly been the best blade for the buck, and luckily I've built a fairly impressive CS collection, not including the sjamboks and sticks and so on. It is amazing how much steel one can carry comfortably in even light clothing, thanks to CS, and also the genuine realization of a pocket's true potential. Next buy will be the L.T. edition serrated Spartan. Look forward to the Mayhem!
I love having my Black Talon II as part of my EDC. My favorite knife overall.
Sir how do you have any hair left testing all these great blades?
Brisket is still good. Corned beef is on the menu, boys! Nice knife though
Spyderco invented the design and allowed you to use it.... that's class
Please Cold steel make a smaller version of this knife!
Really? I think any smaller of a blade and it wouldn’t be useful in an emergency
I bought and used my serrated version specifically for utility use eg. 2 year old, sun seasoned ratchet straps, rope, cardboard, wire stripping, notching, scoring, cutting horse mat...etc. no issues with lockup or tip failure. Not to badmouth the competition, but they specifically say NOT to use it for utility. Just saying.
You know the matriarch felt a tad pussified due to the lack in length this looks right to me another design well done cs~!
Really amazing looking knife design looks!!! ^^
Just saw mellow 5.56’s comment about a talon XL. YES PLEASE! My Rajah II isn’t scary enough! 😂.
I like cold steel and spiderco, it’s just annoying how everyone assumes spyderco is way more money all the time, cold steel also has expensive knives, the matriarch 2 is vg 10 yes, but you can also get a coated blade with frn handles for 117$ on blade hq, the talon is 109, I’m not seeing the gap as much others I guess, Cold steel will still always and forever have the greatest videos though lol
4 years later.... The comparison is actually the Spyderco civilian... The matriarch is a smaller version with frn handles.
That knife is absolutely beautiful! As most of you knives. I call that a show knife look but don't touch lol. Mr. Thompson I have a man crush on you lol I think your are very cool person. And it's very nice that give gifts when you visit your products distributors, that's so cool. Meeting you & your store is on my bucket list. Lol one day. Thank you for putting out great products.
deadly strike.....omg deep cut
Think I’ll get 2.
Message received.
The "Cold Steel TRex Claw"
Yes, if jumped, that could cut someone off, make a lot of bleeding too. Swiping to protect ones self would be easier too. Which it'd be good if you made others aware how thugs like to do interviews and test runs before doing something. Which they jump, this things look like it could cut dogs off fast.
Is there a fixed blade version of this?
that’s pretty badass. Just bought one.
Absolutely love this knife with the cog ring.totally BAD ASS ! thx for designing and making this knife.
The only man who loves his work, and be happy.
_yOu earned your new subscriber_
Yall fucked Johnny up
This is what the British fear most
I have two, for me ITS Will be AWAYS the best of the series of couldsteel, Black talon 2 is a raptor in your hand but with more Power!
Holy $hit that is an amazing cutter !!
Cold steel tiger claw please
I love the new style of videos! Just bought a Rajah 2 the other day and it's my first Cold Steel and I think I'm in love
i love Cold Steel!!!
I love this knife. It's so rippy.
How do you sharpen it with those type of serrations. Looks real hard to do compared to other types of serrations
XL version please
Used to be a Spyderco fanboy but I can’t really afford them anymore. I’m glad I found out about this knife. Definitely a better buy than the civilian. Black talon is a Cooler name too lol.
How often do y’all have company bbqs?
This compared to the Matriarch 2
The Matriarch with wave might open up better with the pocket snag but the Triad lock and much better steel make the CS version superior.
Talon 2 Is better
wish yall would put that thumb disk on more models
Vg 10 properly heat and cryo treated, can get very close of s35vn. Most of the s35vn is terribly heat treated.
You're a TIGER man !
Cut his nake !
I wish Lynn Thompson would put as much effort into defence against a heart attack !
Love the meat glove test, that's probably my favorite.
@coldsteel I went on Amazon to buy a nonserrated Talon 2 and it’s not there anymore. Can you please put some more on there? Thanks
Well now I feel like an idiot for grabbing the plain edged version on Prime Day.
If you like the sipiderco better just buy 2 Black Talons instead
Should've been in the John Wick movies, he definitely would've used this knife 🔪
It's a damn cyborg. Get that cyborg with black talon! Yeah.
I have a small version of a Spyderco called a hawkbill and it is sharp..
Lynn, i just ordered one today should have it by Saturday.❤
GSM missing the XHP steel in this, buds!
❤️🇺🇸👍✅😃💪🥇
Death machine! Feel sorry for any bully that messes with the guy who has this beast
benchmade and spyderco are so expensive for having such girlie knifes.
Lynn and Cold Steel are the knife comunity real world version of super heroes ,over the top larger than life,unapologetic butt kickers.🔪🔪🔪Cold Steel rocks!
⚡⚡SHAZAM⚡⚡
So I guess we know who carves the turkey at his house at thanksgiving...
I don’t like serrated blades but for this application it makes lots of sense
its a bit like my fox knives fx-151 R, "it cant stab, its fine" 😂
Being back the talwar. Please
Bro you deserve a raise for this video.
got that in a fixed blade?
I would love that in a fixed blade with a ring on it like a kerambit, be a perfect boat knife that would be hard to drop for cutting rope, netting and lines and such. clip it right to my pfd for canoing/kayaking
Arctic Gator agreed. also where i live humans are on the menu for the local wildlife so that in a fixed blade would do nicely.
We make the Steel Tiger karambit.
We have the Steel Tiger for that! @@ArcticGator
Cold Steel I'll take a look on that. much appreciated cold steel.
Someone please tell me, afterward that was prepped seasoned and smoked on a smoker!!! NICE MARBLING I actually own this knife and might buy another as the one I have came with a nearly micro hook at the very very tip. But the CTX XHP is so friggen hard it doesn't just quickly grind away plus...I might eventually see if Cold steel will look at repairing or possibly replacing but literally. I have shaved my side burns with it with the factory edge (not recommended, my Gillette is still a little smoother shaving but not much)
Point of information...the Spyderco civilian is not only much more expensive, but it's also marketed as a " martial blade craft" knife. A fighting knife that also comes with a card that states "this knife is NOT for utility", and any such use will void the already crappy warranty! Lol! So buy the Spyderco if you want the look, buy the Cold Steel if you actually want to use it!
I love my black talon 2. I am raptor man. Clever guy
Cold steel makes very strong, very sharp knives very cheap. How can you beat that? Bigger beefier higher quality blades then the other brand with stronger handle and lock and a cough wave feature cough. And honestly the prices are even cheaper then Lynn says, I like midway I know it’s not fake like maybe amazon, TH-cam fake cold steel Spartan if you want to see what I mean. Cold steel is a home run and Lynn Thompson is a treasure and genius
LYNN, PLEASE DO A BBQ VIDEO, WHERE YOU CUT UP THE MEAT WITH SWORDS, TO GRILL!!
I have one - I love it and woe betide anyone who.........................!
I train some PTK and now I really really want this knife, after my first knife sparrings with Krav Maga dudes I noticed it’s more natural for most people to slash someone than have a good stab, at least when we try to control the distance, dunno about ground fighting tho probably stabs would be more beneficial…
Hope this thing can go thru winter jackets too tho.
Love Cold Steel designs and ideas, awesome blade and it has the Tri-AD lock!
That 1 ply "plywood" was nowhere near 1/4 inch thick
Cold Steel has a Karambit for $7 and another for $45. They have that same devastating animal claw curved design. Karambits you can do that same slashing strike but you can switch it up and hold it back hand and do so many different strikes.
I like it but I hate trying to sharpen you're guys serrated edges
Although considering I would only buy this for self-defense which let's face it how often are you actually going to use it for that i guess i wouldn't really be an issue
Earned a sub and a like from me.....and probably a sale..... This and an SR1 tanto are on my list.....and as a man who owns the Civilian and the Matriarch.....that says something..... Also I dig the ish out of Lynn....I'd love to have dinner with this guy some time and just listen to him tell stories....so interesting.....a man who does his passion.....I love it.
Cold steel can you please make short 80s films using your knife I like the music it would be great promotion with styles of movies like cobra.
I can still barely deploy out of my pocket
Love it or hate it but Cold Steel is the only company that makes everything from well designed edc blades to outlandish and huge folding knives that are actually functional, made from quality materials and fairly affordable!
