SHOT Show 17 – Unifire Half Talon Knife by Buck Knives

A couple of years ago, Unifire came up with a machete-style blade after a jungle symposium in Hawaii. The Talon is made by Buck Knives exclusively for Unifire. This year, they slightly modified the original design, making it a bit smaller for more everyday use as a utility fixed blade knife.

The Half Talon seen above the full-size Talon FMC, is a full tang design, made from 5160 spring steel with a 1/4″ backstrap and convex design blade which offers three times the cutting strength over a standard design.

The reverse features an open limb hook like a bolo-style knife. The blade also has a Pry point at the tip and 2″ serrated edge near the grip. The butt can be used as a hammer.

The Talon’s blade is Cerakoted and incorprates a multi-layer Micarta handle. It also has multiple lash points. The sheath has a drain hole and can be worn at the belt or attached to PALS webbing.

    Cool design, I can see it’s field/outdoor purpose but as an EDC for urban areas? Nah
