MATERIALS
S35VN
When looking for a material we could trust out of the gate, we chose the same premium stainless steel used in our Trek Field Knife. At 60 HRC, it is one of the hardest stainless steels available. This, combined with its high level of toughness and corrosion resistance, makes an excellent material for hard use multitools and will allow the Talon to outlast a lifetime of use.
420SS
As we worked to increase production of this product, we searched out alternatives to make the Talon available to more customers. For this we went to 420 stainless, a steel grade used in multi-tools and knives where durability is needed in unforgiving environments. Its slightly lower hardness of 52 HRC is balanced with increased toughness and top tier corrosion resistance that will stand up to daily tasks, year after year.
