The Cold Steel 22BS is a remarkable design collaboration between Cold Steel President Lynn C Thompson and custom knife-maker Andrew Demko. This innovative creation can be described as a modern masterpiece! Its blade, sinuously curved and needle sharp, keeps the distinctive down-swept point and pronounced belly of the original model.This new release has been upgraded with top-notch American S35VN super-steel and a re-designed tip that enhances its strength and durability. The Black Talon II is also equipped with textured premium G10 scales. These offer optimal grip and retention, even in the face of cold or wet conditions. Yet, they are kind to your clothing when drawn from the pocket, showing its combination of functionality and consideration.
