K-TALON DARK STONE

Guru Ron Balicki has had a long association with Cold Steel, and his contributions to our success have been invaluable. Ron is known world-wide for his vast knowledge of Filipino Martial Arts, Thai Boxing, Boxe Française, Silat, Shootfighting, and Degerberg Mixed Martial Arts, as well as being the founder and chief instructor of MARS (Martial Arts Research Systems), overseeing 2000 MARS instructors and students globally. Our President, Lynn C. Thompson, has been Ron’s private student and training partner for 20 years! Ron has learned a thing or two about fighting sticks and we are proud to introduce his favorite, the Balicki Stick. Slimmer, shorter, and substantially lighter than our standard Escrima Stick, it exhibits Ron’s preference for speed and agility. It’s made from high impact virgin Polypropylene and has a subtle wood grain finish. Ron’s name is featured in brilliant silver and there are silver bands at each end for visibility and style. It’s a must have training stick for anyone interested in the Filipino Martial Arts. Weight 9.8 oz. Thickness 9/10" Steel / Material Polypropylene Overall 28" This is an item from the Cold Steel program in 2019.

As a nod to the great success of the Pendleton Lite Hunter, Cold Steel has decided to make more economical versions of their popular Tanto and Outdoorsman knives. These resemble their more expensive versions in that they feature similar blades, guards, handles, and pommels. The only significant change was the use of slightly thinner 4116 Krupp Stainless Steel blades, and the implementation of less costly materials in the handles. The handles are made in two parts. They feature a Polypropylene guard, pommel, and core section, which totally envelopes the full tang. The core is then over-moulded in a deeply checkered Kraton for a non-slip grip that's impervious to the elements and is easily cleaned with soap and water. To carry your knives safely and conveniently in the field, a black Secure-Ex belt sheath is included, so it can be easily worn on the belt or tucked into your pack or tackle box. Details: Length: 27.9 cm Blade length: 15.2 cm Weight: 161 g Blade material: 4116 Krupp stainless steel Handle material: Polypropylene & Kraton This is an item featured in the Cold Steel programme of 2011.

Black as a moonless night, silent as the grave, and totally undetectable...these are the qualities that make up our new lightweight NightshadeTM series. Most are detailed reproductions of existing Cold Steel favorites and some are new designs representing the newest trends in high-tech, covert construction. Made from GrivoryTM- the latest in fiberglass reinforced plastic, and stronger than even the super tough Zytel® we have used in earlier models- they are UV and heat stabilized, making them impervious to the elements. One of the most unique features of these knives is their handles. They are made from deeply checkered Kraton that has been molded directly to the blade tangs. The use of Kraton in knife handles is a Cold Steel innovation that dates back to the early 1980´s. It has been readily copied by most of our competitors because it offers a superior, slightly tacky gripping surface that is unaffected by heat, cold, or moisture. It never rusts, warps, cracks or splits even in the most extreme environments. Our NightshadeTM knives are light enough to be tied, tucked, or taped just about anywhere on one´s person. And, since they are impervious to heat, cold, moisture and extreme weather they are a natural to hide both inside and outside your house. They can be hidden virtually everywhere from the hedges and flowerpots in your yard, to the refrigerator, bookshelves, and closets in your house. Keep one in every room of the house, from the laundry room to the bathroom shower! With violent home invasions on the rise a strategically placed NightshadeTM could save the day, and even your life. Specifications: Weight: .7 oz. Thick: 7.5 mm Blade: 3 3/4" Handle: 4 3/8" long. Overall: 8 1/8" Material: Grivory with Kraton grip
