New Buck Talon 808 for 2020
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 7:31 pm
So, some of you Buck fans who do a lot of camping, outdoorsy stuff or hiking might be interested in this new Buck Talon coming out soon. There is a photo at BladeHQ, but not available yet. Not a bad price, considering the first Talons that came out ran an expensive $400.00. I had the first original blue handle Talon (2018 model) gifted to me by my brother...yeah, he's a GREAT Bro. 
Another Talon that came out was specifically sold to active military/law enforcement.
The new 2020 design is a bit different, but is still made with the sturdy / strong 5160 steel. These do not have the sharpened 'limb trimming' curved blade on the top front, but still has the saw teeth and the six inch serrated edge with G-10 handle and Buck Cerakote. They come in black or tan. Again, the price being offered at BHQ is pretty good, if one were wanting to get one of these beast's for hard-core work. This knife is actually built to baton with, with just over 1/4" thickness.
No, I am not getting a kickback from Buck by presenting this review. I'm just putting it out there to see if others may want to comment on it or to get different perspectives. This is not a 'tool' for everyone, but I'll tend to bet they sell out in no time at all.
What do think about this 'civilian' version? (I say 'civilian' version, because the first two were limited to special status, as stated above.)
