Halfbreed Blades Close Quarters Combat Talon Fixed Blade Partially Serrated Black CQB02PSBLKK340

The Halfbreed CQB Talon Fixed Blade answers the need for a true close-quarters combat tool with uncompromising build quality and purpose-driven design. Developed in collaboration with Special Operations close-quarters instructor Jared Wihongi and TRICOM Training, this live-blade variant is meant for practitioners and professionals who need a blade they can count on when the situation gets serious. The partially serrated K340 blade wears a hard black coating that reduces glare, increases corrosion resistance, and hides wear; the combo edge pairs slicing power with aggressive bite for cutting through tough material when speed and control matter most.

Blade geometry and heat treatment are tuned for durability and edge retention under hard use, while the partial serrations give you an instant sawing option without compromising the primary cutting geometry. This is a tool built to be used — not just stored. The full-tang construction channels impact forces cleanly into the handle, and careful weight distribution keeps the knife balanced for fast, instinctive handling in close quarters.

The handle is sculpted for positive, repeatable purchase: textured, durable G-10 scales lock your grip in place whether you’re wearing gloves or your hands are slick. A reinforced lanyard tube and low-profile mounting options give you multiple carry configurations so you can tailor the Talon to your kit. Hardware is rugged and corrosion-resistant; fit and finish are tight without being fussy.

Halfbreed’s commitment to functional training tools carries over into this operational blade: it’s designed for mobility, speed, and cutting power, and it’s built to take hard use without drama. Whether you’re a Filipino Martial Arts practitioner, a tactical operator, or an experienced outdoorsman who favors a fighting-capable fixed blade, the CQB Talon brings proven design decisions and serious materials to the table.
