Halfbreed Blades Close Quarters Combat Talon Fixed Blade Partially Serrated Ranger Green CQB02PSODK340

The Halfbreed CQB Talon Fixed Blade is built for operators who want a fighting knife that actually performs. Developed with Special Operations instructor Jared Wihongi and TRICOM Training, this live-blade variant puts function first: speed, control, and the ability to take hard use without drama. The partially serrated K340 blade wears a rugged Ranger Green coating that cuts glare, resists corrosion, and keeps wear from showing—while the combo edge offers both slicing authority and fast sawing power when you need it.

Geometry and heat treatment are tuned for toughness and edge retention under real-world stress. The partial serrations give immediate bite for fibrous materials without compromising the primary cutting geometry, and the full-tang construction channels impact forces cleanly into the handle for repeatable, predictable handling in close quarters. Balance is dialed so the knife moves fast and returns to target naturally.

The handle is fitted with textured G-10 scales that lock your grip whether you’re gloved or wet. Aggressive contours and purposeful texturing deliver reliable purchase for rapid transitions, controlled cuts, and extended use. A reinforced lanyard tube and low-profile mounting options let you rig the Talon to your kit the way you carry. Hardware is corrosion-resistant, fit and finish are tight where it matters, and the overall build stays practical rather than fussy.

Halfbreed carried lessons from their trainer tools into this operational design: mobility, speed, and cutting power are prioritized, backed by materials and construction that can take abuse. Whether you’re a Filipino Martial Arts practitioner, a tactical operator, or someone who wants a hard-use fixed blade engineered for close contact, the CQB Talon delivers mission-focused performance.
