Manual flipper folder from G&G Hawk, and a rare one: the handle, the backspacer, the Gripclip and the Hawk Lock latch are all purple anodized titanium, with a marbled white-and-black TechnoCarbo inlay set into each scale — a pattern no two sets share. Stonewash M390 blade, 3.375" with a 3.25" cutting edge. Hawk Lock with Toggle Detent. 7.875" open, 4.34 oz, made in the USA. New in box, with the original box and all original accessories.
Purple is rare on a Talon, and it is the reason to own this one. The Talon is a titanium frame knife, and on this one the handle, the backspacer, the Gripclip and the Hawk Lock latch are all purple anodized titanium — not paint, not a coating. Anodizing colours titanium by growing an oxide layer on the metal itself, so there is nothing sitting on top to chip, flake or rub thin where your hand goes. It is the titanium you are looking at.
Hawk builds the Talon in tumbled, brightwashed, bronze, blue and DLC. Purple turns up far less often, and paired with a white and black inlay it is a combination you will not see on a shelf.
Set into each titanium scale is a TechnoCarbo inlay. TechnoCarbo is a pigmented carbon fibre composite — the colour is built into the laminate and runs through the material rather than being sprayed onto the surface, so it does not wear off the way a finish does. On this knife it is a marbled mix of white and black: bright, irregular, high gloss, with dark veining running through it.
No two sets come out alike. That is simply how the material is made, and it means the pattern on this knife belongs to this knife. What you see in the photographs is the piece you will receive.
M390 is the steel collectors ask for by name — a powder stainless known for its edge retention and its corrosion resistance. Here it is 3.375" long with a 3.25" cutting edge, 0.156" thick at the spine, in a stonewash finish.
In Hawk's own words: the Talon features an M390 blade steel, titanium frame and backspacer, along with the Gripclip, and the mechanism features the Hawk Lock and the Toggle Detent. The latch is purple anodized titanium, matched to the handle and the Gripclip — right hand, tip up. 7.875" open, 4.34 oz. Made in the USA.
The Talon is a limited production knife from G&G Hawk, and this purple anodized titanium configuration is a rare one. This is a single unit; when it sells it is gone.

Comparison ratings are Bearly Defense’s own 0–10 scale for judging steels against each other. They are a considered opinion, not a laboratory measurement. Composition and hardness figures below come from the manufacturer’s published datasheet.
voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl · Austria
A corrosion-resistant martensitic chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy, approved by Böhler for food and beverage contact. It was developed in the late 1980s as a modification of the cold-work tool steel K190, for the plastics processing industry. The stated design target was high wear and corrosion resistance; high toughness was explicitly not a priority for that application.
| CarbonC | 1.90% |
|---|---|
| ChromiumCr | 20.00% |
| MolybdenumMo | 1.00% |
| VanadiumV | 4.00% |
| TungstenW | 0.60% |
| ManganeseMn | 0.30% |
| SiliconSi | 0.70% |
Not published on the datasheet: Niobium, Cobalt, Sulfur, Nitrogen.
The trade-offTrades toughness for edge retention and corrosion resistance: roughly 22% total carbide volume, and chromium carbides run larger than vanadium carbides in powder steels, which limits toughness.
Böhler publish no hardness figure in the datasheet text — only a tempering diagram. This is the figure reported for production knives by Knife Steel Nerds.
Böhler do not publish a nitrogen figure for M390, although roughly 0.2% is reported elsewhere as an intentional addition. It is left out here rather than presented as a datasheet value.
