I've had this knife for only a few days, but so far it's been tough as nails. It's razor sharp out of the box, the tri-ad lock is rock solid, and the g-10 handle is light weight but can handle anything. And I love how textured it is, no slippage at all. I was carrying the Cold Steel Mini AK-47 for about a year as my EDC, and was never let down a single time. I've owned and thoroughly used Cold Steel knives and tools for years, and have always been impressed. I decided I wanted to carry a slightly larger pocket knife for my EDC, and was immediately attracted to the Talwar due to its sleek design features. I love the belly of the blade and what feels like a custom fitted handle. It was well worth the two weeks wait for it to become available, and when I could finally purchase it, it arrived at my door in 3 days. I'm highly satisfied with knifecenter.com, as per usual. I would definitely recommend this knife.
Cold Steel 21TTL Talwar Tri-Ad Lock Folding Knife 4" S35VN Satin Plain Trailing Point Blade, Black G10 Handles
It is beautiful. It is light, because there is no metal liners, just G10, as strong as metal. It fits in my hand perfectly (I think I have common average hand). It's lock is solid as a rock, a bit hard to unlock for the first time. It is fully ambidextrous - second clip for the left side is in the box.

Impressive folder and well worth the price paid. Fastest little folder in the world. Strongest lock in any folder. Grip is unbeatable. An excellent addition to any collection.

The trailing point gives it a big belly with a large cutting surface. Deployment of blade very smooth for such a big blade. Lock is incredibly strong as all Tri-Ad locks are but it does make disengagement a bit hard. Like all CS black pocket clips on G-10 scales, it will rip your pocket trying to deploy it with its "wave" feature. What I did was take off the pocket clip and sand the area under the clip with 220 grit sand paper to make the G-10 smooth. Solved the problem. I'm glad that this is a satin finish. This is a handsome all business type tactical blade that isn't a chore to carry. I think CS did a good job with this one.

Some what okay...
I'm a big fan of quick draw/open pocket knives and this one is a bit more than I need for slicing pallet wrap and cutting banding straps but overall it's a really good knife to have in your selection. The drawing aspect takes some practice and this knife will def tear up your pocket but all my knife carrying pants are worn anyway so nbd. I'm not a big fan of full belly, drop pt slicing knives as I prefer the immediate 'bite' of a half serrate for immediate raw cutting power so don't let my solo opinion sway you away from this knife. The ergonomics of the handle combined w/the blade angle really, really put this knife in your hand...when you grip it you feel as if almost nothing could rip it from your grasp. It would be PERFECT for skinning. Any amount of blood or slime will not affect your grip and you could make short work of small or big game. Blade dulled on me fairly quickly but the factory angle is superbly razor sharp...tbh I'll prob go w/a more durable angle for the resharp tho. I regret paying the price I did for it tbh...I know of two very reliable good quality knives I could have bought for the price of this one but...balance is ok on the knife as well; also came w/am extra clip for left handsets which I thought was kwl...overall I'd say if you have the extra income and can afford a good skinning knife go ahead...otherwise keep shopping. Unlock is extremely difficult!!!
