Talonite is an exotic Cobalt Chromium alloy designed for extreme high stress
applications like saw tips, deep earth drills, and high-speed scraper blades. Talonite has
an impressive cutting power and has been lab tested to hold an edge longer than
the best tool steel. Remarkably Talonite is easily sharpened when it eventually
becomes dull. Talonite is also completely impervious to rust and is the perfect blade
material for a marine environment.

Personally I stay away from it unless corrosion resistance is the primary if not exclusive concern.

I like a good sharp knife, and this one handles everything I throw at it. Thats a nice little free web site they put together for a reference. I had some frends do a project on geocities once.
