Darrel Ralph Apogee Talonite #12 – A Rare Recurve Built for Precision
Built to Cut, Built to Last
This Apogee by Darrel Ralph isn’t just another custom knife—it’s a rare, numbered piece of functional art. Featuring a two-tone recurve Talonite blade, this knife delivers unmatched slicing efficiency with a striking profile. The blade is marked #12, making it a standout for collectors and serious users alike. Talonite, known for its corrosion resistance and edge retention, keeps this blade working hard long after others have dulled.
Not only does it perform well, but it also looks exceptional. As a result, it strikes the perfect balance between form and function. Moreover, its unique grind and curvature add control where it counts.
Titanium in Your Hand, Confidence in Your Grip
The handle is sculpted from anodized titanium—lightweight, strong, and purpose-built. Thanks to its clean frame lock and excellent detent, every open is crisp, every close solid. While the action is smooth, the lockup feels reassuringly strong. In addition, the tip-down bead blasted stainless steel clip ensures the knife rides low and secure in your pocket.
Consequently, it feels like an extension of your hand. Whether you’re deploying it quickly or admiring the fit and finish, this knife delivers.
A True Custom with Tactical Intent
Darrel Ralph’s designs are known for their precision, and this piece is no exception. It comes in excellent condition with a zippered case for secure storage. Whether you're carrying it daily or keeping it as a showpiece, this Apogee delivers on performance and style.
