Overview

A precision-crafted metal-free personal safety ring built for everyday carry and outdoor use. Made entirely from PET-CF (polyethylene terephthalate with carbon-fiber infusion) — a high-grade, 100% non-metallic composite. Not a gram of metal. Not a sharpened edge. Just a capable, responsible tool.

Designed to sit comfortably on one finger, the Black Talon puts a blunt non-sharpened spike within instant reach. It delivers precision control and retention without functioning as a cutting weapon or multi-finger impact device — a deliberate design choice that keeps it outside the legal categories that prohibit traditional knuckle weapons in most U.S. jurisdictions.

Carbon fiber

PET-CF — Polyethylene Terephthalate, Carbon-Fiber-Infused

PET-CF is a high-performance thermoplastic composite reinforced with chopped carbon fiber throughout its structure. It delivers far superior rigidity and impact resistance compared to standard plastics — while remaining dramatically lighter than any metal.

Key properties:

  • Density: ~1.4 g/cm³ — far lighter than aluminum (2.7) or steel (7.8)
  • Heat resistance: continuous-use rated to 180°F / 82°C
  • Chemical resistance: stable against fuels, oils, most solvents, and UV exposure
  • Impact strength: carbon-fiber reinforcement absorbs shocks without cracking
  • 100% non-metallic — no conductive or metallic content of any kind

PET-CF maintains its rigidity under flex and pressure stress — making it ideal for tools that must hold their shape under real-world use. The same non-metallic construction means the Black Talon can accompany you in contexts where metal is impractical, unwanted, or scrutinized.

Care
  • Wipe clean with mild soap and water.
  • Inspect periodically for wear before relying on it.

All sizes share the same spike profile, ring geometry, and design. The difference between sizes is inner ring diameter (grip size), overall dimensions, and weight.

Size Inner Grip Diameter Overall Dimensions Weight
Medium – No Grip 0.67″ / 17 mm 6.3″ × 2.1″ × 0.4″ 18 g / 0.63 oz
Medium 0.67″ / 17 mm 6.3″ × 2.1″ × 0.4″ 20 g / 0.71 oz
Large 0.75″ / 19 mm 6.8″ × 2.2″ × 0.4″ 24 g / 0.85 oz

XX-Large 0.91″ / 23 mm 7.8″ × 2.4″ × 0.4″ 32 g / 1.13 oz

Sizing guide: The ring should slide onto your index or middle finger with a secure, snug fit. US ring size 7 → Medium. Size 8–9 → Large. Size 10–11 → X-Large. Size 12+ → XX-Large.

No Grip vs. Grip: Medium – No Grip features a smooth inner band for a clean, minimal look. Medium and all larger sizes include a textured grip surface for improved retention under stress.
