Spyderco and the madmen over at G&G Hawk

[Abyss_Fish]

This seems to come up every few years, so I figured I may as well do it again.

Sooooooo, why aren't there any G&G Hawk designed models? It seems like a given, Spyderco makes the occasional "weird knife" and works with lots of odd locks, and the lads at G&G Hawk are mad scientists. A match made in heaven.

hawk-lock sage? weird steampunk thing with a spyderhole? Spyderco produced serge orbit...?

probably not that last one. But my favorite part of the Spyderco catalog is the weird stuff, and the hawks are my other favorite "weird knife" makers.

--here's to more weird stuff--

I would definitely be on board with a collab if it happened!

I like weird stuff, but it also needs to serve a purpose.

I thought their e.t. lock was the most innovative design in the industry. I also do not think that it makes the knife better or more functional in any way. It is overcomplex and decreases the knifes functionality.

Some of their other stuff seems pretty neat.

I like weird and innovative, but I still want the knife to be as functional as possible.

These are the guys behind the MUDD auto knife?
It could be interesting knife, but more for the fidget crowd, nohing that tickles my needs. But I guess if it going to be a really whacky knife, it could be popular amongst the people. Price will be high, I guess.

Aren’t G&G Hawk the ones who make an aftermarket clip with a “press to release” feature? I’ve never tried one, but it’s a clever idea.

Maybe not. There’s nothing about the clip on their site. It was some years ago and runs of expensive knives seem to be their primary emphasis now.

Not sure.
LionSteel has a press clip that sits flush with the knife when the clip isnt engaged. I think thats really cool and would like to see spyderco try it out. The clip would never mess with the handle ergos.

Thanks. That’s very clever and cool. Not a retrofit option, unfortunately.

Pretty sure they make/or designed the Hawk Clip for Chris Reeve Knives

Interesting, thank you.
