For the hawkbill fans

[Piet.S]

Came across this beauty at the Chech forum. Thought that our hawkbill fans would enjoy seeing it.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing.


Isn't that name the one that is on some of the inexpensive knives seen on ebay?

I seem to remember seeing a hawkbill with that name before.

Tom Anderson is a fine custom knife maker. http://www.andersoncustomknives.com/ http://www.arizonacustomknives.com/displayArtist.asp?aID=20&name=Tom+Anderson

I think that cheap crap stuff are thieves of his designs.

That's quite nice :D

Scales are bit too fancy for my taste though, I'd be afraid to use it. Wouldn't stop me from buying one though :p

I wasn't trying to insinuate that his knives were cheap crap. I've seen some of his stuf on the web and it definately doesn't look like crap, or cheap. I just seem to remember some of those knives, and they were advertised with his name. Quite possibly a rip-off.

Do you one hand open it by pushing down on the little point just above the pivot?

Hey cool Severedthumbs! I don't know if he is the originator of the idea but I like how he handles the problem of negative angled handle vs the hawkbill as seen in the Rastor models.

Well I guess the Tom Anderson model above does the same thing in a more subdued fashion...great answer to that problem.

This Hawkbill craze is not going to die out any time soon. As a matter of fact with superior quality Hawkbill blades like the one you have displayed are going to becoming more and more prevalent. That is a very serious work of art.

When I said about a year ago that the "People want a New Hawkbill and actually a series of them" >>> I had no idea that it was going global. But that turns good news into great news. Bring em on ;)

Thanks for the linsk and for the pic. It is a nice piece, although the lack of a hump and a round hole makes it look somehow peculiar ;)
