"BOOMERANG" in Hawaii?

[DAYWALKER]

Aloha ALL,

Got this fine FB a few weeks ago from zackerty. It is called the Boomerang and is the ONLY one zackerty EVER made. Nice and sharp, and the balance is perfect! Man alive, I am gonna cherish this one for sure. It also came with a nicely crafted Kydex sheath. ;)

I hope he chimes in on this to give the specs on his fine knife, as I cannot find the email that details the steel type and wood used for the handle. :o

Mahalo much zackerty...I am honored to own the ONLY "Boomerang" not only in Hawaii, but in the world! :eek: What more can I say?

God bless and mahalo zack' ;)

Very nice Zackerty!!! Chad I hope you will enjoy it in good health! ;)

Whoa! Awesome knife Zackerty, and congrats Chad on owning the one and only :D

I really needed a "Hawkbill Fix" this morning thanks! :p

[dialex]

Hi Chad, congrats on your new knife and kudos to Zackerty for a neat work done. Nice name, "The Boomerang", yet I wonder... does it come back after you throw it? ;)

[JD Spydo]

Boomerang? That my friend is a fixed blade Hawkbill. That is one knife design I have been screaming about on the HAWKBILL thread for the Spyder Factory to put on line. That is a splendid design :cool: .

Would be an excellent candidate for the highly desired "Series of New Hawkbills".

Holy Crap that's gorgeous :eek:

Boomerang huh? If you threw that at me, you wouldn't be getting it back :p (Of course this is contingent upon my catlike reflexes avoiding the first throw, let's hope I'm paying attention) ;)

That is an excellent piece of work. :cool:

[ghostrider]

Wow!

That thing looks cool! I did notice the shape of the handle design. Seems you and I have had words about that before (the lobed shape).

Very nice work Zackerty.

Congrats and enjoy Chad ;)

Great work Zackerty :cool:

[BlackNinja]

[Chucula]

[Harry White]

[uhiforgot]

That's a truly beautiful hawkbill, and well thought-out design!!! Maybe the next forum knife will be a zackerty FB if you keep doing work like this??? :eek: :D

Perfecto!!! Nice work Zac...Small trees and limbs beware :eek: Enjoy it Daywalker like I know you will ;) ....Doc :D

[potterma]

That's a sweet one-off, Chad! Congrats!
Kudos to zackerty for an awesome job!

[zackerty]

It is a pleasure, Chad... :)
The rest I made were with a shorter blade and rounded tip, for seatbelt cutting etc for paramedics, and this one I kept, till someone worthy entered my life...

The steel is 440F, which is 440C with cobolt, 416 SS pins, Pimarli scales, similar to Pakkawood.
Hardness is 59RC Rockwell C scale, finish is glass bead blast.
Chisel grind, and somewhat sharp, as Chad might find out, if Mr Prisoner decides to "be" Bruce Lee with Mr Daywalker... :D

So THAT explains the avatar... I had no idea :o

I have seen saws before with similar blade shapes and thought that's what your avatar was. To each his own, eh? :confused: But now it all makes sense. And an excellent decision as to the recipient as well! EXCELLENT work, Zack! And congratulations, Chad!!!
