Ooh, I didn't even notice the radio button for the Tasman. Would that be your first hawkbill? If so, GET IT. Having a hawkbill is like getting into knives for the first time. You will be amazed at the ease with which you untangle things (like yourself), separate matter into neat little piles, etc. Plus it looks primal and cool (and as a sidenote, I have put hawbills in the hands of 3 women and I thought they were all dead sexy with them), so there are definitely good things to be said for a nice sharp hawkbill!

Defenestrate, I have a couple hawkbills and like them a lot. I am just not sure i like the ergos on the Tasman. And I have been trying to get an XHP Manix but no joy. The only ones left are at full MSRP, so I think the 154cm Manix2 will be getting Krein'd to FFG shortly.

I vote Stretch, hands down. But if you like G10 scales.... I highly recommend a Delica 4 in G10 (full flat grind). What a freaking awesome knife (if you can swallow the price). I've been carrying it for about six months now and it is the perfect size, weight, balance/feel, just an all around excellent knife. But the Stretch will do everything the Delica 4 G10 will, but the Delica is going to look a whole lot better doing it lol.

There are more CTS-XHP Manix2's coming.. I have a preorder for one, but it won't be until midsummer..

Which hawkbills do you have?

None are spydies yet, but I have a Boker Subclaw, and a Mike Cantrell custom ringed hawkbill.
