Is this a pictures or it didn't happen kinda forum? 😀

If so how does one go about uploading a picture (perhaps a privilege to be earned)?

Does a reverse s even qualify as a hawkbill?

All sincere questions by the way, I understand your hesitation to engage with a total stranger considering the vast legions of trolls out there but I'm not the type to turn on a dime. Much obliged and have a great day/night.

Hey, max808:
Yes, you can upload images directly to the forum, but we do have a size limit (there's a LOT of images stored locally). The size limit is 1 MB. You can attach your image by clicking on the "Attachments" tab below the message window.

I hope this helps!

Mine is a few years old. Budding, pruning and gardening. Heavily modified and reground.

For a month carry, no problem. Ill play, it has been in the pocket or waste band since I bought it so I can just continue as normal :)

I'm not a big Karambit fan but that one you've got pictured really has some intriguing appeal. That is one really one of the most rigid, stout and solid built Karambit blades I've ever seen from any manufacturer. I've always admired quality even if the design isn't actually my fav. But that one I would make an exception for>> and if they would offer that bad boy in SE I would standing in line to get one.

On the same note I've always been extremely disappointed that Spyderco never made their Karahawk model available in SE. I would own two of those Karahawk models in SE if they ever change their minds and come to their senses.

No Hawkbill ever attains it's full potential in PE. Serrated Hawkbill blades are at least 4 times as useful in SE.

Last day of the hawkbill challenge, not loving the way that matriarch rides iwb, other than that it's a keeper. No yard so no yard work but boxes covered in tape tremble at the mere sight of one.

Carrying the Tasman has made me want more hawkbills.

I have to say, I couldn't quite complete the challenge.
The blade shape if the Endela feels more natural in my use and I felt like I had to work around the Hawkbill a lot more.
Being at home with a small kid now, there is a lot of fruit cutting and bag opening and other kitchen type uses where the hawkbill wasn't my ultimate solution.
I think I'll have to try a month with a wharncliffe and see if that middle ground might be where it's at.
July wharncliffe challenge anyone?
