With a workplace limitation on blade length of 3" I have a SE Tasman in my pocket every day. Rust free wicked curved blade balanced out by the cheerful bright yellow FRN scales. If a fellow employe remarks about the wicked blade I always point out the cheerful bright yellow scales my cutting tool wears. :D

I'd never carried a hawkbill before I bought an SE version of this about a year ago. Now the Tasman seldom leaves my pocket. I've found so many uses for this knife, and it's held up very well through all the use.

It's on my short list but I can't decide on PE or SE. Interested to see how you like it in PE working against cables.

I love this knife. I use it as a work edc and fishing edc. The blade is so versatile from precise cuts with tip to eating cardboard. Also another reason I like se is I use it as rescue. Clean up is a breeze and h1 is great

Mine's my swimming/running/cycling knife, super light and barely noticeable clipped to the lightweight sporting shorts, never have to worry about rust either. Although the utility function is limited, so I ordered pacific salt to replace it.

Use my yellow tasman out in the jungle that is our backyard. Great little worker. Spyderedge version. I have a Spyderhawk on the way, plain edge because I couldn't find a serrated version for sale at what I thought was a reasonable price. The hawkbills are very functional blades for my needs. Hope you enjoy. I'm surprised more folks don't use them.... or at least discuss them here on the forums.
