Hello,

Around one year ago I bought a straight 440C stonewashed HAK and i was impressed by both the service and the knife. I kept the HAK in my edc rotation since then. The knife was and still is absolutely perfect for my fingers and the measuring method suggested on their website is truly accurate.
I chose to order a knife that would fit at its best without cord wrapping. I wanted to make it as flat as possible, and i didn't think the padding offered by the cord wrap would make a difference.

I recently browsed their website again, and i couldn't resist ordering a new HAK to add to my collection. I chose again to go for a production 440C model since i neve felt the need for a more exotic steel, and i really like stonewashed blades. It is in fact my favourite finish.

This time i took measures in order to get a little extra room for cordwrapping, and i finnaly ordered an "available now" Tiger Claw model.

Payment was send last sunday (9th) and the knife got shipped by William two business days later. I received it this friday and once again opening the package was a special surprise.

The package in fact included all these goodies (i cordwrapped the knife before taking the picture):

Of course also this knife fits my fingers perfectly.

A big Thank You to William for taking good care of me! I definitively see more HAKs coming in the future!


Also, William asked me to post a message for all customers currently waiting for a knife:

"I expect to have the wave of midnight (tiger claws and straights) shipped over the next two days - rather than do checkins - I am just shipping everything I can as fast as I can - so people should not worry even if their reservation is from December 2. Also note - artemisweapons@yahoo.com is good for same day response - frontsight9mm@yahoo.com will take much more time.

News is - DLC S30V midnight hybrid production will be in soon in quantity, also 440C straight duracoated HideAways in Leo Blue, Olive Drab and Crimson. Many Coogler Customs due in this week."
 
Damn! Now I want one!:grumpy::D

Thanks for review and the pictures speak volumes.

It says 440A on their site. Have they changed steel?
 
Alot of LEO's I know near my Dad's house carry that on as an EDC. I was think about getting one myself sooner or later.
 
Hello Mmmotorcycle,

Were did you find that information on the website? if you check under "models" the only knives listed are s30v and titanium. (this makes me think that 440c models could be out of production, just a guess)

If you look under "available now" you might find some 440c models. Both my knives are 440C.

thanks
 
I have one, excellent blade. Not sure of the steel, probably 440, standard straight edge.
They just scream quality, and the sheath is excellent.
 
I have a couple and they are damn near perfect for on duty carry. I carry mine between my mag pouch and buckle. I also carried it clipped to my vest for a while. A very handy tool.
 
I believe it's the Utility model that's in 440C & goes for $69. There's also a titanium model & in S30V. Those, of course, cost quite a bit more.

They're a neat idea & are easy to conceal.
