Hey guys,
I have up for grabs today 3 of my 52100 utility hawks. 2 are blems that will be sold at a low price. I knocked my drilling vice over last week and broke it which led to two drilling misshaps and as a result 2 blems. All of these hawks come with a lifetime warranty against breakage or extreme damage. If you break it I will get you a new one and pay for the return shipping. These are great tools that are very compact and can be carried all day easily. They also chop very well and are thin and hard enough to do fine bushcraft work in the choked up position.
Wow my phone takes truly terrible pictures. So much for an 8MP camera. Also I am going out of town tomorrow and won't be back until thursday. I will not be able to ship these until Friday morning.
PM me or email me at huntsmanknifeco AT gmail DOT com for any questions.
Here are the specs
Steel- 52100 with Clay coated differential HT+ cryogenic treatment by Peter's Heat treating . 58RC edge and poll. 45RC body.
grit finish.
Pins + tube- stainless
OL length- 12.25
Bit length- 4.25
Head width 6.1
Weight- 26.5 ounces with Micarta, 30 ounces with G10. 26.5 with wood micarta laminate
thickness .200
Fully Skeletonized tang.
Hawk #1
I apologize for the crappy indoor at night pics. The pics do this one absolutely no justice.
This one is natural canvas micarta with G10 and canvas liners. Stonewashed finish. I really love the look of this one. The G10 really pops and it feels great in hand. Handles are sanded to 320 for a nice grippy finish. Looking for NOW$315 with shipping and paypal fees included in the price. Comes with a standard edge cover. A full sheath with bungee cord release is $30 extra.
Dont mind the oil on the blade in this photo
Hawk #2
This is a blem. It is still covered under warranty and should be a great user if you don't mind cosmetic flaws. This one is orange G10 with a convex grind. With the extra weight of the G10 this guy will out chop just about anything out there its size and will be a great user. Here are the flaws
1.) The lanyard hold is jack up. I had a major mishap with this lanyard hold and in my attempts to fix it I only made it worse. Its functional but ugly.
2.) There are lots of scratches on the head of the hawk that can be seen through the finish
3.) the handles are not sanded to perfection. They feel fantastic but are not 100% perfect like they would be in a non blem piece.
4.) Dreaded glue line. You would not believe the logistics involved in gluing a 10 inch piece of G10 with no lines without squeezing out all the glue.
Looking for $219 shipped and paypaled with an edge cover. A full sheath with bungee release is $30 extra.
Jacked up lanyard hole
Hawk #3
This is a blem Covered by warranty but has cosmetic flaws. This one is black canvas and has 2 corby bolts added to it in addition to the pins wth a stonewashed finish. It has a thin flat grind and can slice very well. here are the flaws
1.) The bottom corby bolt is off center
2.) There is a big scratch on the head of the blade from where it hit another hawk in the vibratory tumbler.--- don't every tumble differential hardened blades together. :grumpy:
3.) There are scratches on the head that can be seen through the stonewash finish.
