Hi Surok,
I have got a HK01 droppoint;

I am very pleased with the XT-15-n blade. Good edgeretention rustproof and i can get it very sharp.

There are some things i don't like or could use some improvement imho.

I don't like the clip . It makes the knive uncomfortable in hand to my liking so i took it of.
The knive is slightly handle heavy. I would have liked it to be a little more balanced. I also would have liked a bit sturdier and thicker liner lock.

But overall its a fine knive and well made. I have not encountered lockfailure with it.

Your knive is a newer model so i don't know if the clip is the same as i could not see it in the 2007 catologue. I also am not sure if the linerlock is the same.
:jerkit:

For touch up i would recommand a spyderco 204 set. Also good to keep your kitchenknives sharp

The steel XT-15-N is comparable to H1 in rust resistence. I only give the knive a soap and water wash once in a while and use compressed air to blow out the inside. Sometimes if there is glue or something on the blade i clean it with WD40 or Windex like stuff.

mine isnt linerlock. its lockback. i like that the blade is like H1!

SuroK,

I'm sorry i missed the backlock. At a second glance i saw it.
Probably better as my linerlock . Allthough mine just functions fine. I'm curious if they improved the clip on your one. When i purchased mine a couple of years back your model wasn't out yet.

If you have the possibility to post a picture when it arrives i would like that? Also for the other forumites.
I think the blade won't disappoint you.

Enjoy your HK SuroK.:thumbup:

I think these new one's have a deeper finger recoil. How is the clip? Same as mine?
I like that luminova thumbstud. According to my findings the handles are made of glassfibre reinforced polyamid.

thanks Mat, the width of the MType's blade is such that the knife serves as a great Pizza/Pie slicer/server/spatula quite well lol
