Colt Hawkbill

I've heard the Colt branded imports as being described as Rough Riders with slightly higher F&F and QC. If they can live up to that they should be exceptional knives given the price. Also the hawkbill is a fine pattern for work and general chores.

I'd say that was about right judging by this knife.

420J2 by the seem of it. That will put a few people off I expect. It gets nice and sharp, but I've not used it hard so can't say what the edge retention is like,
probably poor, but that doesn't bother me too much. I like knives that sharpen easily. My favorite knives are SAK's so I'm used to it.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I agree, not the best steel, but for gardening it is very stain resistant. It could probably be put away wet and not rust.

Colt: "used hard and put away wet." I reckon so.
