Fixed Blade Hawkbills?

[JD Spydo]

I have used Spyderco's folding Hawkbill blades for quite some time now. I have been sold for years on their unique designs and the capability of Hawkbill blades to do many cutting jobs. Just recently I went on an outing and discovered just how good Hawkbill blades are for outdoor cutting chores.

Now I'm in the market for a fixed blade Hawkbill. I know they are out there because I used to own one made by GRECO. I never used it unfortunately and ended up trading it.

I want to know if there are any production knife companies that have any fixed blades on the market that are geared for hard outdoor use. I'm well aware of all the great Hawkbill folders on the market so now I'm wanting a really good quality fixed blade Hawkbill ( custom or production).

Also if any of you have one or have used one extensively I would like to hear your testimony.

I own and FREQUENTLY use a Condor Bush Knife. It's one of my go-to woods blades.

But any sort of billhook is fantastic in the woods.

Billhooks are used frequently in Europe and in former European colonies, but for some reason few people in North America even know about them.

I can't really think of any of good size that are made for outdoor use. Here is a small one though.

Love this one, very rustic! :thumbup:

How big and capable ones are you looking for?
As in general camp utility or the kind that you can chop down trees?

I've got these guys on the way. I'm keeping the billhook blade and the shorter hooked machete, but I'm going to be modding up the bigger one.
