Hawk Talon

I did the first article on Grant (RIP) and Gavin way back in 1997, then it was on Grant's "Pony" knife. I still remember talking to Grant and asking him how he got into the knife business? His reply was "He was a recovering prospector." He had spent years traveling around the deserts of the West looking for gold. John

Nice! I was just told I'm 3-4 months out (order 24XX).
Wow! Order 1,63x here. That’s a lot of knives in between. I am sure there are runs of Deadlocks in that sequence as well, but still. It is worth the wait though.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised... that is what I get for ordering 90 minutes late 😅. Good to know it is worth the wait. Love seeing all the pics, yours looks great.

Thanks. The mars valley inlay is mesmerizing to look at. This knife is a fidget monster! It is probably the most fidgety knife I’ve ever handled.
 
I literally cannot stop the fidgeting. My wife is getting annoyed.

Good to hear, I am looking forward to it... I am sure my wife will hate it! 🤣
 
This is the best clip design out of any knife I own. I can carry this in basketball shorts and not worry about losing it.

Hawk Knife Designs in Idaho (father and son Grant and Gavin Hawk) simply make the best engineered knives in the world. There are several great reviews of the Talon online (e.g., Metal Complex) if you want more information on it. Mine has the dark matter polar scales, and the hollow grind on the M390 blade is phenomenal and so thin behind the edge. Random aside but Hawk is currently in litigation with Microtech due to Marfione stealing Hawk’s Deadlock auto mechanism.
