Anyone edc a hawksbill pruner??
I have one, but haven't really carried it but it seems like it could fill a lot more rolls than given credit for. Despite it's size, it rides like a dream in your pocket because of it's flat and rounded shape. Seems like it would be great for utility, opening boxes and packages and such. Easy enough to open with the large blade. The stiff spring and the way it's designed to cut, you could almost use it like a hatchet if you had to for a last chance self defense or in any case, it would look intimidating. Also looks like it would be good to gut game, but not skin game. I'm guessing not too good for slicing fruit and such.
Feel free to post some pics!
 
Picked this one up a while back and carry it often. I have found it to a pretty good carry knife especially when accompanied by my Case swayback jack or other smallish knife.

i have a couple hawkbills but i dont carry them regularly. i guess they get used more during the warmer months.
 


I don't carry mine, they stay on my bench for opening boxes and cutting up plastic and stuff to reduce them...



They are tops in my book for starting a cut and draw cuts.
 
I EDC'ed a Case back when my RA was worse.
