I can't manage to so you find it.

I love hawkbill blades and my new Spyderco Harpy is holding me over but I need the pefect hawkbill.

It needs to have.

Stong lock
Metal handles
pocket clip
plain edge
3-3.75 inch blade(4 might be ok)
one hand opening
Not cost more than 300 US dollars

Someone point me in the right direction.

The New/Old MicroTech Hawk is exactly what you're looking for, It comes right under the $300 limit, and it is an Auto, so that may not fit the bill. If Autos are legal in your area, then don't waste time looking for something else

Here's the pic from 1SKS.com

Okay, so $319 isn't under $300, but it's close

Reese Weiland makes the best framelock hawks going, but you may need to step up a little more cash. I think I sold my last one for $400.

Picture a beefed up Sebenza with a wicked hawkbill.

He also designed and prototyped the Hawks that Microtech sells.

After that you'll be hurting to find one that's not a lockback (Spyderco) or a liner lock (MOD).

Of course many custom makers put out Hawks but other than Mayo and Weiland you're looking at liner locks almost exclusively.

Any website or contact information for Mr. Weiland?

Here's some stuff I've posted in the past..

Hawk I sold

Another Weiland, not a hawk though (Scroll down & look for my post)

I also have the pleasure of owning this Weiland now Sroll down past the Ralph/Simonich collab.

Reese's web page is here


I've never seen a bad Weiland.
