Is there a brand of utility razor that is a hawkbill shape? Also, this really seems to be a no-name SAK, anyone know if it has a model?

I've recently seen some impressive feats from hawkbill-shaped utility razors - problem is, I cannot seem to be able to easily locate any. Does anybody know of a type of utility razor that is hawkbill-shaped and not proprietary, preferably? Or am I better off just getting another Christy blade and pack of razors? I just got a new, wonderfully ergonomic razor knife.

Also, I was wondering, even through searches on SAKwiki, I found only cryptic references to this being an "unnamed model". It is a genuine Victorinox, it just seems completely without model, I defy anyone to tell me what this thing is, would love to know. Only other tools are small blade and the openers.

Crazy. This thing is a total mystery to me, but it's a good SAK.

Also, here is the razor-knife, recently acquired. Looking to equip it with a hawkbill blade.

There are Stanley "hawkbill"/carpet utility knife blades. I've seen them on the big river (or south american jungle) site.

Just to be sure, the SAK in question is the one circled in green, right?

If that's the case, it is a 100mm 2 layered Grafter.

In case you are looking for a hawkbill from Victorinox, they do make a 100mm model called 'Pruner' which is a single layer, single hawkbill knife.

No sir, it is the picture of the SAK on the velvet background pictured alone with the main blade, corkscrew, and awl out, it also has a small blade and the openers. I love my Pruner, hope to put those blades on a 91mm!

Much appreciated btw afishhunter afishhunter

The knife you appear to be asking about is a Spartan, the direct descendent of the original Officer’s knife. The Tinker is the same knife, with the corkscrew replaced with a phillips driver. I get knives with Phillips drivers as I find them much more useful than the ones with corkscrews, and more comfortable to use.

What about the awl, though? The Spartan has no awl, does it?

Like earlier stated, it’s a Spartan. With a philips instead of the corkscrew it’s a Tinker. With the corkscrew and a file instead of the pen blade its a Sportsman (if 85mm)
 
Originally, it was a model number 205. Funny that the wiki doesn’t seem to mention that at all. Name wise, it’s been referenced the most as a Standard in catalog print without the keyring or shackle or T&T, but I think around the ‘80s was switched over to Spartan and eventually the keyring and T&T became ‘standard’ across officer’s knives.
