Well, today was a good day. Got thru another day at work w/o throttling some of the sub-humans I 'm forced to work with(what else is new, eh?) and I received my Cetan Hawkbill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ordered this from Rob awhile back, maybe oh, January or so, just about the time he and Bob(aka Bald1) got into the Talonite thing. Well, I got so wrapped up in it all that I also ordered a Talonite Cetan. When push came to shove, I opted for the Talonite version first. So Rob toiled away and I got the Talonite Cetan In June, with the D2 hawkbill to follow. Now it's here and I'm as happy withit as I was with the first one. This was to be more of a daily carry piece, so It has blue G10 scales on the D2 steel, with a multi-carry Concealex sheath in carbon-fiber finish.
Well.
I LIKE IT.
The multi-carry has all the options you'd want; neck, horizontal, vertical, all with a simple two screw mounting system.
I wore the set-up as a neck knife all afternoon and found no problem with weight - I think the holes drilled thru the scales and steel made the piece a whole lot lighter.
Rob ent two different belt attachments with the sheath;
one holds it at the traditional vertical position; the other at a slightly elevated horizontal crossdraw angle. I have not had the chance to do any field evaluation yet, ut so far I'
m caught up in the incredible sharpness of the edge and the way the knife feels in the hand - sweet.
I'll post more in a day or two, but it is one knife I'm glad I waited for.
