small and fast

Does anyone have an Al Mar Hawk folder?
Would you say it is a fast and easily opening one handed knife?

I think maybe they make/made an auto version that would, in theory be fast. The original line of Hawk folders are very light but the thumbstuds were awkward and the pivot too stiff(lockback) to be fast.

Ended up getting a BM 556 and could not be happier, unless I just buy more knives, but I will have to save up again.

My Falcon Ultralight has a fairly stiff spring and the sstuds aren't the most comfortable. Not a 'fast' knife. Plus the Hawk doesn't have a clip, so it will be slower to draw. The griptilians are quick, ain't they?
