I use a Spyderco Harpy with a fully serrated hawkbill often at work to open packaging, at which it excels.

Hawkbill's are great for cutting rope,pruning plants,stuff like that.

Cutting rope, cord, webbing, or things like cardboard quickly. The shape of the blade draws the material into the blade instead of wanting to push the knife out. When I'm on the boat I keep one in my pocket because the shape cuts webbing and rope quickly and easily.

My Byrd hawkbill is THE tool for breaking down the boxes that stack up here.

Hawkbills are pretty good for pull cutting.

Self-defense, draw cutting in tight spaces.
