Like the claw of the Harpy eagle the C08 is shaped for
controlled pulling cuts. The hawkbill blade shape originated in the
marine/fishing industry where severing rope, line, webbing and netting
is done at arm's length quickly and efficiently. The curving arc holds
what you're cutting against the sharpened edge keeping it from slipping
off the tip. Custom knifemaker David Boye developed the dent in the
locking lever, which insures the blade remains securely locked open when
gripping the handle with force. Cut out of the handle is a drying vent
allowing air to circulate around the blade when closed wet. Metal clip
is positioned for tip down carry.
Features a 2.75 in. VG-10 curved arc blade. 3.88 in.
stainless steel handle has a cutout for fast drying when used in or
around water. A metal clip positions it for tip down carry.
