Orange SpyderHawk - Anyone have one?

[Riz!]

Anyone have one of these sprints? I am thinking of buying one for fishing the river. I was hoping to see some pics and hear some thoughts?

Just ordered one! Love my Tasman and Pacific salts. I was very very happy to see these available in Canada. I thought I'd miss out on it with the whole CBSA thing

For some reason I like the look of that extra 1/2" of plain edge at the tip.

Just received mine on Saturday and it is an outstanding specimen! Couldn't be happier with it!

I rec'd two last week, both are excellent, well centered blades and smooth action.
First class workmanship.

It’s look, fit and Finish is excellent. I love the orange. It’s H1. It’s a Sprint. I would have regretted not getting it.

Thanks gents. The pics pushed me over the edge. Gonna order tonight. Itll be perfect for the boat

I ordered one when I got home from work. I wanted to order two since its a sprint run, but I decided to get one and inspect it and use it for a week or two and then order another if I like it.

Finally arrived today! What a beauty! Can't wait to get some real use out of it. I'll start wearing the new off tomorrow.

I've been saving for these. The 3rd one came in yesterday. First one has been in my pocket since I got it. It bumped the Delica Wharnie Spyderedge out.

I forgot to say ... I cant flick it. It is a great knife though.

 

[blame it on god]

I want one. No real need or use for it. But I still want one. Lol

Ok, I'm a huge sucker for Orange and also the H1 series as I'm an avid fisherman, boater and weekend pool/lake rat.

Forgive my ignorance but what is the benefit of the hawkbill shape and the serrations for say fishing (freshwater kayak and bass boat) I usually carry either a Pacific Salt plain edge or my H1 Dragonfly plain edge. I really like this and everyones pics have started to push me closer to the edge. I just want to try and justify my purchase on the usefullness or advantage of the serrations and hawkbill shape. Thanks

They are great for quickly cutting lines. Its an extreme example but if you were diving and caught in lines you could cut yourself free in a hurry. @Surfingringo uses them to bleed all the fish he catches on his kayak. They are also greatvfor utility uses like breaking down boxes, cutting abrasive materials, or opening heavy bags (think sandbags or mulch bags) where the tip peirces and then you pull to complete the cut.
