I've been a big fan of Spyderco's great Hawkbill models for years and I've used a lot of different Hawkbill models as companion blades over the years. And what I mean by "Companion Blade" is that I don't use Hawkbills as my primary EDC folder but I do use them as a companion blade for specific jobs that I don't want to use my primary EDC blade for.
My current primary EDC folder is my Spyderco M390 Military model. But about 45% to 55% of my cutting jobs seem to require the use of a serrated blade for more efficient results. And I find serrated/Spyderedge Hawkbills to work much better than plain edged Hawkbills. Here lately I've been talking to more and more guys who say they prefer plain edged Hawkbills over serrated versions.
So I want to know which type of Hawkbill blade you guys prefer and why? Also for you guys who use plain edged Hawkbills I wish you would tell us what you find them particulary good for. Myself I find serrated/Spyderedged Hawkbill blades to be far more advantageous. Also which Spyderco Hawkbill model do you all like the best and why? Also list the pull cutting jobs you use your Hawkbill for?
I truly believe that Hawkbill blades are overlooked as a viable cutting tool and I also believe they work better on some jobs. So let's talk about Spyderco Hawkbills>> PE & Spyderedge both.
