I've been curious about the blade shape for awhile. So, I bought a Byrd/Spyderco hawkbill on the cheap and carried it for awhile. Seems like an interesting blade, but for me and edc, seemed to be lacking. As I thought about it as a fighter, seemed like it could be nasty, but at the same time, if I looked at "hooking" a wrist with it or my SS4, they both simply looked nasty!

I still look for deals on the discontinued Spyderco Karambit now and again and just watched a youtube video 5 minutes ago on it...thing is bigger than it looks...still take my SS4 over it anyday, but that's me...
