Garys4598 1,065 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Someone had the bright idea to host a 1st Annual International Seattle Knife Show this past weekend. . . so I figured I should drop-in and take a look-see (since one of my other passions is collecting sharp, pointy things ). Anyway, after spending a little time with Gavin Hawk (of "Grant & Gavin Hawk") I ended up walking out with one of his latest designs, what he calls the "Tangent" flipper. This particular example has a Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber (LSCF) and titanium frame, Damascus steel blade of course, and the scales on the handle are genuine elephant ivory (something thanks to Obummer will be illegal to sell come the end of May). The "Tangent" has an assisted flipper mechanism. . . which is simply a silicon band incorporated into the frame's mechanism. You can see the black silicon band along the bottom portion of the knife's spine: Below is a photo of two other examples of "assisted flipper" knives that are G&G Hawk creations and which I own. The first one at left is the "BEETLE" and the second is called the "LINKS". Ahhhh. . . I'm a bit of a G&G Hawk enthusiast. Edited April 29, 2014 by Gary 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Mark 2,452 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Apparently life's to short to carry an ugly knife also. Nice blades Gary! Edited April 29, 2014 by DaveM 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

YOT 3,743 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 That skull should be mounted on a hammer handle just to crush... um... skulls. Nice cutlery. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Garys4598 1,065 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Well, in that case you'd need an axe handle. . . because these solid resin skulls are damned heavy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 LOL. I was thinking sledge hammer handle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ram123 17 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 That is A nice knife. What's the RC of the damacus blade rated at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Garys4598 1,065 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) That is A nice knife. What's the RC of the damacus blade rated at? I do not know. I don't "use" the knife so the Damascus steel's Rockwell hardness has no value to me. . . Edited January 28, 2016 by Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
