Pros & Cons
Pros
I'm very impressed with the basically 3mm blade stock that is hair shaving sharp. I'm not sure how easy it will be to sharpen it, however.
The hawk bill design is one of my favorites for general purpose as it pulls material into the blade. It's also much better than a straight blade for wire/cable stripping. It’s nice that it is user adjustable.
The handle itself is dual injection molded with a blue rubber grip. The blade opens smoothly, and the locking mechanism is firm but easy. It has the nubs on either side to make the blade easy to open with one hand.
The pocket clip itself is strong, long, and of the deep carry variety. Works just as well clipping to the outside of a pocket for easier access. There’s a belt clip that enables you to keep the knife outside your pocket.
Highlights
Quality
I got this to cut up boxes for recycling, and it far exceeds the quality required for that function.

Packaging/appearance
I got this for my husband who works in maintenance and often has to open tough plastic packaging, for example around appliances... Read More
The knife came with a very sharp edge on the blade, so it's ready to go right out of the box.

So it’s probably not that surprising that i have never had a hawkbill knife

But as soon as i saw the listing for this knife i thought it might help me with a project i had been putting off cutting up a bunch of old carpeting so as to get it into the trash

I had struggled with trying to use various knives and scissors for cutting the carpeting with very little success

But once i got my hands on this hawkbill knife the project just went from extremely tedious and annoying to being a fun project
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The knife only locks in the open position not the closed so there’s a small possibility that the knife could come open in a pocket if the pins on the side of the blade get caught in material

The knife itself has a tough plastic outer skin wrapped around the steel inner core
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It feels comfortable in my handi do not like the locking mechanism because it doesnt reliably lock
