SK Hawkbill Folding Knife, Pocket Knife EDC, with Curved D2 Steel Blade

I work on powerlines for a living and having a decent skinning knife is a must in this trade. My apprentice already owned this exact knife so I had the chance to test it out before one for myself. When he told me how much it cost, I couldn’t resist getting one for myself. Out of the box, this knife is very sharp, it makes skinning wire a breeze for me! The blade is made of D2 steel which is known to have a fair balance of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. I also love the color scheme of this knife, I typically prefer brighter colored knives because they’re a lot easier to find if I accidentally leave it lying around, which I tend to do a lot lol! The black finish on the blade looks pretty BA too IMO. All-in-all, this is great EDC knife for anyone in the line trade, it’s sharp, holds an edge, and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.. can’t ask for much more than that!

Great quality, super sharp utility knife. Wish it had a holder rather than the clip but not a reason to not buy. I know i review a lot of SK tools but thats because every time I buy a different tool it is really good!

Lineman here. Awesome knife! Sharp, durable, holds edge and button lock and unlock works great. heavy knife and green makes its stand out when I set it down. Will buy again

Really sharp out of the box but I skin a lot of wire daily and after a week it’s pretty dull. However, it is really cheap and feels heavy duty, I think it will last a long time. Im happy with the purchase I will just need to sharpen it consistently.

I originally bought this knife because of the color, but it pleasantly surprised me. The blade is sharp right out of the box, the hawkbill design makes it excellent for cutting ropes, lines and stripping wire, and it feels solid in hand. Compact, easy to carry, and well made, it’s turned out to be a very handy little tool for everyday tasks.

Great price but lost its sharpness quick

Yep, here's the knife you need for professional-quality cutting, splitting, carving, hacking... It's a heavy-duty cutting tool. Get yourself one.

These knives hold an edge way better than milwaukee brand and are super sharp when you get it. Almost everyone I work with has at least one if not more of these knives now.
