Hide Away Knife- New Addition

Rob72 · May 23rd, 2005, 02:37 PM

For anyone who thought it was a good idea, but didn't have the $$, or anyone who wondered, and didn't want to risk serious $$ on something left in the night-table:

The new Utility HAK, in 440C. I have a S30V Hybrid and Curvy, and love'm. I carry one or both, all day, everyday. Check her out. FS (FrontSight)is good people.

I think they're neat little knives. I don't have one yet, but you're tempting me mighty good.

that is just too cool. Especially with all the hide away options!

I own one and carry it every day. It's so neat!

Worth every penny and I know it was made just for me.

I keep telling myself I want another one, but the darn thing is this knife is so great I can't find an excuse to buy another model.

The Utility HAK looks brilliant though... I want one...

For what it is, the price is very reasonable. I plug HAKs every chance I get because they're a truly fantastic product.

Hey, $70- more or less 5 boxes of WWB from Wally World, and it will go places our larger implements of force projection won't.

Neat... but awfully spendy for such a little bit of sharp metal.

True, and it very much a personal preference issue. I regularly spend $80+ on good folders (which is why I don't have 14 dozen floating around the house!

) It will either be a "niche" you see, or not. If I were going to carry a Spot, I'd just as soon carry a Disciple(or similar fixed), and have something that could apply serious leverage, whatever I needed it to do.

The HAK is something I use everyday. Zip open feed sacks, open the mail, open shipping boxes. You can even do a fair job of prying a crate top open with one. I'd easily go through $70-100 worth of S&W's "finest" in a month or so, so to me, it's worth it.(SD carry/usage totally aside- the fact that I have it when I have nothing else but swim trunks goes a long way with me.)

The thing is...

The knife is designed for you. Not someone else, you.

It's made by a knifemaker you've heard of. Ken Brock made mine.

The sheath is made for that knife for the carry method of your choice, the way a sheath should be made.

There's nothing to go wrong. There's nothing to break. It goes everywhere except on a plane or in a courthouse.

It's far more likely to be with me than any other self defense tool I own.

I went through 3 or 4 lesser neck knives, and the Hideaway scratched that itch but good.

I wish I could find a gun that 100% satisfied me the way the HAK knife has. Not that I don't carry and use other knives, not that the HAK is perfect for everything, but it does exactly what I wanted it to do. $165 was reasonable!

THAT'S NOT A KNIFE !!! Come on people,if your gonna carry a knife then carry a knife. That,IMHO,is a very expensive box cutter.-----
