Looks more like a Kock ring.

I gave my daughter a Honey Badger hawkbill. It's a good knife. She wanted one as a beater so she wouldn't beat up her Harpy.

Kershaw also has the Launch 10 California Legal automatic. https://grabagun.com/kershaw-launch-10-1-9-auto.html That’s an interesting knife, but the handle is a bit short. Made in the USA!

Have that exact knife. Served me well for a few years until the tip of the blade broke off. Can’t remember exactly how it happened…probably stupidly tried to pry something off. Great little box cutter. Fires hard. Makes draw cuts really well.

Thanks for posting that photo. I wonder if Kershaw would replace the blade, and at what cost (if any)?

Haven’t reached out to Kershaw to inquire about a replacement but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Kinda just threw it into the beater drawer and moved on to the next knife.

I like the blade style, but I’d like the overall knife if the handle was longer and had a bit of a nub at the end to support draw cuts. Attached is a photo of my Spyderco Manix XL. I really like that pronounced feature at the end of the handle. Draw cuts are really secure. If Spyderco would combine that handle with an appropriate Hawkbill blade at about 3.5”; that would be the cat’s meow ��.

Despite the small handle and lack of finger choil, you can still get pretty high on the thing by using a three finger grip and putting your index finger on the (generous) spine for more precise cuts. It’s surprisingly bigger in execution than it appears.

I’ve got the same kershaw auto launch, like Wingdings said the blade fires out hard and fast, you can’t go worg with that little guy. I just ordered the fox knives karambit 479, that would be a blade worth looking into
