Tactical Hawkbill EDC Slicing, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening Precision

The Dawnstar rises above as a tactical and practical folder for everyday cutting tasks. Grip the ergonomic, textured handle and open the folder easily using assisted opening and a built-in flipper. Not only is the hawkbill blade unorthodox and eye-catching, but its downward angle expertly handles boxes, rope, and many other cutting tasks. The false edge near the top of the blade makes push cuts even more efficient. Finishing touches include a custom backspacer, circular sharpening choil, and internal weight-relieving pockets for a light carry. The Dawnstar travels easily with a deep-carry pocket clip reversible for right- or left-hand tip-up carry.
