The Hawkbill
This Vosteed Griffin is a production version of R.S. Knifeworks (Rob Saniscalchi)’s custom knife.
The 3.49” hawkbill is made from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel. With its unique geometry, the talon on this beast is imbued with tons of cutting and slashing power.
The combination of low tip as well as a curved edge is not only good for cutting open boxes, slicing tape, and stripping wires but also performs great for jobs like pruning and trimming.
The Ergonomics
The slim G10 handle has a dedicated cutout that makes it in alignment with the blade when opened, and your thumb and index finger can sit comfortably on it, ensuring a confident grip.
The handle is ergonomically designed to fit both medium and large paws. The almost full length vibrant-colored G10 backspacer contrasts with the handle, adding extra aesthetics to the Griffin.
The Action
With its liner lock mechanism and ceramic ball bearing system, the Griffin offers effortless one-handed operation.
Plus, it comes with various deployment options like the Front Flipper, Back Flipper, and Thumbhole, ensuring a fully loaded fidget experience.
