Have you considered a fixed blade as your EDC knife? Outdoor Edge has introduced the company’s latest all-purpose, everyday carry knife, the LeHawk. This new compact, fixed blade EDC knife is simple in design, but long on performance.
An EDC Knife With 2.5-Inch Wharncliffe Blade
The LeHawk screams practical functionality. It was designed by famous knifemaker Jerry Hossom, who has been a full-time knifemaker since 1997. The LeHawk’s 2.5-inch long Wharncliffe blade has a straight edge that delivers power directly to the cutting edge. That makes it a perfect EDC knife for a variety of cutting tasks. The blade is made from 8Cr14MoV stainless steel with Blackstone coating for additional corrosion resistance. It has been precisely heat-treated and hand-finished shaving-sharp for superior edge retention and performance.
The 57 Rockwell C hardness ensures the blade will retain its sharpness yet be easy to quickly resharpen. The thermoplastic rubber (TPR) handle and unique duck head shape ensures slip resistance, even when handled with wet or slippery hands.
LeHawk’s Sheath Provides Many Carry Options
At just 6.25 inches long and weighing a mere 3.0 ounces, the LeHawk is perfect as and EDC knife. The rugged polypropylene sheath has a 360-degree rotating clip that attaches to any belt, pack, flotation or diving vest. It’s also compatible with any MOLLE system, allowing for a multitude of carry options. In addition, the sheath quickly converts into a neck knife with the included paracord. When sheathed, the knife will also fit easily into a pants pocket, or inside the glovebox of your vehicle.
