The handle looks like it would be very ergonomic too. Let us know how you like it after using it for a while.

Re: Rough Rider Half Hawk.
Ok, Ya'll talked me into it 
My RR Half-Hawk hit the mailbox today. Lemme tell 'ya, this is one serious chunk of knife!
Both blades snap like gators, solid half-stops, and plenty sharp right out of the box.
Slightly thinner than I expected, but that's a good thing. Still a fist full!
Like wazu013 said......I plan on beating it to death

Re: Rough Rider Half Hawk.
I'm glad you like it. I usually don't endorse any knife from the Orient but this one caught me by surprise. It actually lived up to the description. It's wild what they give you for the money?royal0014 wrote:Ok, Ya'll talked me into it

WazU you may like the 209 made by Bear&Son,give it a try.wazu013 wrote:I really wish Case made the 17 and the 45 scout. For some reason they can't but RR doesCase drives Guys like me crazy. I will never buy a $200 Abalone Desk knife but I would buy some of the old school patterns. That's RR's attack plan. Make what they will not and do it at a crazy cheap price. To be honost last year I didn't buy any new Case knives. I only bought used or Old Stock knives.

Re: Rough Rider Half Hawk.
Here are a couple more Rough Rider Half Hawks.
My son got the first one a few months ago and I just got one today.
We are liking the Coal Miner Series.
As noted great half stops and nice heft to it but it's thin too for what it is.
Note how thick the main blade is.

Re: Rough Rider Half Hawk.
I really love this pattern. The comfy handle, the large coping blade, the large pen blade, classic styling. Just an all around great pattern. KA-BAR, Case, Rough Ryder. Anyone seen one from another maker?
