TDSCSJSHWK: Steelcraft Series JVO Hawk Small Slipjoint

Begg Knives

The Jared Van Otterloo-designed Small Hawk Slipjoint Knife is a refined fifth-pocket companion that channels a sophisticated elegance from a time long past. Boasting a comfortable, hand-filling profile unlike most traditional folders, it exemplifies JVO's keen design sensibilities and intrinsic style while inviting use at every bend. The talon-like hawksbill blade measures just under two-and-a-half inches and features a generous nail nick for effortless deployment and reassuring half-stop safety. This length adheres to the regulations in various localities for both locking and non-locking blades.

The handle has a thickness you'd find on a tactical folder or maybe an ADV Slipjoint and it's possibly our favorite aspect of this slipjoint series. It exudes a sense of unwavering solidity and, thanks to its ergonomic contouring, effortlessly slips in and out of your pocket and even the coin pocket of your jeans. It's easy to forget that you're carrying a slipjoint knife, as its performance and aesthetics defy the typical non-locking folder. The Jared Van Otterloo Slipjoint Knife is an impressive utility tool, and the action is buttery smooth.

Awesome blade shape
The blade shape is awesome on this knife. The fit and finish is really good. The shield sits perfectly in the scales & no proud pins. The handle is very smooth & the bolster and everything line up perfectly. There is slight gapping in the backspring but nothing major. Very acceptable. The blade is made of a decent steel. I do wish the back spring was a bit tighter though. It's not super weak but a strong back spring is important for a slipjoint. The knife is a bit smaller than expected but still comfortable in the hand for a smaller knife. The spot for your thumb on the back of the blade is very comfortable. I do think it's slightly overpriced for what it is. I bought it because of the esthetics it's very different & is also my first hawkbill. Also I'd never heard of the brand before and wanted to try it. Overall it's a good modern slipjoint knife. But I do think a 35-40 price better suits it.

New for 2024! Slip Joint "Steelcraft" Series from Begg Knives
The new Slip Joint Steelcraft Series from Begg Knives offers a fantastic range of designs that make it hard to pick just one. I ultimately chose the hawkbill (Model BG041) for its unique blade shape, but the entire series is appealing with its variety of handles, bolsters, and shields. One standout feature in the hawkbill version is the choil in the handle, which adds to the overall comfort and satisfaction of using the knife.I was pleasantly surprised to find that the knife came with a case, a microfiber cloth, stickers, and a pamphlet (not depicted in the photos). The handle thickness feels just right, and the blade is solid, with no vertical play and perfectly centered.I almost chose the slightly larger "reverse tanto" version (Model BG036), which has a lanyard hole and a longer nail nick on both sides of the blade, making it more lefty-friendly.It's surprising that these knives weren't featured on the Thursday New Knives of the Week. Perhaps manufacturers need to pay for that exposure?Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase. The Slip Joint Steelcraft Series is a high-quality addition for any knife collection and a great companion for my Steelcraft Diamici which I love!
