Initial Impression, HideAwayKnives (HAK)

This is the first product that has blown me away in awhile. As small and as simple as it is, the blade, the handle, even down to the paracord wrap of the handle was executed with cleanliness and style. Ive only had it for a day...I bought this model and the *utility* model. I'll post back after a week or so but if you haven't seen/heard of these EDC knives...they are something else....

Shameless plug:

Its light, sheaths straight, conceals better than anything, presents fast from the neck, belt, pocket....

Derek,
Nice pics; thanks for sharing. How long was the wait for your HAKs?

I have been carrying one of the s30v claw style for about 18 months now. I think they are great, very concelable, but rarely actually used. Re-sheathing the claw type is a PITA two-hand affair. Still, I love 'em. I pin one to my armor, invisible until needed.

I agree, re-sheathing is something *NOT* to be done under duress, or anything close to a cocky fast reholster with your secondary

your fingers and chest depend on a nice slow re-sheath.

But the purpose behind this knife, Id venture to guess, is the last knife you may take out in self defense...or its the last thing your attacker would feel...so no real need to re-sheath quickly...

thanks aubery- actually, i only waited 2 days. They had the utility one in stock, and the Krien-Atwood was also in stock. I was lucky with my finger dimensions...

Nice knife and Pics, but I don't think that I would opt for it personally. If the Carbine doesn't get 'em, the 1911 will, and if it doesn't the Sebenza will, and if they're still standing....I probably won't be.
