Rupe - good eyes. That's a Rotring 600 that I picked up, as a matter of fact, shortly after completing an LFI kubotan class. :)

thesearcher - I have a gen4 waved Endura. It's a heck of a lot of knife for the money, but a significantly different tool from the HAK. Let your anticipated end use drive the decision......Who am I kidding - get both :D
 
How in the world...

do you order one of these knifes?? I have been on that site a number of times and can't seem to properly place an order! Anyone got a number for someone at Hideaway Knives to talk to???:what:
 
sloman,

It's a different process than most sites, but I just ran an order for a bra clip and it worked fine.

You've got to follow the measurement instructions (http://www.hideawayknife.com/measure.php) since each one is made to fit the user.

Once you've done that you should check the Available Now in the upper left
availnow.php
to sign in and find out if anything currently available fits. If nothing is there try I Want One and pick the model you want.

Anything that's currently available goes to a paypal page for payment. Anything that isn't available is "reserved" and when it comes available you get notified to pay.

FrontSight's been traveling for about 3 weeks and she's only now catching up on email and order requests. Depending upon model she's running 3-6 weeks behind on filling orders. The thing I advise is pick the knife and place your order and if you want anything right now to show up you can buy the accessories and set them up for when your knife comes.
 
thanks

thanks, I tried "Buying One Now" option . It says it was available but no notification. By the way, my measurement is 4 5/8", how do I translate that into a decimal measurement like they ask for? Maybe I am entering my info wrong:what:
 
I got it

Finally, I got it. Bought a low end model to see how it works for me.
:cool:

No worries bro. A fraction is simply a numerator and a denominator. Just like 1/2 is really 1 divided by 2 (.5) and 3/4 is 3 divided by 4 (.75). So yours is 5/8. 5 divided by 8 is 0.625 Your measurement is 4.625 inches.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Sloman,

Sorry dude, didn't realize until after I posted the math that you had already ordered and that your post was days and days ago. :doh:

I just ordered my HAK last night, after drooling over their site for the last coupla months. Just going with a utility for now to try it out.

Ditto, but got mine Saturday 10/28. I got all kinds of ideas of where to mount this bad boy! Behind my mag pouch on duty belt, in pocket with yank strap, around neck when I run, under collar of my jacket, and on vest. I need more sheaths, or another HAK and sheaths :) Those satin hybrids look awesome:p

HAK knife is a joke

Just got my HAK knife a few days ago.

This is total garbage suited for the legions of armchair commandos. You can read my entire review at my blog http://nazisonshoreleave.independentengineeringNSFW.us :mad:

The whole concept is flawed and it was designed by someone who has no knowledge of self defense or of dealing with a determined attacker. Save your money and just get a Benchmade Griptillian. This is trash.

Links above are NSFW. I'm also not sure I agree with your review of the knife. Tell you what, i'm not sure what size you bought, but I will buy the one you have for say $40. At least you get some of your money back, right?
 
What?

I have a brand new HAK (three days old) that retails for $160 bucks and you want to give me $40? I'd rather take a trade, but $40 is too low.
 
CZ-USA is a piss-poor excuse for a manufacturer and their products aren’t worth the metal they’re machined from.

Better stay away from that Czech junk too...
 
Anyone else have any idea what sm is talking about?




http://www.hideawayknife.com/utilityhak.php - ordered a $79 dollar HAK and got a $149 HAK…no complaint there, other than the fact they were unresponsive, their products are not made in America, the knife is well below 2 inches, it was too tight due to the stupid paracord I didn’t ask for, it took forever to arrive, the blade was dull, and the whole concept was just one big piece of poo

I'm confused, do you want something to be made in the USA, or not?
 
Reading sm is kinda like reading Cormac McCarthy or James Joyce. It's a combination of poetry and stream of consciousness. I believe he's making the point, as he often does, that we at THR often discuss pricey toys while a simpler instrument might serve as well. He's an advocate of Old Hickory knives, carbon steel, and most things made 75 years ago. And I'm surprised to see he's younger than I am. Figured him for an old fart.

Regards,

Coyote
