Hi,
I had one. It seems to be a nice little knife. After owning it for a while I sold it. I just thought it was too small--but someone else might think it is just right. Also, while the blade is tough, it is none too thick. Just my experience.

should have looked closer--for a PSK. That might be a good use, but the sheath is a little bulky for PSK in my opinion.

I had one for a while. I made major modifications to the sheath and cuts its size in half but it was also only good as a pocket and/or neck sheath after I ground, cut and sanded most of it away. For a PSK I would probably ditch the sheath all together.

I EDC the Carson F4, when I'm not carrying the Hawk-K-AT, which I like better. The reason I carry the Carson F4, though, is that I get sick of the extra length of the K-AT for neck carry. I like it as a knife much better though - thicker more sturdy blade, the handle is more comfortable. On the other hand - for size and weight I like the Carson F4 well enough. I like the sheath a lot, it is versitile. When winter comes I will probably switch back to the K-AT, as when wearing extra clothing I don't look like I have an odd growth sprouting out of the middle of my chest.

I have the Carson F4, but have not carried it. then when I started reading about several people carrying a 2" fixed blade, I remembered I had that one. I don't like wearing anything around my neck, and I am too self-conscious about wearing a neck knife, they seem to stick out like a neon sign. It might do for pocket carry, but that kydex sheath is somewhat bulky for that small knife. I like the Hawk K-AT, I don't have one because I don't like the design of the sheath. thanks for your comments.

In addition to neck carry I have also used para cord to make loops to carry it horizontally on the inside of my belt - that worked pretty good.
