The Hawk Knives Deadlock Model C Prototype Aluminum / Carbon Fiber Inlay 3.5" Dagger Blasted is an ultra-rare evolution of one of the most advanced OTF (out-the-front) automatic knives ever created. Designed by Grant and Gavin Hawk, the Deadlock platform is globally renowned for its patented “deadlock” mechanism—completely eliminating blade play and delivering a rock-solid lockup that rivals fixed-blade performance.
As a Prototype Model C, this piece represents the next generation of Deadlock innovation, showcasing refined ergonomics, enhanced internal engineering, and a more compact, carry-friendly profile. The handle is crafted from lightweight aluminum and accented with a premium carbon fiber inlay, combining durability, reduced weight, and a striking modern aesthetic.
The 3.5-inch double-edge dagger blade features a clean blasted (bead blast) finish, offering a low-glare, tactical look while improving corrosion resistance. Typically produced using high-performance blade steel such as CPM-20CV, the blade delivers exceptional edge retention, strength, and precision cutting performance.
