I was not prepared for this. Unboxing the NEW Hawk Knives Shortcut 

I am your greatest fan. Not in the sense that I like you or enjoy your content the most, but in the sense that I am the greatest.

The mechanism reminds me of my Granpa locking his knees when he over extended getting up to grab his Stanley blade in a hurry. I wish he lived to see this day. Ironically his new knees would have cost the same back then as this box cutter.

Sweet. Looking forward to the batoning it’s second only to unboxings.

Deadlock is the only EDC knife I ever want in my life. They're built so damn cool in every aspect. I'm jealous you got some.

I've never heard this dudes normal, non-sarcastic, non-dry-wit voice. Amazing.

I love your infectious excitement at getting this new Hawk, which exudes strongly on this video. It includes unboxing and box destruction too. It's a fantastic knife and it looks so cool. And practice makes perfect on the flipping. ❤

If you have a deadlock feel free to pry with it. Best advise ever do it DO IT

For whatever absurd amount I'm sure they'll charge for this, needing to carry a tool around to change the blade seems like a misstep. Considering the level of engineering that goes into their other knives not having a unworldly-strong quick change blade mechanism is a vast disappointment. As always, happy to see you giddy over your new finger chopper.

That's awesome! I've never seen knives with a built in roach clip. Brilliant!

but can it baton?

Very cool! Love my Shortcut, great evolution of the folding utility blade.

I have to say, this was the most bizarre video you’ve ever uploaded. It was like watching you do an impression of a Metal Complex unboxing 😂 I’m not complaining,I’m here for the weird. Do Pete next 🥸

That has to be one of the coolest exchange-a-blade knives out there!

Most beautiful utility blade knife I've ever seen but I don't want to cry when something snags it out of the edge of my pocket at work and teleports the 500$ knife into another dimension where it can never be found.

I actually had alot of fun watching you have fun with this. This is totally the type of enthusiasm I get from a new knife

That little “yeaaaah” when you activated the mudd was hilarious

Really really dig that one.

My favorite design element of Hawk knives is their spring loaded clip. You know what else is impressive? That long awaited meatloaf review you promised us so many years ago…

Man, i picked up two in the first drop. A little disappointed they didn't come with the fancy packaging. Simultaneously relieved to watch another knife knerd knearly lose a finger tip awkwardly learning how to flip it closed. Haha. Love the channel. Keep em comin.

What better pocket clip is there than a clothes pin?

i need a shortcut in my life.

That is one cool logo

Damn that is wickedly cool but I laughed when I went to the site and saw the $400+ price tag with a limit of 2. If I had won the lotto I could see dropping almost 1k on 2 box opener but as an average working pesant, I'll stick to the free slide box opener I can get at work till I save up a whole weeks salary for something this cool.

Thanks for the video! May this beautiful cutter aid you in unpacking beer, which one day hopefully results in a beer review

Once you pop, you can't stop. Babysitter told me that once.

I’m torn on this one. On one hand, I love Hawk products and I think this is a clever little tool. But on the other hand I just do not understand expensive/high end Stanley knives nor people who buy them. It’s sort of like if someone came out with a really expensive custom pipe snake/toilet auger.

More like overbuilt awesomeness.

Love your videos. Thanks for making them. You handle knives better than that one guy. You rule so there…

“I like to be part of the problem.” 😂😂😂

Great budget choice. I'm sticking with my byrd.

I love M390 jokes!

You lucky bastard!!!! That’s one of my grails you got there sir!!!! Congratulations

Let’s be honest, the T9 tool needed to take out a utility blade that normally takes 3 seconds…serated blade…clunky closing mechanism.. OOS has entered the chat.

Live ASMR box cutting! Oh yea 😊

Love it, and I'm looking forward to the feeling of disappointment I get when it drops, whether it's from missing the drop or paying $400 for a box cutter 🤷

Awesome video. That thing looks amazing and now I want one too

Hope to grab one this week... But living in the mountain state definitely has some perks.. But the Internet isn't one!! Lol I've literally never gotten lucky on a drop But hey l am using an s23ultra and will be sitting by my router so The sun shines on a dog's ass every now and then 😂

I need this actually

Day 1 of mustard sandwiches and gas station coffee to save the scratch to purchase this masterpiece. In all honesty, that is some dope ass kit you got there. ...grrr, ok fine. i just wanted to say "save the scratch" in a sentence and this is the only place i could get away with it.

Initial thought was that it looks great! then I realized you need a tool to change the blade like an old fashioned Stanley knife! Surely someone could've improved that aspect.

very cool knife! anyway, I'm *more* than happy and satisfied with my Tirant Razor V3. More. you should give it a fair try too bro! 😅

Clearly this would make the "Knives that make me happy" list.

God tier craft knife.

I was already prepared just missed the last drop. I'm ready for this one!

This is pretty cool! I think one reason is that I wouldn't be afraid of messing up the blade, so I would be willing to carry the knife more often.

love every video. please keep up the great work. i'm too poor for patreon, but i watch every video until the end my friend!

I got some of those serrated blades a few months ago and they are really good. I use them in my little Aerocrafted and RUK.

No one is prepared for a 400 dollar box cutter.

proceeds to immediately cover money shot lol

Really nice. Makes me miss my v2 Chavez c.h.u.b.

Very very cool

Badass mark! Awesome 😎

Way to be part of the problem! And the taking of my money. I guess problems plural really…

"What's in the box", my favorite movie question ever. Favorite movie song, "Scotty doesn't know".

Masterpiece lineup 🙌 I may have to get me a Shortcut.

Hey, this wasn’t the usual knife bro. I don’t think this was the advanced knife bro, just the regular knife bro.

I can't believe what I just saw with my own eyes!

👍. My night made. 😍.

Live it! Sweet work mark. FYI I may jump you for you hoodie…😮

Schaweet, impressive collection of Hawk knives.

Appreciate the lightsaber sound effects while cutting cardboard

You totally timed this video to release with the new shortcut drop email. I was already gonna buy one and now ill cry if i miss it😂 curse you

Neat

Yes, it is really cool looking. Thing is, that mechanism, if slicing, would get really dirty and impede slicing. It is a cool mechanism, and the knife itself is sweet. Nice eollectible.

Very interesting on the packaging it came in. the one I got from the first drop was just in a cloth bag wrapped in paper. no torx tool or extra blades or fancy case. Kind of peeved about it because I paid the same price.

Pop. Lock. And drop it! 🎶

I usually don't like utility knifes that much but this ones pretty cool. Is that blade standard length etc? I've never seen serrated but is this useable with any old blade?

You could fidget your finger open pretty easily closing that bitch. It’s cool though. I almost bought one. It’s the first Hawk I could afford but still would have been my most expensive knife and a box cutter at heart. I hate unboxing videos but you do a good job and I always watch your videos.👊

Hoodies are cool, but sweat pants would have been cooler.

But, can you baton with it? Sweet box cutter, for sure.

I picked up a Fiskars utility knive that's actually a button lock. Super solid and fidgety. Twenty-one bucks Canadian with a lifetime warranty and bought a pack of Fiskars 5X longer life blades. Can't get into shop essentials that overdone.

If I'm selected as a member of the new "Alien" crew, I definitely will carry this one with a laser blade and two built-in blue lights on the side. It could be used for surgery such as removing an alien from a contaminated body or simply used as a backup weapon.

🥁 Push it… 🥁 Pop it… 🥁 Drop it… 🥁 Pull it… 🥁 Cut it…

I like it a lot. And I do like a lot you can to the Ape simpson grandpa voice on point

Good job Bro! I'm fairly sure Wranglerstar would have cut himself/herself...

I purchased the WORKPRO razor knife. I like to carry it in shorts pockets, since it's light. It doesn't require a tool to change the blade. It's not lefty friendly and neither is the Hawk. But the Hawk is cooler, Mr. AdvancedKnifeBro.

Looking forward to the IG pics where you’ve replaced the blade with a Rusty old DeWalt razor.

That's cool but... A knife is a tool, and the use case for a tool with disposable utility blades favors being able to swap those blades out without using another tool. But for fidgety finger fuxxerupper, looks awesome!

Bro this guy is funny asf

A $1200 box cutter should be cool. And it is.

When a box cutter man and a knife guy adopt a son

Watching you pry this out of a box which a steel blade while obliviously ignoring the CLEAREST instructions I’ve ever seen drove me completely fucking insane 😅😅😅

"Pop and cut ur finger off "😂😂😂

I want a shortcut so bad

Not something I'd buy, though it does look awesomely designed and machined. The sound effects almost convinced me though.

First, this thing looks cool af. Let me get that out of the way. Would I kick one of these knives outta my bed? Hell no. It's got curves in all the right places, and aside from the risk that I might lose my Johnson once the heavy petting starts, I'd be down for said petting. With that out of the way, there are two things I don't understand with this knife: 1. I don't understand the proprietary pivot stuff at all. Why in gods name would you not just make the pivot a standard T9 torx screw if you're including a friggin' T9 driver with the thing anyway? Why do we need a custom pivot driver? 2. What is that locking mechanism? It's neat and all, but _why?_ It doesn't appear to offer _any_ practical upside relative to probably any other locking mechanism on the market today. If anything, it seems like you're more likely to lose a fingertip trying to close this thing than you are relative to the majority of modern popular locking mechanisms. Both of these things scream "Hawk added complexity for complexity's sake." Again, this thing will likely be Miss July 2024 when Playboy finally gets around to doing a story on the popularity of pocket knives post-pandemic, because it's almost as sexy as Emmanuelle Chiriqui ffs. Once you've taken it for a few tumbles though, is anything about it _really_ interesting enough to keep you from getting bored long term? Idk. I don't know.

This knife lock has something, not sure exactly what, in common with a CRK Ti-Lock, i.e. the way that “button bar” slides along a track while deploying or closing… Am not sure how much it adds to function, but it sure looks cool!

Pop. And drop.

They really missed an opportunity to incorporate the t⁹ tool into the handle scales like the toothpick on a SAK maybe... :/

Man, I know that I’d slice the crap out of myself at some point with the way this one closes.

Looks like they are going after serge . Looks like that aesthetic

My shortcut constantly is dulling the blade and the blade retention screw comes loose very easily. For the price, very disappointed

That’s it!! Hawk Snuggy must be acquired. I can sit and watch sex and the city in my Hawk Snuggy deploying my Deadlock again and again. That would be so hardcore 😎

Does this take standard sized utility blades?

I do like it. but it looks to me that Hawk didn't have contractors in mind. When designing this utting off I use a utility knife every single day of my life I install garage doors and unpackaging things is an all-day progress but when you pull out your knife it definitely needs to be opened by one hand which that is opens fine opens great The issues I have is closing it You need to be able to close it quick put it in your pocket quickly jerk it out pop it out close it quick safely and another thing is is having to have an Allen wrench handy to change out the blade You're not going to have your carrying case out in the truck or on the job site it's probably in a drawer at home somewhere So now when your blade breaks or you break the tip off your blade you're in the truck digging for an Allen wrench and that's the biggest issue I have with it so the got to come up with the easy snap easy release for that blade for it to be logical for a contractor to have and contractors are always looking for a small bladed handle that can easily fit in their pocket and most of these utility knives are large heavy bulky and don't really want to keep it in your pocket all the time So this style would sell really well especially for your higher up contractors You're fancy your contractors cuz I'm pretty for sure hulk has a pretty large dollar amount for this utility knife now I haven't looked up the prices yet so I don't really know. But yeah there's a contractor's point of view definitely need some kind of easy release to slide that blade out and put a replaceable blade in its place because the person you're going to be selling it to obviously uses razors a lot if you're cutting sheetrock or if you cutting cardboard especially if you cutting cardboard you'd be surprised how cardboard will dull a knife blade a razor blade in generally it dulls them up fairly fast so within two or three days of hard work you're changing that blade out probably two to six times in a week so that means you got to pull that blade out and get on with your job you know you don't want to have to go hunt something down to go cut something you know because you blade snap and blades do snap tips do break off and they get dull So just a thought in mind would love to see this knife will purchase one myself if it comes with a design that allows you to pull the blade out without having another tool All right garage door man out

Advanced textile-&-decal bro?

I just robbed the rich dude down the road, provoked by advanced knife bro 😂🤙

Just another Hawk knife I’ll never own.

They sent me something but im not sure even tho I ordered it 6 months ago and I got two notifications that it was shipped. This fuckin guy here....

Should have used a different knife to cut each part of the tape.
