Worth it

Posted by D on 28th Jan 2024

I admit I bought this partly because of the name and the traditional style combined with state of the art materials and thoroughly modern look. To me it's an understated work of design art really. But what I really bought it for is throwing and after owning it for 2 days I got it dialed in at 40 feet so here are a few good and bad points as a thrower. First the grip texture is very aggressive, almost sharp, so I had to wrap tape around the bottom few inches. Second from the photos I somehow thought the head was permanently secured with steel pins but it turns out they are T8 torx barrel bolts with screws on one side only. Soft as **** and I stripped the threads. I mean I know how not to strip threads but it still happened so now there is like quarter of a millimeter of play on the head. The weird thing is I'm not at all bothered, the polymer handle is bombproof and a tiny bit of play won't hurt it until I get around to coming up with my own fix. The truth is for £56 quid you can't have it all and generally I find the quality of Chinese T8 threads really really dodgy so I don't blame the tool overall for that. Overall this hawk is still totally worth it, 100% and I might buy another to throw as a pair.
