The Blackhawk design was created to introduce a compact self-defense tool to add as part of the Blackout series. It’s a unique design made to be carried by the military, first responders, and your everyday outdoor enthusiast. The head has a 1.5” 90deg striking area, a glass breaker on the back, and a mean under hook that extends past the fingers. The edges of the head have been beveled instead of rounded off to keep it clean and still provide protection against hot spots. For the handle, I wanted to focus on comfort and texture for repeated hand placement memory while keeping the lower portion consistent with the other Blackout designs. The handle and overall shape are for the user to use and grip however they want, rather your vertical, horizontal, or reverse- it doesn't matter. We added a glass breaker to the bottom, rounded off the inside hook, and beveled the butt. This mainly focused on keeping both ends of the BlackHawk useable regardless of what grip the user has it in. Small enough to keep in your glovebox or your belt, I think the end user will be satisfied with the BlackHawk.
