DOTW # 37 The Arc Angel

[JIMMY_MAC]

The Arc Angel was released in March of 1999, the next model after the Scorpion. To the best of my knowledge, the Arc Angel was the first OTF hawkbill auto in production. These knives were supplied with pocket clips and used the standard Dalton etched logo. We have never seen any handle colors beside black, or blade finishes beside beadblast. I have yet to spot a Proto marked Arc Angel, but they likely exist. The only two variations that I am aware of are plain blades and serrated blades.

Overall length: about 7 – 11/16"
Handle Length: 5 – 1/8"
Blade Length: 2 – ¾��? on the inside curve.
Handle Thickness: 0.487" excluding the clip
Blade Thickness: 0.124"

[/HTML]This is the one that got away. When a Arc went up for sale 1 or 2 others had there eye set on the knife as I did. I missed out to other collectors asking the seller for the same knife and price.(@#$%)
