<p>In Episode 470, Luffy feels as if both his hands got cut by Mihawk's sword. And then immediatly after that, feeling he stopped that attack.</p>

<p>So, is it possible that it was the first time Luffy had experienced/activated the Kenbunshoku Haki?</p>

It might be, but it was never confirmed. Mihawk just called Luffy "clearheaded", but in retrospect there is a big probability of it being Haki.
