Harrier FRN has some contouring.
Look just before the finger guard. We got some contouring on the FRN Harrier instead of the edges all being blocky. I like this direction! I assume we won't see it changed on the others because it's expensive to change the molds. But this is awesome.

Re: Harrier FRN has some contouring.
Those blocky handles have been my biggest complaint for the byrds. I can't wait til they get rid of them.
So many knives, so few pockets... :)

Re: Harrier FRN has some contouring.
Sorry. Too late, molds are finished and I just received my first production sample. All in all, it's a very nice piece, especially for the price. But it's still not contoured like the Delica.

Re: Harrier FRN has some contouring.
I don't mind the blocky handles but D4/E4 style would certainly be better.
As it stands I always take some sandpaper/files to all my Byrds when they come in to round out and smooth the handles. Makes a $20-30 knife feel like a $60 knife basically for free. The contouring is a nice touch on the Harrier.
I honestly prefer the handle design on the Byrds to their Spyderco counterparts. The CC2 is basically an Endura 5 as far as ergonomics go and the Harrier basically the Endela 2.

It's not quite Delica contoured, but it's close!
