hey,
i'm sorry about the multiple post, have u seen the film? in it he uses it on pazzi to gut him, then on the guy (matteo i think it was) in the lecture hall to tear his throat out, u get a fairly good view then. on the balcony he holds it up so the point curves towards him, therefore (assuming he is right handed) u can't see the serrations as they are on the side away from the camera, in the book (english version) it just says harpy then and later at the gun show he asks for a "harpy please, and a straight, serrated Spyderco with a four inch blade" and a civilian. post the picture next time you come on if you like, and i'll eat my hat as you prove me wrong.

P.S. what a great film <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

hey,
This is gonna sound far fetched.... i'm seeing your photo and it does look plain, its dark and prehaps tyhe background studio lights reflect of the serrations differently, making them darker. or prehaps they removed the serrations for the film (wouldn't want sir(thanks Dav <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)Hopkins to slice his finger off now would we?). not as for the handle/grip/whetever, on the SS harpy there is a long hole either side for draining water (evidently its a fishermans knife) i assume he is holding it in the film, so his fingers would obscure half the handle and the hole would give the impression of a flat back, i'll try to scan my SS harpy and post it l8r to show u what i mean.

Wouldn't that be "Sir Hopkins"? <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

I don't know if I'm out of line for saything this, but obsession paired with the words knives and/or guns, sort of makes a person sound nutty. I'm kind of leary of the guy who takes up the persona of a fictional, sociopathic, serial killer--and happens to collect guns and knives.

Hi Hannibal the price for the Harpy is approximately 90 dollars=200 guldens(dealer's price).
hey Hannibal do you go often to a coffee???

[vampyrewolf]

Hannibal, watch your language in here.

The harpy is 120 or so up here, or about 80-85 US(too lazy to convert exact price).

We all start with 10 fingers. Those with Spydies have 9 to spare, Still need a thumb. Good thing I still have 8 to spare...
