Thats a Harpy right?
Didn't know there was a G-10 version. Looks great. Good catch!

G-10 Harpy!!! Nice knife. It is on my list of "grail knives". Whenever one pops up, something always prevents me from getting it. Enjoy your new knife.

I finally got one of these a little while back. Definitely the best version of the Harpy in my book. I just wish they would do a G-10 Spyderhawk! :eek:

This has become my main EDC knife now. Usually with another Spyderco in the other front pocket. (And of course, the Ladybug Hawkbill that is on my keyring.)

I wish it was still in production. I would buy at least two more! :D

Nice! I've been enjoying the hawkbills recently too. Just got a CF Harpy and a PE Merlin in the last few weeks. The G-10 looks like it would be great to use.

Or a H1 with stainless handle like a Mariner......I would be on that like white on rice.

Very nice! Looks good with the orange para-cord. I noticed something special about the blade on the G-10 version that is different from the FRN versions, can anyone else see it? Did Spyderco ever produce a G-10 FRN merlin or did the H-1 take over about that time? Take care.

Nice pictures and welcome to the club of hawbills. Agent Starling and I (probably the biggest Harpy fans on this site) officially welcome you to our exclusive club. :) I'm a plain edge fan so it's only the Merlin and carbon fiber versions for me.

I must need my eyes checked because lately it seems whenever I focus on one thing I actually see four. :)

I too am a big fan of the hawkbills.

My CF Harpy get quite a bit of pocket time as well as my beater merlin.
Oh and dont forget my Matriarch.


I have owned a spyderhawk which was quite simply a beast and have a few tasmans which I loved.

Thanx, but as I said, that pic doesn't show ALL of them. I have four Matriarchs too. One black (Until recently, unknown variant not currently listed in the Spydiewiki yet), one grey, and both of the new browns.

I really DO need to take some new pics! :D
