Spyderco harpy

#1

Post by Chevyguy212 »

I got a fully serrated harpy with the smaller blade 2 3/4” blade stamped seki- Japan and the “spyderco” logo on the front of the blade is a different font from modern knives alike it is all stainless and I’d love to hear input on a aprox year made also to note the patent is on the pocket clip and reads 4347665

Welcome to the forum. The Harpy is a great knife.

You can find Harpy information here: https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C08_Harpy

I totally agree with "wrdwrght" that the Harpy is a most useful Hawkbill blade with a vast amount of practical uses. Now I do like the serrated version much better for my own practical purposes>> and a plain edged version isn't all that easy to acquire.

Now for a lot of my jobs that I use a Hawkbill for I tend to use the Spyderhawk model a lot. But for everyday carry and an ideal companion blade to go with your main EDC you can't hardly beat a Harpy. I wish at some point Spyderco would bring back their G-10 handled Harpy. But even the Stainless handled model is a really nice tool for several uses. And Welcome To the Forum by the way.

If you like Hawkbill blades you've come to the right place :cheap-sunglasses
