G-10 Harpy....Hmmmmmm.

Sorry,

I wasn't reading carefully. This image likely displays YOUR Harpy, correct?

I notice that the blade polish, G-10 finish, etc look much nicer than they do on the picture of the tip up version. The tip down model also looks like it would ride very low in the pocket, judging from the appearance clip position.

Jeff,

I can't comment about the earlier version but the fit and finish on my G10 Harpy is first rate. You're right, the clip is very close to the top of the scale and the knife rides very low in the pocket. However mine has a "Harpy trap" from Mike Sastre and rarely sees a pocket.

Jeff, I just picked up a G10 this AM from OSO Grande (http://www.osograndeknives.com/. David indicated he had a few left. Good Luck.

Thanks Clay. That's what I was wondering about...the "ride". I really enjoy a knife that sits low in the pocket.

Jack - Thanks for the reference to Oso Grande. I may just order one of those.

Sharp1,

Thank you very much. That's the place to order one from alright.

Cheers, Jeff.

Personally, I prefer g-10 to the stainless handles. I would think the stainless would get pretty slick when wet. And I think g-10 looks better.

Well,

I went out and bought the stainess Harpy today. It's a sweet little thing, with a not-so-sweet attitude. I really like it. I would prefer it without the drying vent in the side of the scale, as it's a bit rough on the fingertips and I don't really think I'll ever submerge it. Besides, the G-10 version doesn't have this vent, so how do they dry out their innards? This seems like a bit of an inconsistency to me.

Anyhow, I'm already making inquiries about the G-10 Harpy as I have now decided that I most certainly do need one of those. Grin.
