Interest in non-Salt hawkbills?

[VashHash]

I'd take a spyderhawk in any steel honestly. Sal has mentioned if he does another Hawkbill it'll be based on the superhawk. I can work with that too if they remove the choil and put more usable edge. I've thought about having my superhawk reground to remove the choil but it would change the whole curvature of the blade.

Again I would buy a Spyderedged SUPERHAWK in a New York minute :rolleyes: But the one Non-Salt Hawkbill that I want to return more than just about anything else would be the G-10 Harpy with a newer/better blade steel and the more recent type of G-10 like the stuff they used on the G-10 Ayoob Sprint Run.

If they ever bring back the Spyderhawk even with a Non-Salt blade steel I believe those would sell very fast. But still the G-10 Harpy tops my list at this time second to that would be a Spyderhawk with G-10 scales.

Definitely would take a G10 harpy. I'd also "settle" for a G10 unlined spyderhawk :D

I have wanted a PE g-10 harpy for a while. The Tasman has had to be a substitute.

Then "ZrowN1s" you need to lobby hard with the rest of us because otherwise you will never find a PE, G-10 handled Harpy . Because the only time they made the G-10 handled Harpy was back in the ATS-55 era and from two people I used to chat with at SFO said that they were only Spyderedged versions made during that one run of G-10 Harpy models in the late 90s.

But I want both the SE & PE variants of the hopefully upcoming G-10 Harpy. I brought it up to Mr. Glesser just the other day on one of the threads and he appears to be positive about it with what he said. It's probably going to just be a Sprint Run but that's OK with me if they just do it in SE & PE both this time. I'll buy two of each variant because the Harpy with a G-10 handle is so much easier to work with than the stainless handled units are.

As far as stainless handled PE Harpy models go they are on the rare and endangered list of Spyderco folders. Even a PE, VG-10 Harpy is a really tough one to find and they don't show up for sale very often. Now there used to be a Japanese website and I believe it was G-Sakai that offered PE, VG-10 Harpy models but they were not cheap so forget about bargain hunting that one. But I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that Sal will come through for us on that one.

Sal, if you're reading this, I'm with JD, we need an SE and PE Harpy in G-10! ...and FRN ... and liner-less Carbon Fiber ....and Vg-10 / HAP-40 / MAXAMET / LC200N, Lock back or Compression lock, maybe a flipper :D When ever you've got time

edit* all joking aside, A g-10 or CF harpy really would fill a hole in the line up.

I would very much like to see a Tasman in something other than H1 and PE.

I recently bought my youngest daughter one of these and for her application I got it in SE. For my uses and preferences, I'm a PE kind of guy but my reading on H1 put the edge retention pretty low. I really like the knife but the steel choice just now kept me from buying it in favor of a ZDP-189 Delica.

A number of years ago, as a stocking stuffer type thing, my wife gave me a couple little pocket knives. Folded, they were basically coin shaped and the blades were about an inch. One of them was a hawkbill. The knife was junk but man what a great utilitarian blade design.

This is the $6 knife I carried for years before Spyderco. It was my EDC work knife. Back then I worked for a busy coffee shop that sold bulk coffee beans and had to open anywhere between 25-50 bags of coffee and cardboard boxes every day. This little knife saw a lot of action and was never sharpened once. I wish Spyderco would make one this size, they are very very useful. My ladybug salt comes close, but isn't quite big enough.
