That last one is particularly interesting. The cutout in the handle looks like a shackle opener you’d see on a sailing knife. Serrated hawkbill blade works well for cutting rope. But then it’s VG-10 steel instead of the saltwater-compatible H1. What’s the story?
The cut out is in fact a shackle key/drying vent. However, the Harpy is an older model and the first Spyderco to use the hawkbill blade shape. At the time of its release I don’t believe they were using H1.

Thank you for sharing the historical background of that serrated, hawkbill’ed, stainless-scaled, shackle-keyed Spyderco sailing knife. 😀
I’ve always had Wichard sailing knives. Now I’ll have to see if I can track down a sailing knife from Spyderco. (I do usually carry a yellow Saver Salt or Atlantic Salt on my PFD.)

Now that this knife is in FRN with the full flat grind, my interest is for sure peaked. Question though, does it have liners?Viper101 said: ↑

No, it doesn’t. The scales are rather thick while being short, so you cannot bend it like ones on Endura, for example. The knife is feather light, yet sturdy. It cuts like a beast and holds the edge very well.gemini said: ↑

Interesting. I love the look of the native, and that one is very affordable. I get nervous though about no liners. I don’t know why. I have never in my life used my knife for a ‘hard-use’ task. Might have to go on my list. Though it will be behind the yojimbo…
