Spyderco Harpy – C08 – VG-10 Serrated Hawksbill Blade
The C08 Harpy features a hawk bill blade and was first introduced in 1987. Harpy variations with G-10 and CF handles also exist.
Designed by Sal Glesser, based on the claw of the Harpy eagle, the C08 is shaped for controlled pulling cuts. The hawk-bill blade shape originated in the marine/fishing industry where severing rope, line, webbing and netting is done at arm’s length quickly and efficiently. The curving arc holds what you’re cutting against the sharpened edge keeping it from slipping off the tip.
Custom knifemaker David Boye developed the dent in the locking lever, which insures the blade remains securely locked open when gripping the handle with force. The cut out of the handle is a drying vent allowing air to circulate around the blade when closed wet. The Metal clip is positioned for tip down carry.
This particular model was manufactured from 2002 through to 2007.
This is a Pre-Owned knife from a Private Collection and has no sign of use or sharpening, there is no box with this knife.
