Harpy Stainless Steel, one of the most popular knives offered on the market with a Hawkbill head. The rounded shape of the blade is extremely effective, mimicking the way an eagle's talons tear - piercing and cutting.
The shape of the blade allows control of the object to be cut, keeping it on the curved sharpened edge, preventing the object from slipping off the end of the blade. The first knife to integrate the dynamics of the Hawkbill blade profile with the extraordinary cutting power of the serrated SpyderEdge blade.
Blade - made of Japanese VG-10 stainless tool steel (high resistance to abrasion and mechanical damage), characterised by good sharpness retention. Blade hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. Hollow grind allows effective cutting with serrated cutting surface and ultra thin tip. Round SpyderHole (Spyderco patent) for quick thumb opening of the knife. Back-Lock with additional protection against accidental release of the lock during strong grip of the knife (notch in the lock) designed by David Boye.
Handle - covered with chamfered, satin stainless steel facings. The profiled cover provides a comfortable, secure grip even with wet hands. A hollow seat in one of the liners serves as a spanner to loosen / tighten the shackle and allows air circulation to dry a wet blade faster. Robust hourglass clip with 4-way clip positions in four planes (up/down, right/left). In the back of the handle a hole (lanyard hole) for the line.
Spyder Edge - (Spyderco patent) serrated blade usually has a few millimetres of smooth blade on the tip side. The Spyder blade consists of alternating one large and two small teeth, the so-called two-step. This pattern increases the length of the cutting edge by up to 24% compared to a straight blade. Ideal for cutting hard materials, plastics and fibrous materials. It proves its worth in, among other things, rescue sailing, diving.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
