The Spyderco Harpy (brand part no. C08S) is a 2.75-inch stainless steel folding knife built around a distinctive hawkbill blade shape that pierces with the point and draws material into the natural curve of the edge, similar to an animal’s claw. Made in Seki City, Japan, the Harpy is a favorite among anglers, boaters, and everyday carriers who need a knife that excels at cutting rope, line, webbing, and other fibrous material rather than general-purpose tasks. Its fully serrated VG-10 blade and secure back lock make it a dependable tool for anyone who regularly deals with cordage in the field or on the water.
