Hell yeah! That's payday!Tuesday
There used to be that one Japan knife distributing company and I believe it was G-Sakai if I remember correctly. They offered those plain edged Harpy models along with several other older models that were no longer offered here in the USA. I haven't even seen a PE Harpy for sale or trade in probably 2 years or so.Plain edge harpy
If you do serious pruning, landscaping and garden work you will eventually get your saw dull.Maybe a better question would be what were you going to be sawing through that would dull the teeth?
I want another IMPALA model with the guthook like the one you've got pictured really bad. I'm hoping that Spyderco will do a Sprint Run of this great Spyderco outdoor classic. If I remember right I believe that model was also available in combo edge. And I do like a combo edge for outdoor uses.Being an outdoorsman,I would like to see some of the collaborations which were designed for hunters.
I'd suspect for the size of that thing it was meant for light use like hiking and so on where you might want to clean up blowdown but no for full on landscaping.If you do serious pruning, landscaping and garden work you will eventually get your saw dull.
With that said I will just go with the Swiss made Felco line of gardening equipment. They offer jigs to sharpen their pruning and garden saws with. But yes during intense use you will dull the saw just doing the work it's intended to do.
But the old Spydersaw was a nice tool though..

I think you can still get the TASMAN in PE. But if you're like me I would also rather have the Harpy model. It's just a little bit better built.
As often as the request for the PE Harpy continues to come up I'm kind of surprised that they just don't keep it available.

Glad you brought up that Wegner model from the late 90s. I've had at least 6 of those and about 4 of the Wegner Jr. models over the years. I did like the Wegner models that Spyderco put out but I still personally liked Spyderco's Ed Scott IMPALA model just a bit better. The Wegners and the Scott IMPALA were both great outdoor/hunting models>> and again it's probably a Ford vs Chevy argument for sure>> but I liked the IMPALA just a bit better for ergonomic reasons if nothing else.Perhaps you're thinking about the Tim Wegner C48.
Now the ROOKIE is one Spyderco model that I truly think came out perfect from the beginning. I actually rate it as being a near perfect EDC folder. I would love a Rookie just the way they are with a supersteel blade and a G-10 handle.Air and cqi rookie.
100% for a no CQI Rookie!Now the ROOKIE is one Spyderco model that I truly think came out perfect from the beginning. I actually rate it as being a near perfect EDC folder. I would love a Rookie just the way they are with a supersteel blade and a G-10 handle.
I tend to like the bigger folders for the work I do most of the time. But that ROOKIE model was/is great just the way it is.
Now it's big brother the Classic POLICE model>> there are a lot of possibilities that can be done with that model.
Ok then no cqi, either way the Rookie. Although I’d like the handle thickness between the original and the sprint.Now the ROOKIE is one Spyderco model that I truly think came out perfect from the beginning.

I missed the boat on that TUFF model when it was available and I've always wanted to try one out. It looks like a super rugged tank of a knife and they were made with great blade steel as well.I would love to see the Bowie, Tuff, and Sage 4 make a comeback.
