To the powers that be at Spyderco, some suggetions for the large Harpy/Merlin that hopefully might become a reality someday.



Debut the Cobra Hood opener on this model, as it might attract more people to buy it. Which might convert more people to this blade style, which I think some have a bias against. Untill they try it, the leverage you get for cutting, and it's ease of use to get at odd angles, make this a great EDC stlye blade.



Enlarged Spyderhole, this in combination with the Cobra Hood should make it easy to open with gloves on.



I know Sal is leaning to a FRN handle, which is fine. But how about a short run in G-10 for the Forumites<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> I luv my G-10 Harpy just wish it was bigger.



For the short term I will be buying a Camillus Claw soon. To address the size and opening with gloves on problem, as winter will be upon us soon<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

May I ask a question? How big is your harpy knife?

In total? Please can you refer to it in Centimeters?

Thanks

FWIW -- Knife Center lists the blade length on the Merlin as 2 7/8&quot; or 73mm. It just lists the 2 7/8&quot; for the Harpy SS.

Oh and I'll switch to a Matirach on the weekends, just in case;&gt; As I do not need the utility aspects then. As I have plenty of other Spydie's laying around home for
that, but any Spydie laying around work disappear's<img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle> So have to keep any knife I have on my person while there.
