HARPY problems

[sublime451]

well i bought a harpy with g-10 handles and its the sweetest knive i currently own. im looking at the calypso jr though. but thats not the issue at hand. The clothing clip got caught on something and bent on me. so i took it off and bent it back. Then i tried to screw it back in and it worked for a little but it never has been the same tightness as before. So i dont feel comfertable carrying it becuase i dont wanna loose it but i hate not having a EDC knife. Anyone got any suggestions?

[Tightwad]

No suggestions, I just want you to tell me, how big it is, completely, in Centimeters, please.

I'm interested in buying one also so I need to know more about it. Thanks allready, I hope you get your knife back in normal working order though.

You can check with Spyderco's Factory Outlet
Phone 1.800.828.1925

They usually have a selection of replacement clips for a small fee. Also they recommend using a very small drop of non-hardening Loctite on the threads when tightening the srews.

Good luck, Its a great knife, worth getting it back in service.

I would say that the clips don't cost much. I would order 2 replacements from spyderco just in case it happens agian. the only time this happened to me was on my SS pro Grip but it was as tight as ever when bent back becuase of the insert in the clip

I have the same problem when getting up from my chair in my garage. The clip snags on the chair and bends out. So I take it off and bend it back. Don't have loctite but my daughters nail polish works just as well.

Well, I think I can at least let the evil Hannibal know how long this great knife is

6 1/2" OAL
or about 16cm OAL

Well, sometimes I cheer for the bad guy myself, so I think we can at least let the evil Hannibal know how long the great HARPY is, no? The OAL is 6 1/2", or should I say approximately 16 cm-

[fossilhunter]

sorry, looks like I am repeating myself again-

[earthworm]

16 cm? Hm, that's long enough for me. Is the Harpy also available in a smaller version? Probably not...

By the way, they say there's hardly any difference between Harpy and Merlin, but there is, isn't there? Can you name some of those things?

[fossilhunter]

none that I can see
save for the FRN handles
and the serrations seem to be deeper?

maybe just mine

[Hannibal]

Hm. Well thanks anyway. But when I take a look at the Merlin and Harpy here, I do see a slight diffence. Don't ask me what it might be. It could be just the shape of the handle.
