The Harpy from Spyderco like the Harpy eagle's claw is shaped for controlled pulling cuts. The stainless hawkbill blade is fully serrated for the cutting of fibrous materials like rope, belts, etc. The stainless steel handle has a David Boye designed dent in the lock back lever to reduce the possibility of unintentionally releasing the blade. The Harpy comes with a pocket clip for ambidextrous, tip-up or tip-down carry.
