Hello-

I am having a hell of a time finding a spyderhawk, and time is running out!

Today seems to be the last day of a four day unusually late noreaster, and the lobster boat I work on is due to be back in the water by saturday. This means that most likely, we will have a fun :rolleyes: time of untangling hundreds of lobster pots and lines. I see this as a PRIME opportunity to test out a spyderhawk in a commercial fishing environment. Unfortunately, I do not have one, and am having difficulty finding one online. I do have an ats-55 merlin, which I've contemplated taking, but I really want to try the longer vg-10 hawkbill blade.

I have a rescue 79mm up for trade in the exchange, but no offers on it. Anyone know a reputable online dealer who has one in stock and can get it here overnight.

help me please!

cheers
Pete
 
You probably want serrated, but I've got a blue handled plain edge one. It like new no box. I think it's VG-10.
 
Sorry to be a pig, but I got one from Jensen not long ago, I think it might well have been his last one. Botach lists them as in stock. However, you might look around GBU first, I've never dealt with them personally.
 
ah we got the weekend off :) the engine's here, but the late noreaster wet everything enough that the fiberglass work couldn't be done. so, no need for the hawk.

slatts- :) thanks for the offer. serrated or plain didn't really matter as much as price. but now I'm not in such a hurry to get a hold of one. I still may take you up on your offer later though if you don't mind. I have some tests in mind for blade shapes.

everyone else- thanks for the input. :)

cheers
