PSARK or GARRA??

[Waldganger]

Hey there knuts,

I'm looking into buying a hawkbill style folder, and I was wondering which is preferred, the Emerson P-Sark or the Blackhawk Garra?

or is there some form or hawkbill that compares in regards to construction, fit and finish and hard use ability?

I like the wave but don't mind if I don't have it available, I'm looking for G-10 scales, a framelock if available, if not a liner lock, and a 3-4 inch plain edge blade.

I also don't mind going custom but I don't have heaps to spend, and if I get production I can shop around.

thanks in advance

or maybe a plain edge harpy?
are they still available?

or the tasman salt plain edge?

the handles aren't as good as either the emerson or the blackhawk, but I doubt I'd be using it hard enough to warrant the extra grip.

what does everyone think?

My vote goes for either the Tasman Salt or the Harpy.

how grippy is carbon fiber? I've found a CF handled plain edge harpy for a bit over 100 and I like the look of that.

Does CF compare to G-10?

thanks
