A recent and very pleasant trade with J Smith has equipped me with two new Spydies...
A G-10 Harpy and a Wegner Jr. w/ the 60/40 edge. What handsome knives these are.
I have wanted to get a G-10 Harpy for a long time now, and now that I see it in person it's even nicer than I had expected. What a robust design it is. The blade thickness along the spine inspires much confidence, as does the steel liner along one side. The G-10 is very grippy and the action smooth. I'll write more about this knife once I've done more cutting with it. This knife still has the factory edge I believe, and man is it sharp!
The Wegner Jr. is new to me, but the design is not. I had a pe version of the Jr. awhile back which I traded, and still own a large, plain edged Wegner. I wasn't sure how useful I'd find the combo edge on this smaller blade but again, now that I see it in person and have used it a bit I really like it. This Wegner Jr. could well become one of my most used small EDCs. I am always impressed by the manufacturing quality of the Wegner collaborations when I see them. Very nice indeed.
