There is, it's been my primary EDC for a long time, and one of my most beloved Spydies. Nice collection of Vieles by the way!

It shouldn't be a problem. I saw them quite often on e-bay, much more frequently than C42 in VG10. I used to have one and sold it after I found PE in VG10. C42 in AUS8 used to be fairly inexpensive, around $100-120 NIB.
good luck hunting :)

Harpy's, great little Hawkbill knife, love this range but then again I love Hawkbills...............this is one of the categories, I'll shoot Merlin, Spyderhawk and Tasmin as I can..............

Bottom left to top right CF Harpy SE and PE, Black G-10 SE, Stainless PE and SE; all are VG10 steel except for the G10 which is ATS-55 steel...............I'm assuming there is also a PE version of the latter?

JESTER's, lots of gaps here but slowly getting there.........the green one at the bottom is my office EDC knife its on my keyring............ ;)

Image

Top to bottom, Stainless PE, Red Micarta PE and Black G-10 PE with the Green SE on the key ring underneath............

Image

I'm going to have to clean the blade on the Greenie its spotted and stained from me cutting stems and other detrus off Broccoli and other veg.........I object to Supermarkets leaving huge stems on such vegetables and then charging me by the kilo, means I pay for rubbish I don't eat! :rolleyes:

Nice knives. I have only one of each Jester and Meerkat, so i am a little jealous. :o my fault: i missed meerkat sprint, and I could buy as many jesters as i want at reasonable price, but for some reasons I didn't like them than. Orange Ladybug opened my eyes on little knives ;)

Nice D2 Millie Brian :) Mine is a regular EDC in my rotation. It makes a great garden knife and also for picnics it come in very handy. This one holds an edge that is wicked sharp and fairly easy to maintain too.... well except the propensity for the D2 to patina :p
