==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C36G:

"''A cornerstone in Spyderco's Save and Serve line up, the Military Model came about after someone asked Spyderco's owner Sal Glesser, "If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you send him with?" For certain, it had to meet the requirements of a high-performance, light-weight folder designed for hard use.''

''Since the steel is the spirit of the knife, CPM-S30V with almost 2% carbon seemed the logical choice for the blade given its reputation for long-term edge retention and rust resistance. The 'Millie' has a modified clip-point blade laser cut with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for quick deployment and for use with gloves. Texturing above the hole hold the thumb in contact with the blade's spine during cutting for confident control over the sharpened edge. The handle scales are G-10 with the lock's liner nested (inlayed) directly into the scale, pumping up lock strength without the addition of bulky liners. Spacers between the scales create a gap running the handle's full length exposing the inside workings for inspection and cleaning. The handle flares slightly at the front end creating a finger choil and at the butt end, which keeps the knife from slipping forward or backward in the hand while sawing or making tough or aggressive cuts. A contoured black metal clip is set for right-hand tip-down carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C36G Military in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=19 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

C36G:

"''A cornerstone in Spyderco's Save and Serve line up, the Military Model came about after someone asked Spyderco's owner Sal Glesser, "If your son were going into the military what folding knife would you send him with?" For certain, it had to meet the requirements of a high-performance, light-weight folder designed for hard use.''

''Since the steel is the spirit of the knife, CPM-S30V with almost 2% carbon seemed the logical choice for the blade given its reputation for long-term edge retention and rust resistance. The 'Millie' has a modified clip-point blade laser cut with a 14 mm Spyderco Round Hole for quick deployment and for use with gloves. Texturing above the hole hold the thumb in contact with the blade's spine during cutting for confident control over the sharpened edge. The handle scales are G-10 with the lock's liner nested (inlayed) directly into the scale, pumping up lock strength without the addition of bulky liners. Spacers between the scales create a gap running the handle's full length exposing the inside workings for inspection and cleaning. The handle flares slightly at the front end creating a finger choil and at the butt end, which keeps the knife from slipping forward or backward in the hand while sawing or making tough or aggressive cuts. A contoured black metal clip is set for right-hand tip-down carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C36G Military in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=19 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

C08 Harpy

2011-01-12T06:32:08Z

Rycen: /* Pictures */

The C08 Harpy features a [[hawkbill]] blade and was first introduced in 1987. In 1993 the same blade was combined with an [[FRN]] handle and then named [[C21 Merlin]]. The [[C21 Merlin]] was discontinued in 1996, but reappeared in 1999 with an updated [[FRN]] handle, now named C08BK Harpy. Harpy variations with [[G-10]] and [[CF]] handles also exist.

==Appearance in catalogs==

The C08 Harpy appeared in the following annual Spyderco product catalogs ([http://www.spydie.nl/catalogs/ older], [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/download.php newer]):

* C08 Stainless Steel: 1990, 1991-1992?, 1993, 1994, 1995-1996?, 1997, 1998, and then all Spyderco catalogs since 2000
* C08BK: 2000-2003 Spyderco catalogs
* C08CF: 2005 Sprint runs flyer
* C08G: 1998-1999 Spyderco catalogs
* C21: 1993-1994 Spyderco catalogs

==History, mentionings from the forums etc.==

* [http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showpost.php?p=385904&postcount=5 Comments] by "The Deacon" on the Harpy history.

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

"''Like the claw of the Harpy eagle the C08 is shaped for controlled pulling cuts. The hawkbill blade shape originated in the marine/fishing industry where severing rope, line, webbing and netting is done at arm's length quickly and efficiently. The curving arc holds what you're cutting against the sharpened edge keeping it from slipping off the tip. Custom knifemaker David Boye developed the dent in the locking lever, which insures the blade remains securely locked open when gripping the handle with force. Cut out of the handle is a drying vent allowing air to circulate around the blade when closed wet. Metal clip is positioned for tip down carry.''"<ref name="current catalog">The C08 Harpy in [http://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=3 Spyderco's online catalog]</ref>

==Variations==

All Harpy variations are made in Seki City, Japan, and have a [[Back Lock]] locking mechanism and a [[hawkbill]] shaped blade.

C61 Pegasus

2009-02-18T17:41:53Z

Rycen:

The C61 Pegasus is a small knife with a short blade designed for travel by air and business carry. It can be viewed as a descendant of the [[C09 CoPilot]] and shares very similar design goals.

Initially introduced in 1996 as the CX01 Experimental 1, in 1998 (?) this model was assigned the C61 [[SKU]] and given the name "Pegasus".

A very similar model designed and introduced in parallel to the Pegasus exists: The [[C62 Navigator]] has a slightly different and larger blade shape and a [[G-10]] handle.

==Appearance in catalogs==

The C61 Pegasus appeared in the following [http://www.spydie.nl/catalogs/ catalogs]:
* 1998? Ironstone (CX01)
* 1999 Spyderco Products (C61)

==Designer==

[[Sal Glesser]]

==History, mentionings etc. from the forums==
The Pegasus bears the distinction of beeing the first model to have a CX- Sku assigned to it, before becoming a regular production item.

The Pegasus is one of the lesser known Spyderco models and in comparison to many other models is only discussed rarely on the forums.

* See e.g. the "Any Pegasus Fans Out There?" [http://www.spyderco.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6524 thread] on the Spyderco forums.

==Information from the Spyderco catalog on the web==

Not listed.

==Variations==

The C61 Pegasus is made in Seki-City, Japan.
