Hi to You all knives enthusiasts,

I will praise Byrd Robin 2 (not a review) :winking-tongue

So I am that guy who doesn't think about himself as a knife collector (although I got several knives) but more as a knife user. I don't abuse it, but simple...

I was looking at the g10 Byrd lineup as a daily user at work. I noticed that there wasn’t a wharncliffe option In g10. Does anyone know if the blade would switch over from the wharncliffe frn to a g10 handled knife?

Will the Byrd Harrier 2 Wharnie with full Spyderedge be a good edc knife?

Who is looking forward to these? I think a Robin with teeth will be joining my collection.

Hi
Recently I have been browsing web in search of small EDC knife when I came across some byrd and spyderco knives.
However I am concerned that they might be fake as on the one of the offers on the byrd robin knife there are weird holes in the scales...

Who else is so excited for the Byrd Harrier?

I guess technically this is the Harrier 2 since the first Harrier was introduced back with the original Byrd lineup.

I love the clean lines of the new Harrier, a less bulbous blade hump, and softer curves on...

Just picked up my first Byrd knife. I went with the Cara Cara 2 with the combination blade. After Day 1, I have to concur with those who have been as impressed with the Byrd line as I now am. Fit and finish, build quality, opening and lock up are all spot...

Will Spyderco sharpen a BYRD Harrier 2 for free???

This is my second Byrd 8Cr13moV knife, I lost my last one

The problem is I have arthritis in my thumbs which makes it very hard to open the knife.
My last one was not as bad as this one although my husband has one I cannot open.
Is there anything I can...

It's coming and it's pointy ! Thank you Sal ! Perfect blade size and shape for me ... I shall purchase the combo variant ! Bring in the LW ones in different colors please !

Look just before the finger guard. We got some contouring on the FRN Harrier instead of the edges all being blocky. I like this direction! I assume we won't see it changed on the others because it's expensive to change the molds. But this is awesome.

I had to grab this as soon as I saw it. The package has never been opened. Anyone else have one of these kicking around?

Will there be a Byrd version of the Manix 2, Manix 2 XL ? I would love to have one.

Why is this Byrd forum so inactive? It should be abuzz about the new Wharnies.

Hello there,

I do not come here often since I do not own any Byrd.
Here's why I came to write this thread :

Since some months now, and being influenced by some nefarious forumites, I've had a strong desire to try a knife with the infamous SpyderEdge. I...

Hey Everyone
I just got a byrd tern and im wondering about the box.
Since when does the box have 3 trademarks R on it?

Have a great day everyone :)

screenshot.png Can anyone tell me anything about this Byrd I just acquired? Seller knew nothing about it?

Recently ordered my first Byrd and just read U.S. Congress has passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act.

Does Spyderco know where (and by whom) all Chinese components of their Byrd and other Chinese lines are manufactured, assembled and shipped?...

I carried a byrd Cara Cara 2 for about half a decade after I lost my endura3 and couldn’t justify spending money on a new knife. Over All they are excellent knives as users, I would go as far as to say I can’t justify buying a VG-10 spyderco over a...

Just a quick note for anyone interested, here's a solution for both deep carry and preserving the lanyard hole on the Robin 2.

I used one of the pocket clip screw holes and took out one of the retaining screws. Both holes matched up well with this cheap...

I was wondering if the blade from a Frn Hawkbill could be swapped onto a g10 Meadowlark frame, or if there any issues i might run into?

Can anyone tell me what angle the factory grind for Byrd knife? Also, how steep of sharpening angle can the Byrd metal tolerate?

Hey Spyderco team!
What are the chances of getting a biiig Byrd like a police4?
I really like the finger choil and I think it’s be pretty cool on a big knife like that!

So I've been hesitant in purchasing a Byrd knife. My reason being, budget knives are okay for either risky endeavors (high chance of losing) or beaters.

Buck knives have generally been my go to for cheap readily available options in the risky (traveling...

I stumbled upon the model while looking at backlogs of the digital catalogs.

It looks great for backpackers and even just for around town. A lil'8Cr sheepsfoot, a Bic, and a bottle opener. Real handy all around. Best of all, it was pretty economical....

Many Spyderco models that come default with a stainless steel can also be had with a carbon steel. As either a sprint/exclusive or perennial option. It would be great if Byrd got in on the fun too, especially if they did it in the Byrd-style budget...

Byrd noob here. I only have one, a Tern that I bought used and cheap, mainly to check out the Byrd concept. The blade is not very strongly biased to either the open or closed position. Unlike my UKPKs, it's almost uncomfortably easy to close. Is this...

Forgive me if that's been asked before. On and off I am attracted to several Byrd knives, but never push the button due to being a steel snob :o .

In particular the Resilience, Tenacious and Cara Cara 2 seem attractive (love the CC2 choil when compared...

Who is ready for new Byrd models? With the price creep of Spydies at a higher rate each year, it seems like the market for more affordable knives grows. I'd like to see Spyderco take Byrd up a notch and make them competitive with some other budget lines....

1. I'd like to see more CTSBD1 used. I'd really like to see this steel offered in the Cara Cara....at least the Ti version. 8Cr works for me, but I appreciate the extra corrosion resistance of BD1.

2. Fixed blades. One of my most frequently EDC'd knives...

Is a blade swap possible, to make a hawkbill with stainless scales? I don't see screws in any pictures, so I'm guessing it can't be disassembled... but was just hoping for confirmation.

I love my hawkbill with titanium scales, but the titanium provides a...

I just got a Hawkbill byrd yesterday and I'm already thinking that I need a couple more because I think that it is such a well made utilitarian pocket knife at a very affordable price. It's sturdy and lightweight and an extremely powerful cutting tool. I...

Hi DaleKHayes,

Welcome to our forum.

sal

Thought it would look better without the hump near the tip. It turned out most of the spine needed retouched to make it straight.

There are still a few of these out there, but all above $60. For those of you who own and USE them, are they worth it over the g10?

The slimness, weight and solid backspacer appeal to me but only if there is an actual improvement over the g10.

All of my...

Pardon me if this question has already been addressed but does anyone know why we don't have any FFG options when it comes to fully serrated byrd knives?

I've been carrying the Byrd Cara Cara Rescue lately and I think the byrd Serration pattern is hands...

I keep returning to the Byrd Hawkbill as my most practical all-around edc. So I'm looking at what I might do to upgrade...

The frn scales are great, but I'd like to upgrade (either with a different material or different color). Will scales from the...

Just taking a moment to talk about the Hawkbill. It is one of my two byrds (the other a ss robin)...and I can't believe the amount of knife you get for the money (right at $20) in the Hawkbill. While I like the robin...because it is the ss version (while...

Hey Sal,

People often ask for steel upgrades in the Byrd and Budget line knives. The swap to an American steel has apparently been a bit troublesome and costly. Have you looked at 9Cr18Mo recently? I recall that back when the mule was produced, there...

Is it common practice for Byrd scales to be glued to the liners? :confused: I just took my Cara Cara 2 apart and both scales are glued. I can't see how this is beneficial in anyway. I bought it new at an authorized dealer.
