Per the OP, I own a Byrd rescue blade and quite like it. I have nothing but good things to say about the quality. 8CrMoV3 steel has some limitations versus VG-10, of course. But for what it is, the Byrd is a great knife. The lack of a window piercing tip doesn't bother me much. I believe I could cra...

Since opinions are sought, mine is to NOT make a separate forum for Byrds. The reason for this is that I do have interest in both Spyderco branded and Byrd branded knives. And I don't have time to surf two different sub-fora. So if there were a Byrd sub-forum, I suspect I'd end up missing out on goo...

I bought one almost solely because it was so different from my other knives. Along the way, it has become a favorite (top five anyway) EDC for me. It's in the general range of my favorite size. It also has a tremendously smooth opening and lock up. If you're a liner lock fan at all (I am) and you li...

I own both and carry the Sage 1 a lot more, simply because it's lighter and a bit fancier looking. It's small enough to be a light carry, yet still has a very functional sized blade. The Manix 2 is great, but carries a bit like a rock. Some days I'm in the mood for a heavier knife. Other days, not s...

I agree. The partially occluded hole of the Yo2 makes it less than the para 2 for me, if I absolutely had to use it for SD. I've tried to be fast with the Yo2 and almost cut myself several times when my thumb tried to push on the edge. I also don't like inertial openings for SD. I'd take a less ide...

I own both and agree the Para 2 is somewhat better for EDC. The size and weight difference between the two knives isn't enough to notice. And I do think the Yojimbo2 has fine functionality for EDC. However, it looks pretty aggressive to pull out at the office. Of course, so does the Para2, depending...

I don't have the Balance, but do own the Zulu. Therefore, I can express my admiration for the Zulu, but don't think I can help much with a comparison for you. I just love the Zulu, however. The fit and finish is excellent and the deployment is perhaps the easiest and fastest of the twenty or so Spyd...

The Dragonfly Salt is a popular choice and is almost unnoticeable in the pocket. However, I find the Salt 1 to be almost unnoticeable as well. And I appreciate the larger size handle in my large sized hands. And the price difference between a Salt 1 compared to a Dragonfly Salt is negligible. I own ...

Combo edges do work, they may not sell as well, which is why I don't complain about more of them being made by Spyderco. I never really understand why people can't accept there is a time and place for any type of tool. This. I understand perfectly well that they are not everybody's first choice. Th...

Just another data point here. I started to strip out my Tenacious screws while trying to convert the clip to tip up carry. Rather than bugger them totally, I abandoned the effort and left it tip down. I should try to obtain some replacement screws from Spyderco. I hate to ask, but would really prefe...

If someone who have Endura and Tenacious could write a comparison, will help a lot. I own both, as do many here. The Endura model has a higher quality steel in VG-10, which not only holds an edge better but is also more corrosion and stain resistant. That said, 8Cr13MoV steel isn't junk either, and...
