My trusted Grey FRN Urban K390. Handy size with 50/50 fingerchoil. Non locking. Sheaple friendly. Suits me fine all day.

Hi araneae, Yes you are right it is one of the titanium models. I checked with a magnet and even the Pocketclip is Ti. This is a very early example from the very first attempts of Spyderco to have production of more affordable (Instead of Cheap!) knives produced in China. This was before the Byrd li...

Thanks for taking the intiative Michael. A great post and so many opinions. A joy to read and think of. Top!!!!

Yes, frequently there is. I truely like my Ti Robin 2. Fantastic build quality and Titanium !!!!!! Who else is crazy enough to build something like this for such an amazing price.... Only Spyderco and all others are left in the dust...... ha,ha,ha....

Many, many years ago, when Spyderco was introducing their More affordable Byrd line made in China. 9Cr18Mo was indeed a chinese steel Sal was testing. For this testing just a few Catbyrd mules were made with this steel. These were the early ones with the linerlock and the 50/50 forward finger choil....

Hi Samo, it is such a long time ago that we met at the Spyderco Forum. I turned old over the years. still, Spyderco is one of my favorite subjects and the knives are still the best Iknow. How are you doing and are you healthy and OK? Hope to hear from you when ever you free like it. Jurphaas van rie...

Hi Lunamix, yes, the 3 titanium Byrds are just fantastic in built and in performance. It is typical for Spyderco to come up with something so well built, with such a top notch quality and so out of the ordinary! These 3 Byrds are hierloom pieces.... No doubt in my mind about that. Basta! Needless to...

When studying the Spyderco steel chart, it shows me that BD1 consists of 6 elements and the BD1N has 8 different elements. It is also clear to see that all other elements in BD1N are all higher in volume. After checking the character of the additional elements it shows me that BD1N is clearly more c...

Hi Wartstein, Good question. Spyderco has a great "Edge-U-Cation" section in the Catalog and on the Website. To find it you go to: 1. Egde-U-Cation, 2. Steel terms (catalog page 194) 3. Steel elements (catalog page 195) These two pages are simple and well written. They will tell you all about the di...

Hi Guys, This is a nice topic as I have had the pleasure to receive a "Sal Mosquito" form Sal in Amsterdam when we staged the first Spyderco Meet in Amsterdam 2003/4. At that time I was still in the Military and stationed at the Naval Station in Amsterdam just next to the Naval Museum. Some years be...

Hi Silverback, good to have you back 'm still here but since I became a part of Spyderco, I don't join the discussions much anymore.
