Spyderco Forums

Cara Cara2 seems to be there most often since I got it a month or so ago.. Looking forward to the TI version!! John :)

I’m curious if there would ever be the chance of a Byrd variant of the shaman? Same ergos but I wouldn’t expect the compression lock. Give it a lock back so the price point stays low. Maybe there’s something similar that I’m not thinking of. I handled...

My Byrd Tern that I got from the Seconds sale is so stiff in closing...as in, it requires the use of two hands to safely close the blade. Is it normal or is it because it's a Seconds? And any ideas on how to smoothen out and break it in so it can be...

I just realized that the comet hole on the Byrds makes me hesitant to carry them over a Spyderco. It looks cool, it's functional, and it's not entirely uncomfortable. It just somehow doesn't quite feel right when opening the knife. So I'm just wondering...

Other brands seem to offer D2 in China made knives. The brands and the market seem to think it's a step up from other steels.

I don't think I've ever seen it offered from Byrd. There is probably a reason for this. I hope someone can offer some insight.

Excuse the dramatic subject title!

However, the 2024 discontinued list has indeed announced that quite a large number of Byrds are on their way out.

I’m really curious about the future of the Byrd brand and what direction will be taken with the...

Since we don't get much traffic in the Byrd forum, I'm cross posting this. I love this Hawkbill. I use it in the garden center I work at.

While I can't get it paper slicing sharp, it has to problems cutting off shoots, small 1/4 limbs, opening boxes,...

I have owned many Spyderco knives, but only 2 Byrd knives including this Byrd Tern I picked up today. What intrigued me about this design was the common features it shares with many Spyderco knives I love:
FFG
Opening Hole
Finger Choil
Jimping
Wire...

I'm looking for scale options for my Hawkbill Meadowlark. The titanium scales are great, but too thin for heavier work. Are the Stainless Steel scales much thicker (at least similar to FRN)? I can't find thickness measurements anywhere.

Hello, friends!
Initially, before going Byrd I thought of it as a transition towards getting a Spyderco knife. In order to better understand myself, am I a knife person or not.
The shopkeeper, young muscular guy with gorilla-type large hands kindly...

Anyone doing any Bird Kustomization?

Can someone identify this byrd knife please. First one, I got it in a seconds box and don't collect or use them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Why no new threads? Does everyone dislike the Byrd products. :worried :worried

Just ordered a Robin 2 from Amazon. Any opinions, it's prime so I can send it back. :bug-red-white

I just found out about the Flatbyrd but much to my dismay they're nowhere to be found. It's a cool design that takes the thinness of the Spydercard and delivers it in a more traditional knife. Will we ever see a Flatbyrd 2 or maybe a run of the original...

Hi, I was wondering if the Bird Flight SS will continue to be produced? I see it's still there but with the previous series design. I really like this model with this blade and notches in the handle.

I seem to have lost my favorite Byrd, my trusty Hawkbill, Monday. When I work in the Garden Center I wear a lined flannel shirt that is great at blocking wind. It has a loop of material inside that two spare buttons are sewn to. Occasionally that loop...

With all the wharncliffe variants we have in the Spyderco lineup, wouldn't it be feasible to have some in the Byrd line as well? I really like wharncliffes as work knives but sometimes you don't want to do dirty work with an expensive knife. I know we...

I've had a Byrd Hawkbill for a few months it's my do anything knife. I've been so impressed by Byrd quality that I needed to have another. I really wanted to give 8cr13mov a try in PE. My brother does with well with his Tenacious, I just touch it up for...

Are there currently any plans on improving the frn handles on the robin and meadowlark 2 to the level of the harrier 2? The chamfering and bidirectional texturing would make them an even greater option for a budget Spyderco product.

I get this is the budget line and no where near as popular and trendy as the mid and upper end Spydies.. I guess what I am saying is how about some new blade designs? Even if the steel stays the same?
I was thinking of a larger fully serrated 4 inch...

Yes, it's that time-tested, controversial topic again :winking-tongue

So... I keep ruining my blades' tips (more specifically the edges) trying to pry open food cans, such as this one :

Typically the metal cap is screwed too tightly to the...

My only Byrd, Robin 2

robin.jpg

I didn't know Ariat had a knife line. I tend to through a knife or two in when I buy jeans from westernwear retailers, and this is no exception.

I noticed a knife line introduced by Ariat in 2020 or 2021 looks very Byrd-like. They even have the...

Just got this and want to get a new clip,don't care for the stock one is there a quality one I can buy that will fit this model?Thanks.

:bug-red-white :respect I'm wondering what byrd knife handle is interchangeable with a delica 4 ... I want to add a Signet ring to a byrd knife but all I can find is one for the delica 4 ..... I would just get a delica four but I live in Canada and the...

On the Robin 2 are grey grips anything special or rare.

Just wanted to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year :smlling-eyes :smlling-eyes

Thought I'd share a little with what I do with my Byrds after I get them new.

I realize Byrds may be for the budget conscious folks, but it doesn't mean that they need to look/feel budget.
When I get a new Byrd Meadowlark, FRN/G10, there are several...

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?

Who wears a lanyard on their Byrd or Spyderco knives? :bug-red-white

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.

I have a byrd meadowlark 2 combo, stainless steel handle, I've been using it for years every day at work, it has taken a little slack in the blade, is there a way to tighten it?

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...

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...
