Spyderco Forums

My wife brought the mail in today which included an Amazon order of my new Cara Cara2 for $20 and a BUDK catalog with a $15 dollar folder on the cover. My wife now knows the price of knives. I'm glad my new Para2 didn't arrive today!!!

So i recently bought a Byrd Flight with a S.S. handle. I tacked it on to an order so as to get free shipping. Upon unboxing i loved the blade shape, weight and overall look of the knife.

BUT!! my god is stainless slippery no grip at all, and no...

I started with a Spyderco Persistance and found this forum (spider side) So impressed with my Persistance that I wanted more! Came to understand that I have value folder and there are a lot of Spydercos I would love to have but just can't afford to...

I own two currently. Both are plain edge. Anyone think a slightly tweaked second version would be awesome like me?

Hi all, new here. I really enjoy my Byrd knives (Cara Cara, Robin II, etc..) and just became the proud owner of a Flight in G-10 scales. REALLY love it, but not real excited about the limited clip position options. My question is what other Byrd/Spyderco...

So you gain some knife freedom but are locked at under 4 ? :)

I got this yesterday , mainly because I wanted something similar to the Delica Titanium Damascus I've got ordered , and I wanted to practice using a Lockback knife after years of Liner and Frame locks exclusively .
I wasn't expecting much , and just...

Can anyone post a comparison picture of a Robin with a Dragonfly?

I saw that the sprint run of the squeak will have Elmax steel. I have no experience with Elmax or M390. From my EDC experience I personally rank : 1. ZDP189 2. S30V and tied for 3. VG10 and N690Co. Based on these rankings ,where would you place Elmax and...

OK.....I love Byrd knives and read and watch as many reviews as I can....The one point that seems to be universal is the dislike of the Byrd hole compared to the Spydie hole....I just do not get it. Works as good imho as the Spydie one. In fact with...

This knife is a real beauty imho...

* can't seem to get the YT video to post?

I have ordered two new byrd knives from the same seller. The first one came in a little beat up box, but did not thnink that much about it. The second one arrived in also a scratched and a little beat up box. The knife came loose, and not inside the...

I picked up a new Wings this week and am quite pleased.

The fit and finish are really good for an inexpensive knife. Its a really big knife to accommodate both blades, but they provide a pouch.

The little Ladybug took up residence in my pocket a...

Both of my flatbyrds smell like old crayons :confused:

Does anyone know what, if any, parts from the Endura/Delica parts kits interchange with their 2nd generation Byrd equivalents? I think I actually prefer my byrds to the my old Delica, but my CC2 is missing a bushing and one of the T6 screws is now more...

Hi everyone. Just received my Flatbyrd which I purchased for a very low price on eBay. It is extremely stiff opening so I loosened off the pivot screw but no change. I then took it apart and discovered something weird. There are two plastic bushings (one...

Since people on the forums seem to love the wharncliffe blade (myself included), and since Byrd knives have a cheaper manafacturing process. How about a Byrd Finch Wharnie? Or maybe a new knife model entirely...Byrd Chickadee? 2.75 inches closed, no...

Are they manufactured in mainland China, or in Taiwan, or where?

Also, how could I get one of the original Cara Cara FRNs?

The Byrd knives are very good for the economical price range and has Spyderco quality all over it. Honest question to those who know: In an emergency, say where you had to cut yourself out of a seatbelt in a submerged vehicle, or where you had to escape a...

Last weekend I stopped by my local Spydie dealer and bought a Cara Cara 2 FRN Combo Edge. Never had a Byrd and the price was under $25 with tax. Fit is spot on. centered blade, zero blade play and perfect grind. Finish is what I call work serviceable....

I purchased this knife June 9, 2013. Within two weeks I gave it to my 9 year old boy. He lost it within a week. It was found last week out near a barn on our property by my 5 year old girl...So almost 10 months out in an area that gets some truck/tractor...

Are there any new byrd knives comming out?

I see that spydercos value priced Byrd line has some decent rescue inspired folders. Does anybody have experience with these? Should I consider one or would you recommend I stick to the actual rescue line? I am basically looking for a medium duty knife to...

I posted this on the Byrd general discussion and got no responses, so I thought I would post it here since there is more traffic on the Spyderco side.

When I close my New Cara Cara, I noticed that the belly of the blade at the end, rests on the handle...

I can't find these anywhere on the market lately. I was looking to get one as a gift for a friend. AFAIK, it's not discontinued. I know there were issues with the byrd manufacturer over in China and Spyderco was going to change manufacturers. Is it...

New member here. The only Byrd knife I own is a meadowlark hawkbill. I love it. The performance to price level is amazing. When I bought it, I didn't want to shell out the money for a Tasman when I didn't know how I'd even like a hawkbill.

Anyways, I...

We've been refining and imnproving byrds since the first model. (Harrier) and we've come a long way. I'd like to introduce a new Harrier in the future.

In addition, we're thinking about adding another byrd model. We have a number of ideas, but no...

If anyone is looking for one of those hard to find crossbill g10's there is one on ebay but there is just about 15 minutes left on the auction

Love those things.

I love the Byrd Crow knives. I have at least 4 of them now. Mostly the new model. I love the small format, not too small, not too large. I love the price point ($20 on sale). What I don't like is how easy the clip falls out and how it comes apart if the...

When I close my New Cara Cara, I noticed that the belly of the blade at the end, rests on the handle inside. I think it's the piece that holds the spring.

Anyway, I was just wondering if that is normal. I know some knives have extra pins, or a raised...

hi folks, i recently bought a Cara Cara 2 in frn and i like it a lot! i now would like to buy a smaller Byrd to keep in my back jean pocket. my question is, is the Robin 2 g10 thicker than the frn version of it, and since i sit in a chair at work, will my...

I've been on a knife buying binge lately and the price on this one was so attractive, I just had to get one.

I'm glad I did. Very handy size and boy, that 8cr13MoV steel is no joke. I love the edge it takes, and it takes it so well.

I am trying to spruce up my hawkbills edge before turkey season. It stands to reason if I bought a 20 dollar byrd knife I am not going to go spend 60 on a sharpener. I have a lansky system with 3 stones that works ok for my plain edge knives. Are there...

These knives are horrible. We bought them as a gift for my dad, and when we got them out to use them at his house, the santoku knife could not even cut a potato. The knife was so thick it actually broke the potatoes, leaving a lot of jagged pieces. I...

I'm just curious if anyone has the Finch 2 yet? If you do I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Dude not sure or you choose right forum for this...
