Hi All,
first time visit and mainly for a silly question I guess ..... I bought a Byrd By23 from ebay which was orange, I did not think much of that until I went to the Byrd website and could only find that model in black called a Tern so I am thinking...
Since a Byrd Rescue has blunt tip and not a pointed tip, thus it cannot be used for stabbing, would this automatically make it safe in the legal sense, in places that have the wrist flick test for gravity knife laws or would it still be considered a knife...
I've got a little extra cash right now and am considering trying out a Cara Cara. I just can't decide which one. I'm debating between the plain edge g10 model and the blacked out stainless combo edge model.
The blacked out stainless model looks legit and...
Arrived today. Really liking it. Like the byrd hole, nice G10 handle. My only complaint is a discoloration all along the edge of both sides of the blade. Caused by the heat while sharpening?
Any type of warranty for the Byrd line of knives?
i bought my father a byrd robin 2 in g10. so far i have sanded down the internals so it is nice and smooth for his first nice pocket knife. my question is that i have sanded my lil native scales smooth and i feel it is a little more gentleman like. i am...
Definitely a great deal for the money. $31.68 on the zon.
Opens very smoothly (thanks to the full stainless liners) and locks up solid. This knife had no noticeable blade play in any direction. The G10 handle felt nice in hand. Really like the choil,...
Browsing the Gunsite Store, I ran across a Gunsite Spyderco Raven . It's the Byrd Raven with Gunsite logo. Appropriate considering the symbol for Colonel Jeff Cooper's famous Gunsite training center is a raven.
Hi everyone I'm new here. I ordered a Byrd cara cara 2 a couple months ago and have been loving it ever since. Being a chef and familiar with knives I'm really impressed by the quality of it. I would really like a stretch 2 but the price is just too steep...
Just got a new Cara Cara 2 FRN, and it is very stiff opening. I have flushed out the pivot with 70/30 isopropyl alcohol, then blew it out with compressed air, and oiled it. I have lossened the pivot screw to the point it has a lot end play in the blade. I...
sal, what do you think of the idea of making a Byrd that has a marlin spike and shackle key/shackle opener, and a 3.5 to 4 inch long blade, with serrations as an alternative ? Is that a good idea?
i loved the crow 2 in bd1. 100s times better than 8cr13mov. i bought one of the byrd robin 2s and was extremely dissapointed when i saw that the steel was really cheap 8cr, even tho the bigger ones like crow 2 have bd1 which is better. when are they...
Who here likes and loves the Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara with the FRN handle and the stainless steel blades? It is beautiful, inexpensive, and well-super-engineered.
A few days ago I flew to New York City to join our son for his car trip to San Francisco to take up his new position at the VA. Obviously I had to leave my Spyderco at home. So, preparing for a drive across country and having no folding knife it was...
Regarding the liner locks used on the Byrd knife line: Can I rest assured that this lock will hold the blade open as long as I am not abusing it or putting too much unnecessary stress on it, and it will not snap closed and cut me?
sal, if I may ask, how likely is it for us to see a Byrd Cara Cara or other Byrd line made with Lc200N stainless steel blades, while keeping the FRN and overall shape and style of them the same?
Could it be done economically or would it not be worth it?
Now that I have the three main models of Byrd with stainless steel handles, Cara Cara, Meadowlark, and Robin, I have to profess my utter love for the Byrd Stainless series.
They are ideal for IWB with no additional protrusions or textures. They are slim...
I just saw Speed with Guy Martin - Season 2 Episode 2 - S02E02 on Youtube and at 19:39 this knife shows its face. I thought it looked kinda like a byrd-hole but I can't place the model.
My boyfriend is addicted to Spyderco and that's okay..for the longest time he carefully tried to recruit me..😊 I'm a hard sale. Anyway I don't have a problem with knives whatsoever. We just look for different things. For him it's this and that about the...
So thrilled to see the FRN Byrds getting some color variety in the mid year product guide, thank you Sal ! These are great blades and thoroughly deserving of the attention!
I'm thinking a grey Meadowlark and a brown Cara Cara :)
I love the meadowlark hawkbill.
It would be cool to have one in one of the newer colored scales, like the brown or blue.
If I were to get a brown Meadowlark2, would the scales swap to the hawkbill directly without making any mods to the scales?
If you...
Are there any of you on the forum or situations you know of in which Spyderco Byrd knives such as the Cara Cara and Cara Cara 2 and Byrd Rescue and other Byrd knives were exposed to concentrated and powerful corrosive and rusting enviroments such as salt...
My only Byrd is a Cara Cara stainless that I have had for a couple of years. The main reason I don't edc this knife is because of blade stiffness. There are no screws to adjust and I have tried oiling and working it back and forth. Anything else I can...
Does anyone know of a store that still has one of these in stock? I was looking through some old knife collection photos and felt nostalgic towards this model. Wouldn't mind picking one up, CE or PE.
So I just recently got a Raven 2 after some deliberation as a budget PM2. Essentially that cost difference coupled with the fact that I like the Bird eye cutout more than the Spydie hole became the operative factor but I've had a few small issues.
I’ve been shopping for a pair of knives to give my twin girls on their 7th birthday next month. After looking at Spydercos, Opinels, SAKs, and other stuff, I think I’ve settled on a pair of Meadowlark 2s. Opinel got axed when I realized how round they are...
In the spirit of that challenge, I'd like to propose a new one. 30 day Byrd challenge!
The idea of this challenge is to both compare the overall quality of the $15-40 Byrd knife to the $100-200 Spydercos we often EDC, and see how well the 8Cr13MoV stacks...
A short time ago i bought a Raven 2.
I have bin in the spyderco using game for almost 10 years now.
And this is my first byrd.
I have a big love for the Manix design and if you handled an original Manix you know that the knife is build like an german...
I love my Crow 2....but it has some issues. I am the 2nd owner, so I'm not sure what can be done.
This knife feels fantastic in the hand. I like the weight, the G10 is grippy, the opening action is smooth and the blade was well centered when it came to...
So the FRN version of the Cara Cara 2 recently coaxed me into trying out the Byrd line. I've been hankering for a larger lockback folder in FRN with a forward finger choil for a while now and with the Endura distinctly 'choil-less' and the FRN...
Does anyone have both the Raven 2 and the Paramilitary 2?
I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide some side by side comparison pics, and share your experience with the two in use.
I own the Raven 2, it's a great knife. Specs on the two knives are very...
Well they say you get bitten by the Spyderbug, so maybe I've been 'pecked' by the Byrd recently? :D I've been thoroughly enjoying my discovery of the Byrd line the last couple of months, so after my Cara Cara review I thought I'd take a look...
