I've had my crossbill for a while now, and i love it. I've tried getting ahold of spyderco through their contact us page, but to no avail. I managed to loose one of my only 3 screws for it at lowes hoping to find replacements there, but no luck there...
Hi. I thought I saw a post about converting a Wings/Dyad for lefties. Now I can't find it. I just got a Wings and want to try converting it but don't want to reinvent the wheel if it has already been done. Any info before I start would be appreciated.
I remember there was talk about a Byrd version of the folding utility knife that used utility knife blades. Something that actually worked well and had some quality not just the normal home depot/lowes junk that falls apart.
By far the best built quality for the price has to be the raven and the crow man the quality you get for the buck I hope the changes in the new models don't f it up.cmon sal keepem the same. The meadoelark and cara cara have nothing compared to these...
Well, we have finally competed shifting tooling and making knives with the new maker. I'm pleased to say that all of the models are coming through even better than from the former maker.
This is a new experience for us, but all is well. We should be...
For those here who have both the Byrd and the standard Spyderco Hawbills (Tasman Salt, SpyderHawk, etc), do you notice a definite difference as far as solidity and weight and cutting ability go, between the Byrd Hawks and the others, or not that much of a...
Just got the Byrd wrench cause finding the spydy wrench is going for $400 I got this one and love it.great erganomics. Loads of options and the price was right going to get another cause I think they are discontinued and most likely will clime in...
I would like to explain some of the recent issues with the byrd line.
When we first began the line a number of years ago, we worked with a number of different makers in China. Checking qualities and abilities as we've done with makers in the...
I've been searching all day and can't find any info either way. Is it possible to stick a dragonfly blade in a robin handle? The lock bar would have to stay with the blade, does it have the same mounting point?
Would like to know your opinions between both knives, pros and cons of each and your final judgement in wich one to buy! Will really help in my next knife order...
BTW, please do not consider the price difference, just technical specs of both knives!...
I use a box cutter frequently every day where I work
I open 10-20 boxes a day using a cheap single edge cutter or a Husky box cutter.
I decided to bring the Hawkbill yesterday and see how it would play out. It worked great, especially to reach forward...
It's going to be a long morning waiting for the Fedex delivery to bring the newest addition to my family: a FRN Meadowlark 2 PE. I am so excited about getting it. My only regret is that I'm afraid I should have bought the G10 version haha.
A customer brought in this well-used, well-loved Cara Cara for sharpening today. He uses it as a rough-use chore knife, cutting bailing twine on hay bales etc. The clip kept coming lose, so I put some loctite in and re-installed the clip. The action was a...
I have a Byrd Crow on the way. I added it to an order from STP to get free shipping, so the Crow ended up costing less than $5.
Anyway, it's been a while since I've gotten a new Byrd. The Crow looks pretty nice, but I have no experience with it.
I have a question regarding sharpening of a Byrd Cara Cara 2. I own a lansky diamond sharpening kit, and before I begin sharpening on a knife I haven't sharpened before, I like to know the factory angle. I re-profile many if my knives, but I figure the...
I just received my Byrd Tern. If this knife is any indication, DON'T WASTE your money. I had real hopes for this knife after reading the reviews. I was doomed to disappointment. First, the blade opens just fine and it takes just the right...
Is this knife discontinued?I hope not I just love it and think its the best designer Byrd knife.the quality of the aluminum handle and the grinds on the blade are just to sweet for the price.to me this one could be triple what I paid for it and I wouldn't...
I recently ordered a crossbill, and I was going to sharpen it on my sharpmaker when I noticed something that struck me as odd. every knife I've owned has a V shaped blade, with metal removed on both sides, meeting in the middle to form a cutting edge. the...
How would you compare the Byrd Rescues (Meadowlark and Cara Cara) to the Spyderco Rescues (79mm, 93mm and new Rescue 3). They look to be comparable except for the steel. Are there other differences I'm missing?
Hey guys is the Spyderco Byrd Cara Cara with Combo Edge and Plain Edge discontinued? The one with the FRN handle, I mean. Was it replaced by the G10 handle?
I recently bought a tenacious (and a honeybee for fun). When i received the blade i was incredibly impressed by all the aspects quality, price and sharpness. The reason i chose it is because i need a large blade for cooking. And it is perfect for the...
I just got my Dec-Jan issue of Field & Stream and the Crow is in there. On page 48 there is an article called Young Blades. The Crow is one of 3 knives that they recommend giving to a young new knife owner.
Is the Byrd meadowlark hawkbill and BYRD HAWKBILL FRN the same knife? I see them priced differently or named differently with what appears to be the same specs on different sites. I do not see the meadowlark hawkbill listed on the spyderco catalog so I...
