Cara cara arrives

#1

Post by jmosinjoe »

Well, the ups truck dropped off my knife yesterday evening and I am impressed with the knife overall. I had a chance to use it at work last night and after working on the edge a little bit, it has turned into a very good performing knife. It's a plain edge and is in the black. It's got an Endura "feel" to it. Very crisp lockup and smooth blade opening. No lateral or up and down play in the lockup. The black finish is semi glossy and the clip is solid. It's a little heavy but rides nice in my pocket. I cut through cardboard and nylon ty-wraps and the edge just held beautifully. This is alot of knife for the money. I have other knives that cost more and are dear to my heart and this knife will compliment my carry rotation well. The blade steel is what impresses me the most as it performs well above its cost. I am a shipbuilder and a knife is a must to have and it must perform. The Cara Cara is very robust in fit and feel for its cost and I would not hesitate to recommend the knife as an effective tool for working or what ever task confronts the user. I read somewhere where another poster stated that Sal hit it out of the park with the Byrd line of knives. I will contend that he hit it out into the parking lot with the Cara Cara. Great knife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I have an older g-10 Blackhawk coming in a trade. It will be my first g-10 handled Spydie. That will be my "Sunday go to prayer meetin" knife and will be babied. I plan to carry the Cara Cara for work. I also have a serrated work knife that is lite and small for when a plain edge will not do. :)

Congratulations. The Cara Cara is a very nice knife. The ergos are dreamy and that byrd steel is formidable. Not to mention that you got a serious chunk of steel in you hand.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
