Howdy all.....I've quickly amassed quite a collection of Byrds...the performance to price ratio can't be beat! I really like the edge retention of the 8Cr13MoV steel and it's ez "stroppability" to regain a Nasty edge!... :p
I guess my fave ones to date include: FRN Cara Cara/Meadowlark, Robin, Finch, and Starling.....thanks for looking! :cool:
Here's the Crossbill compared to some Tasman Salts.....the Crossbill is an ideal knife for anyone with a hankering for a hawkbill! :D

Thanks for sharing those pics Brian, and congrats on the psychedelic handled butch knife. He's got some great micarta.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

thanks for peeking in guys.....
yeah ghost that micarta is truly Psychedelic!
hey Deacon/Paul how 'bout a Stretch or Jess Horn fitted with some of Butch's patented tutti fruity micarta scales to match your tie dye tees???
:D

I just got my first Byrd, a G10 Cara Cara. The fit and finish are very nice and it feels great in the hand. I will buy more Byrds.
