byrd fixed blade

[daundu]

Hey all.

What about the idea of a byrd fixed blade? I for one don't have the funds for the regular Spyderco fixed blades; the byrd high quality and value we all know and love, paired with the increased durability would make me a happy camper, that's for sure.

Just throwing thoughts out there, but a smaller comet hole would make a stellar lanyard attatchment too.

Kind of like the $20 mule?

Yah. I'm really curious about the byrd take on it though. So, both aspects are appealing.

I would love to see a Byrd Version of the Ronnin

Lol,ya or something like the tracker blade,with the byrd logo cut in the middle and a saw back too boot ,call it the eagle claw or something :D ,you know something like a survival knife that wouldnt cost the world if broken or lost.

I just gotta say that the $20 mule is so **** sharp. I keep it in my basement for a "beater" knife-- open up dog food bags, etc. I use it then a few strokes on the sharpmaker and back to normal.

Maybe a byrdish knife in the Perrin design would be nice, and yes, the Rooonin, whatya think Mike?

I believe the topic has been discussed. I wouldn't be surprised if they did one :)

I think the only thing that would be difficult (within reason) is putting together a good sheath that wouldn't kill the price.

Time will tell and I'm not against it tho.

Hey,

I would love to see a Byrd fixed blade. Some true utility one, maybe 4" with a nice belly and G10 handle. Zitel sheath should be cheap.

I would love to see a Byrd fixed blade or two. A small neck knife and a nice utility fixed blade would be very cool.

I have thought that it would be nice if they produced a Byrd skeleton/mule-like blade for DIY projects. The 9Cr18Mo mule was great for only $20!

I would like to see a Byrd fixed blade: maybe like the street bowie or the smaller Hossam.

[Switchback]

Sounds great to me!

I would surely buy one unless I just hated the design which is very unlikely.

I have kind of been wondering if the 8Cr kitchen knives are going to be Byrds. If anyone counts that as fixed blades. It could at least open the door...

[CanisMajor]

I'd be in for a Fixed Byrd.

As said before, I would certainly be interested, but would definitely have to see what the options were looking like. If we were really looking at a 30 or 40% cost of a comparable :spyder: I would be all over it - the functionality for me would make up for the lack of premium steel. Agreed about sheath issues - might be better to look into user-made sheaths. G10 or similar inserts would be cool.

What, Switchback hating a byrd design? Psh. As if.

What about a nylon sheath with maybe an FRN entry point? Cheap, and fairly durable.

EDIT: Oh! And as for blade shapes, how about something borderline krambit for one design? Picture a full sized fixed blade, maybe five to seven inches, with a nice sweep to it.... A nice standard drop point, a fun bowie, and why not have a byrd kukri? Now THAT would look awesome.

:) You got me dead to rights on that one! :)

Hey,

Would like to see a larger type (maybe 5"-6") wharncliff blade with hollow grund, in 9cr steel. maybe at 35-35 usd street price...

Would buy some for sure.
