Your picture just caused me to purchase a Byrd Hawkbill, thanks!

I've never tried anything from the Byrd line or a hawkbill, and the 8cr is not a problem in a SE blade...the $30 just jumped right out of my account, LOL!

Ha, that's great! :cool:

Byrd knives are great, especially the serrated models...for some reason the byrd serrations are ground more rounded and shallow, which means less snagging and better cutting. I preferred it even to the Tasman Salt:

This Hawkbill has been used and carried a lot and it's just a super solid little knife. Despite what many people think, a hawkbill blade makes a terrific EDC. I'll be looking forward to seeing what you think of it!

I just opened this up, and first impressions are fantastic. Very well done budget blade, solid lock up with no play, blade drops when mid-lock is depressed, and I do like how the serrations are less aggressive than the Golden SE's. I don't know why, but I'm surprised, haha! I will have no problem recommending Byrd as a budget option in the future and I look forward to getting some work out of this 8cr Hawkbill.

I'm going to cross-post this over in the Byrd forum.

Tried to setup a pic with my Dragonfly Salt while out for a walk and my photography assistant had to check that everything was being done to her standards...

Hahah, also looks like someone was enjoying the water based on that wet snout! :)

No surprise here this week!

Funny how many different shades of green it looks like depending on the lighting and white balance.

teleworking and sitting in meeting for hours, so i need fidget toys.

the caribbean is so smooth and is a pleasure to open and close.
the resilience is so solid and wonderful and feels like a much nicer knife than the price would suggest. i can't wait for it to be in s35vn.
the barfly is for fidgeting when i can't pay attention to what i'm doing. :)

I thought there was a resilience in s35vn??? The blue one? :confused:
