Byrd Question

Joe Wright · #1

I've seen two different designations for the black Cara Cara and Meadowlark on several sites. In one cases, the same site offers both designations. Using the partial serrated black Cara Cara as an example, the two designations are:

BY03BKPSCP

By03BKPS.

When I received my first partial-serrated black Cara Cara, it had the designation BY03BKPSCP and was a powder-coated knife.

I'm wondering if this new designation, BY03BKPS, represents a black oxide finish rather than the powder coat? Sal or Kristi - please adise.

Thanks - Joe

I'd be inclined to bet that the CP on the end indicates Clam Pack, as it does with several Spyderco models. Some dealers prefer that packaging to reduce the risk of pilferage when using a self-service display. Assuming that's the case, then the BY03BKPS version is packed in a conventional cardboard box.

Deacon,
You are absolutely correct!

Hi Kristi & Deacon,

Thanks very much for your reply and help.

Kristi, any word on when we might see the Starling (or any other new Byrds)?

Thanks again - Joe

I would assume the same as the other Byrds the 8Cr13something or other.

Sorry, can't ever remember exactly what it is. :o

Do you know where will Starling produced? From the SHOT show report by Doug Ritter, he mentioned that this Starling will produce by Spyderco itself but will put it in Byrd line.

So I am not sure where it will be produced.

To my knowledge, it will be part of the Byrd line, and produced in China with the rest of them.
