If its anything like the finch 2 I picked up the other day it'll be a winner

Thanks Sal, I'll keep my eyes peeled at the usual vendors!

Sal- Pinned pivot or screwed? Looks like pinned in the stock photos.

It's pinned with a blind lock pivot pin.

Thanks, see they are starting to show at dealers

Hi Kayden.

Welcome to our forum.

Perhaps my taste was different than the wider market as we have seen a Finch 2 surface. I would love to see the model return, it was a perfect budget keychain knife and in my opinion deserves a return to the lineup. Maybe G-10, maybe FRN- either way I'd buy it.

Got mine today, a little less than a year from my initial post asking about this! Very nice, finish is excellent, wicked sharp edge. Feel in hand is familiar and it has zero play in all directions. Opening is not the smoothest (backspring is very strong), but I expect it will wear in a bit with use. Will try to get some pics in tomorrow if I have time. Thanks for giving this little Byrd a 2nd chance Sal.

Anyone else pick one up yet? Is a nice little knife.

Hi Rock,

Welcome to our forum.

Adding variations of models is pretty much dependent on sales and demand. We have to make fairly large quantities of each variation. At this time, the sales do not warrant additional inventory.

Thank you Sal.
I emailed you.

Starling 2 looks great, love the grind and decision to switch out for g-10, but my wife and I (birding enthusiasts and keepers of our own beloved pet European starling) are pining for the feather patterned polymer handles. Always thought Sturnus Vulgaris made for a great aesthetic template, from the iridescent polychromy of the mantle feathers, the delta-wing triangular profile in flight, and of course the eponymous speckled belly. Still, s2 is a great knife and at home with my dear wife's edc (everyday dog care) package

Hi TomPie,

Hi Sal,
Is the mentioned email correct?
I emailed you twice, but never got a response...
I will try again.

Hi Alex,

Yes, that's my email address. I'm between assistants right now so correspondence is slow, but I don't remember receiving anything from you. Subject?
