I was looking at the g10 Byrd lineup as a daily user at work. I noticed that there wasn’t a wharncliffe option In g10. Does anyone know if the blade would switch over from the wharncliffe frn to a g10 handled knife?

I haven't seen it done but that doesn't mean anything. I saw where someone put a hawkbill blade from an FRN Meadowlark into a titanium handle. My very limited understanding is that if you swap the blade you should also swap the lock bar with it; keep the set intact due to tolerances. I get where you're coming from though, the FRN Meadowlark doesn't have the chamfering that the Harrier2 FRN does, I'd probably swap also. But you might just swap the scales first. Easier.
