Re: Byrd Scimitar
Any news on the Byrd Scimitar, sal?
Re: Byrd Scimitar
Hi SEF,
I can tell you that it's very challenging to fit a sword blade shape into a folding knife that works. We haven't been able to do it , yet. I asked Ed Schempp to give it a go and haven't heard back.

Re: Byrd Scimitar
I've been working on the knife, I'm on my 3rd attempt. I have the concept in mind, just not proficient at kickback design. I haven't given up!

Oh yes thank you so much, Mr. Schempp! I am thankful for all your labor and effort.Ed Schempp wrote: ↑Mon Aug 04, 2025 9:49 amI've been working on the knife, I'm on my 3rd attempt. I have the concept in mind, just not proficient at kickback design. I haven't given up!
I am so eager to purchase those. My personal preference is blades that are 3.0 mm and thicker.
Re: Byrd Scimitar
Have you ever considered using CNC or printing to make a knife? Has anyone asked me to do this in the future?

Re: Byrd Scimitar
That would be so cool if Spyderco can use 3d printing or computer numerical control machining to make a flock of Byrd knives.
Are you excited for the Byrd Scimitar? Welcome to the forum.
I have the Byrd Wharncliffe Cara Cara 2. It is one of my favorites.
