byrd cara cara BY17PBK, any good,

[Zed]

Is the byrd cara cara plain blade any good, its a illegal carry here in the uk but i fancy one for in the home, has anyone got one,    

[Gareth]

I've got one of the original stainless ones, rather good IMO.  Big old thing and, as you say, non-legal EDC but nice to have.

It's a good point.  The CRKT Edgie is about the same money (little less even) and Legal EDC.  Not quite as refined I'll admit, but not at all bad and you'll get more use out of it.

Anyway you've still to get yourself some Alox as I recall

Paul, just remember that it's your cash, you can feel free to ignore us (especially Mike  ).  If you fancy the Cara Cara then go for it, like I said it's a nice knife, but I almost never use it as all it does is sit around the house.  I took a snap of the Cara, Edgie and a Wenger Commander (for scale).  The Fit and finish on the Care is definitely a grade better the Edgie, but the Edgie isn't a bad knife at all either.

[Zed]

well its between a EDC bag, or this, the bag would get more use, i think i know what way im going now 

[Zed]

Well after thinking about what one to go for and listening to you guys, even mike    ive decided to go for this bag , im getting bored of my old rucksack and wanted something different , this also can be worn around the waste i might add a extra strap for this for when im on my bike a bit like a messenger bag, it should be good for carrying my stuff and was cheap from HK, so ill have to wait for it

You say that like it's an expensive knife.  Personally, if that's the kinda thing you were after, considering it's a budget knife I'd have said that was a rather good choice.  If we were talking about a £100 knife here than I could have understood that angle.

Seems you changed your mind though Paul.

True

But to my way of thinking, if you can't readily edc it, then what's the point in having it?

i do have to say that i use alll my MT's and SAK's as i can really only afford to buy to use and not buy to leave in there boxes, the main decider for my TBH was paypal, i sold some stuff yesterday and it worked out in the end that i was short for the knife, the bag was my original choice but found the byrd after, so i took it as a sighn and plus listening here and went for the bag ,plus i would use that every day

[Benner]

Fair comment. 

[AHB]

Fair comment. 

Yeah, but who won..?? 

[Benner]

Mike resorted to name calling which is the first sign of a lost argument. 

[AHB]
