Spyderco Byrd?
on: March 09, 2016, 05:41:23 PM
I have been looking to replace my worn-out old Utica-made Klein Hawkbil.   I'm thinking about just getting another Klein, but I recently came across this one for $20 from Spyderco's Chinese-made Byrd line, which differs from my old Klein in the fact that it has one-hand opening, a pocket-clip, and a feature especially invaluable for using the knife to clear brush--a fully serrated blade.

While I don't own one, I hear Spydercos are excellent knives.  How does the Byrd line compare to the regular Spydercos?

Overall, they seem to be knives as you can see in the other thread  :cheers:

There was another thread about this as well. I expressed my dislike for the Byrd line.

Horses for courses. They (?) are nice knives indeed. At least if I can deduct this from my only Byrd, a Tern. G10 handle/liners with reasonable grip, pocket clip can be changed for LH and RH users, good blade shape, good size. What's not to like for the price tag? Admitted. I am more of a SAK guy (just for the versatility), but I carry my Tern everyday, as non-locking OHO has its advantages and utility...
