Does anyone have both the Raven 2 and the Paramilitary 2?
I'd appreciate it if anyone could provide some side by side comparison pics, and share your experience with the two in use.
I own the Raven 2, it's a great knife. Specs on the two knives are very...
Well they say you get bitten by the Spyderbug, so maybe I've been 'pecked' by the Byrd recently? :D I've been thoroughly enjoying my discovery of the Byrd line the last couple of months, so after my Cara Cara review I thought I'd take a look...
Is there a viable replacement option for Teflon washers used in Spyderco knives? Eric talked on YouTube via Blade 2018 that Spyderco has been evolving in regards to washers. That Spyderco has learned a lot in a short time and is using bronze phosphorus...
I have been looking at the Byrd Raven, the new one with the CTS-BD1 Stainless Steel. The design and materials appeal to me as does the price. It looks like an almost perfect inexpensive knife.
What should I expect with this knife as an everyday carry...
Latest pickup is a Byrd Robin 2 with G-10 handles. I've been carrying a Raven 2 for about two months now and can't say enough about it. The Raven was perfect out of the box. My first Byrd was a Cara Cara 2, and it was a little on the stiff side until I...
I etched a wire clip to get it matte finished instead of chrome polished. Any way to darken it to look like the dark grey/black finish on chaparral clips?
Since I'm a person who's always out looking for good value, I've ended up with Byrd knives before. I work an office job and often find myself in a suit (and in my environment, medium to large knives are often, let's say quite difficult to...
Curious why the ball bearing lock isn't on more knives then the Manix? I'm guessing people don't like it since the Manix also has a back lock version. I really like the ball bearing lock on my Manix.
Sal, I hope it is okay for me to ask this, but, can I and other Byrd fans be confident that the Byrd Cara Cara 2 with FRN handle will continue to be produced and will be with us at least for some good time to come?
I would love to hear a rough estimate from Sal on the % increase of cost if the Byrd line was made in the USA. Im talking same quality, same level of attention to detail, and similar or same steel the line currently receives. Dont change anything but the...
hi folks. As you may know, I am a Hawkbill fan. The Tasman and Spyderhawk have been loyal friends and very useful carries to compliment a straight edged folder. I lost one of my 2 Tasman this August, and decided to give a shot to the not much talked about...
Just placed an order for three FRN Meadowlark 2, two Efficients and a black Robin 2 with my local reseller. Looking forward to trying them out once they arrive.
By the way, it seems that the Meadowlark is the only Byrd knife to have FRN handles and a mid...
Would those of you here who are into the Byrd knives, ever want or be interested in a Byrd folder or fixed blade with H1 or Lc200N steel blades? But the more realistic question is: Would the expense of these specialty steel blades be too much for the Byrd...
I am just curious if there is any chance of seeing steel upgrades on any Byrds in the near future? I have seen some knives in Sandvik steels coming out of China recently and am wondering if there is hope of some Byrds with different steels. 9Cr18, Sandvik...
Starting my 30-day trial of the Byrd Hawkbill today. When I get a new folder, I like to commit to EDC it for 30 days before making any judgements. Since I'm a hell-on-wheels kind of guy, that's usually enough to turn up any design flaws or defects in...
Just got my fire Byrd lighter case its so cool no play in the blade at all fits large bik lighters.I really like this style.I have had one with refillable lighters on it but they were junk and the blade crape.this is a well built tool sharp blade and...
I'm looking to buy a deep carry clip for my Raven 2. It looks to be about the same distance for the screw holes as a tenacious, but might be slightly off? I can easily find deep clips for the tenacious, but don't own one to confirm the size. Would anyone...
I'm getting back into knives and specifically Spyderco after a long absence and was looking at the Stretch 2. I'm rotating a Roadie and Dogtag as my office EDC in dress slacks where I try and be low-key. I'm looking for a larger model for my off hours. I...
I always liked the Starling, it was a very close clone of the Ladybug in terms of handle design. I liked the blade shape too and preferred it greatly to the Finch. Perhaps my taste was different than the wider market as we have seen a Finch 2 surface. I...
I don't have reason to believe Andrew Demko's Tri-Ad lock is necessarily stronger than a regular backlock, but I've been carrying a Cold Steel 'large' Voyager Vaquero folding pocketknife almost daily since January 2012 and it hasn't been blocked from...
I just picked up the mail and my new byrd crow 2 arrived today. WOW! What a nice knife. A great EDC carry knife. It is a bit heavier than I expected, but tolerable. I was carrying a spyderco cat and this is larger , but almost as smooth to deploy. I...
seriously looking at this knife based on the strength of an old crow i own with bcr13mov. the crow is currently the oldest knife i have continuously owned, 10 years maybe, and still going strong. has what appears to be aluminum scales and is partially...
I'd like to buy the first generation Cara Cara with a combo blade in an excellent condition (practically unused). Any advice where I might try to find one is welcome.
Hi Fellas…..Ive been a Byrd carrier for years and have enjoyed reading these Spyderco forums a lot.
Five weeks ago I swapped out my CaraCara for a Raven 2 as my EDC blade and have been loving the form and function of this knife. This Byrd a real pleasure...
It seems to me that a Byrd fixed blade is long overdue from the line up. I would guess that a somewhat traditionally styled knife at a $30-$40 street price would be a hit. A drop point and clip point based off the same handle and around 8.5 overall would...
