byrd knife
by Spyderco

"Dependability shouldn't depend on your budget."

STARLING

The byrd line’s smallest lightweight folder is the Starling. The byrd Starling is engineered to yield maximum cutting performance with a blade under two-inches. A ball chain threaded through the lanyard hole (included) lets you use the Starling as a keychain or attach it to a purse, pocket or zipper pull. Designing a small knife that feels secure in an adult-sized hand can be challenging. The Starling combines several features designed to elevate ergonomics and create purchase in the hand. The inclusion of jimping (texturing) along the spine and the thumb hole in the blade for one hand opening let you wrap your hand around the folder gaining remarkable control and precision over the cutting edge. Made from FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) the handle as a back lock is positioned midway on the spine to facilitate one hand closing. Its blade is high carbon 8Cr13MoV stainless steel coated in black Carbonitride that’s hollow-ground and available in plain edge.

The byrd knives are very reminiscent of what Spyderco Knives were when the business first started.  They have good ergonomics and are well constructed as well as being very reasonably priced.  If you have been wanting Spyderco dependability without the Spyderco price, then a byrd knife is just what you have been waiting for!

Don't let the low price fool you.
In a day where we rarely get what we pay for,
the blade quality of the byrd surpasses the cost.

byrd knives are a new species of knives and pocket tools designed, produced and imported by Spyderco.  byrds stand as an independent product line from Spyderco's well-known CLIPIT line.  The present the astute buyer numerous hard-working knife and tool options at an economical cost.
 

byrd knives feature 8Cr13Mov Stainless Steel blades.  8Cr13Mov blade steel is similar to AUS-8 in its properties and performance.  It contains both molybdenum (enhances strength, and hardness) and vanadium (enhances wear resistance and toughness) and has .8% carbon content.  The result is a blade steel that retains a sharp cutting edge for extended time and use.
