Mar 20, 2025 · Byrd Tern: First Impressions by SG89 » Thu Mar 21, 2019 12:43 am I have owned many Spyderco knives, but only 2 Byrd knives including this Byrd Tern I picked up today.

Nov 27, 2017 · This is my thinking. I will add that Byrd knives are better made than most Chinese made knives. Except for steel, a person who buys one is still getting good quality. The steel is okay, it is not terrible. However, now some Byrd knives have BD1 steel like the LW Manix 2. I think the Byrd line is an incredible value.

Apr 4, 2007 · The Byrd line of knives are well made, very well finished, and made from very good materials, all at a more than reasonable price. The main Spyderco line features better blade steels, wider model selection and (in my opinion) more refined designs then the Byrd.

Jul 9, 2023 · I have Byrd knives and Spyderco knives. I have a $300 Microtech switchblade and a $15 Mora Companion. As a knife's price increases, you will usually get better fit and finish, fancier and prettier materials, and sometimes more creative and experimental designs that are fun to try. Also, sometimes the higher quality blade steel is useful.

Apr 28, 2016 · I've owned a China-made Spyderco (a Tenacious) & several Byrd knives (a Hawkbill, a plain edge Cara Cara 2 with Emerson wave opener, a combo edge Harrier 2, a serrated Meadowlark 2 Wharncliffe, and a combo edge Meadowlark 2) over the years, and at least from my limited experience, quality and fit-and-finish are pretty comparable, which is to ...

Dec 23, 2017 · 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 carry in a European city environment).

Feb 20, 2020 · The Byrd line seems to be missing a good utility Wharncliffe blade. Since the CaraCara 2 is 4", it might not make sense to go larger, unless the market is there for it. A 3-3.5" blade, hump-less, Wharncliffe, in a budget line, would be perfect for no-nonsense tradesmen and do-it-yourselfers.

Jun 3, 2005 · I have a few Byrd knives and they seem very good value. If the Meadowlark FFG came out in a SLIPIT version then I'd have a couple to give to friends or use as beaters :) My spydies: Squeak, Tenacious, Terzuola, D'Allara, UKPK CF peel-ply pre-production, UKPK CF smooth pre-production, UKPK G10 orange leaf-blade, UKPK FRN grey drop-point, UKPK ...
