Description
SPBY03GP2: Cara Cara 2 G-10
byrd Knife Designed by Spyderco

Upgrade alert! byrd knives are the subject of a number of engineering refinements for 2010 with improved ergonomics, four-way clips and full-flat ground blades. Like Spyderco knives, byrd knives are subject to our penchant for C.Q.I. - Constant Quality Improvement. As manufacturing processes and material availability improves, so do the byrds.

The newest evolution of the Cara Cara is the Cara Cara2 with a G-10 handle. It has a full-flat ground high performance 8Cr13MoV blade. Shaped like a “comet” the hole in the blade symbolizes quality and careful manufacturing tolerances. On the blade’s spine is a group of crosshatching called jimping. Jimping enhances the thumb’s grip on top of the blade making cutting slip-resistant. Available for the first time with a four-way clip that carries tip-up/tip down or left/right-handed, it attaches inside a pant’s pocket where it rides deep and confidently. A finger choil enhances the ergonomic G-10 handle adding comfort and control. Mid-positioned back lock has a David Boye cut away dent, a safety feature allowing the handle to be tightly gripped without unintentionally releasing the lock.

Pros: Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Handle Feel, Ease of Opening, None

Cons: Overall Quality, Blade Sharpness

a cheap ffg endura 4 in G10 imitation

nice EDC, viable as a weapon of opportunity if self defense would be a necessity. The material are nice, the mid quality G10 is nice, not slick nor too grippy. The ergonomics are excellent and the lock-up seem solid enough. The jimped choils are a welcomed feature. The only thing found lacking is the fit and finish. The grind of the releaf edge is a little un-even and one of the liner isn't flush with the lock bar at the blade pivot leaving some space in between on mine. So that been said you do get what you pay for, except for the designing cost that went in the spyderco Endura, while still having a sweet knife for the money.
