This lower end Spyderco is, when it comes down to it, a good EDC. Blade is so-so out of box, but a quick run on a stone and it was razor sharp. The lockback on this knife is surprisingly stiff for a knife in this price range. Opening the knife was a little difficult, but after some oil and a little bit of playing it became pretty easy. Overall, a good knife.
I received this today and the fit, finish, grind was perfect. Zero blade play up and down. maybe 3% blade play side to side. Almost non existent. Easy open and close. Without being too hard to open/close 1 handed. I hear that some had experiences with the opening and closing function being too tight. I have not run into that on my purchase. Good edc/self defense knife. And Spyderco have the best serrations in the business. So since mine arrived flawless and in much better condition than my past Byrd purchases. I will give this a 4 star. Due to the ridiculous MAP price increases that are placing Byrd prices too high. To be honest the Byrd knives have increased in price too much over the last 3 years. And this will be the last Byrd I buy. And possibly quit business with Spyderco. As their yearly price hikes are getting out of hand. And too close to Benchmade pricing territory.
very nice knife , don't know what others whining about
Just got the knife today , lock works good only need my thumb . let my wife try too No problem with lock . My wife asks why not make one for left handers or make it adjustable to left handed peoples ?? I gonna use around the house , got some storm damage to clean up . Gonna cut some ropes and wrappings for small trees . Cut small branches do some 1st aid on small trees and fruit trees . Thank you.
Very surprised when i received the product K.C does not slack in the shipping dept. it was here in a couple days. Now to the knife 1. Says that Spyderco makes the knife ,i doubt it. It doesnt say Spyderco anywhere on it. 2. The back lock is really hard to release. Which you know SC. Wouldnt let that happen. 3. Other then those couple items it feels well made the s.s. Is very nice. It comes with an edge you can shave with. Makes a very nice dress knife. I would recommend it but they need to work on the back lock release because it takes both hands to push it down to release it
