Pros: Ease of Opening, Blade Sharpness
Cons: Handle Feel

Dragonfly for 1/3 of the price; but thicker wider handles

The handle edges are sharp not rounded, and the handle spacer doesn't align perfectly with the handle sides. On the other hand it improves on the Dragonfly 2 thusly: wider handle easier to hold; skeletonized steel liners; 4 position vs. 2 position pocket clip; totally disassembles (Dragonfly tail end is epoxied to the spacer) Cedric and Ada YouTuber has gotten impressive edge retention in tests of 8Cr13MoV, comparable to VG10. You can buy a Dragonfly 2 and have bragging rights, or a Byrd Robin 2 and use it in exactly the same use pattern. Not sure? Buy both and use the Byrd as your "beater".

A fine knife

This is a really nice EDC knife - substantial solid blade and build, yet small enough in the pocket not to be a nuisance. Great price, too. Love it.

Pros: Ease of Opening, Blade Material
Cons: None

Excellent Value

This is the 3rd or 4th of the Robin that I have purchased, both serrated and plain blade. Used for typical EDC, opening packages, cutting tape and the like. For the money, its great - easy to sharpen, small enough to be carried comfortably in a pocket with a decent build quality.

Awesome Knife

The Byrd Robin 2 is my favorite Byrd knife. It is an excellent size for pocket carry, and it is still large enough to be useful and strong. The opening action is smooth, and the blade is well centered when closed. The blade lockup is solid with no play. The ergonomics are comfortable thanks to the finger choil and thumb ramp. The pocket clip can be mounted in all four corners. The hardware is all adjustable with torx drivers. The blade is full-flat ground and comes sharp. My only complaint is that the right side of my blade has very noticeable blue spots from the heat treatment. Other than the blue marks on the blade, this is a 5-star knife.

Flop

I love spyderco knives, but I was extremely disappointed with the overall quality of this budget knife. Extreme blade play, very cheap assembly ,even for a knife under $20 (reminded me of a worse than" frost "line cutlery sold on t.v. I was very happy with my prior purchase the tenacious, but this robin is another story.
