This thing is great for it's intended purpose: extreme cutting performance in an emergency or rescue scenario, on a budget. I bought it to keep in my truck or take on a trip where I think it could be useful. I don't plan to use it as an EDC knife. For the price I'm ok with it potentially being lost, damaged, or unrecoverable due to use in an emergency situation. The serrades are well done and very sharp. I also noticed they open mail with authority, for whatever that's worth. This thing definitely cuts through material with comparatively little effort to a plain edge or even a combo edge. The blade is longer too which also helps. It feels well made actually, and it functions as good as any regular spyderco lock back knife. Its definitely not of the refined paramilitary quality but it approaches the Delica or Endura level of quality and function......with a few obvious exceptions. The handle scales have some mold marks just to the inside of both handles where the knife rests closed, they're ugly but don't hinder performance or feel in any way. The blade steel won't hold its edge under a lot of use, but I don't plan to use it very much-it just needs to come through for me in an emergency. It does have recessed metal liners in the handles which is a nice touch. The knife is fairly lightweight for its size too. It feels good in the hand, balance seems good, and overall fit and finish is just fine for this price range. I would reccomend this knife, and it'd be a good gift for someone who could appreciate it or actually use it.

I carry this knife in the medical field, and use it to cut seatbelts, laces, heavy wiring etc. I bought this specific spyderco because it had a rounded blunt tip, with minimal risk of puncturing someone on accident in emergency situations. I would definitely buy this knife again for my specific use. Spyderco has always pushed out great knives. This one is easy to wipe down and clean up with the polymer handle and steel blade. I own a lot of knives from spyderco and other big name brands, which I use for hunting, fishing, EDC, work and etc. But this one I tend to carry more often in one pocket, and a tipped blade in the other. Great buy for the cost!

came wicked sharp. it's got a very sturdy blade, easy to open with one hand with just a flick of the thumb. cuts through 2-in polyline like a light saber. ole Darth Vader woul be proud to put this in his collection. the price is actually low for this type of knife. of you're on the fence about purchasing this awesome knife, jump off and get it you won't regret it I promise.

Firstly. I love Spyderco knives and I have owned, used, lost and gifted a lot of them in my life. I've even visited the factory store and they make and collaborate with wonderful people who offer amazing products. Ok.. So I've had 4 different bright orange Spyderco Rescue knives in my life so far and I've loved them all. I lost one. Not sure exactly how that happened, honestly. But we were climbing a mountain and we weren't going back up to look for it. TSA took 2 from my checked baggage And now I still have one left. Anyway; I saw these Byrd versions and I will definitely say the build quality is spot on considering they are significantly less expensive than my previous Rescues'. The size of the knife, the texture of the grip, the blade edge, clip and material are all great. I have two issues, if they are even truly a thing for anyone else. My original Rescue knives have a bit more ergonomics in the grip. These are pretty much sharp edges with excellent grip that will work great with gloves. But just isn't as friendly to your hands as the more expensive versions. My other one is closing the blade. The more expensive versions are a little smoother in operation. The Byrd just doesn't feel the same closing the blade. I don't feel like I need to look at my Spyderco versions when I close them. It could just be me. At the end of the day I gifted them to people for stocking stuffers and they love them. If you work in rescue. And you need a knife that does the job without accidentally cutting your patient, this is great choice. It's not a cheap knife; but if you need it and you end up leaving it behind at least you didn't lose a more expensive knife. I'm going to use my palm sander and round the edges a bit on the one I kept. out of the pocket opening process is spot on despite the comet shape hole.

There are some situations where serrations are way better than plane edges. The knives I consider least useful are those that are half serrations and half plain edge. If you try to do anything ordinary like cutting cheese or other food you need to clean the food out of all the serrations. These days one of the main things I do with a EDC is opening Amazon boxes and packages. I got the Spiderco Byrd Cara Cara 2 Rescue Knife partly for its potential use in an emergency but mostly for opening boxes and other chores where serrations are best, and having a dedicated serrated blade would save the use and need to sharpen my plain-edged EDC. WOW! First, the Byrd 2 Rescue opens the heaviest boxes like I am just moving my hand through air. Second, the comet-shaped hole in the blade is way better for opening the knife than the standard Syderco circular holes. You get a much better contact and purchase on the blade with the side of your thumb. Third, the edge of the blade is just under 4", which is important for me since my home county and nearly all Oregon jurisdictions allow concealed carry of a folder with a blade under 4". However, the Byrd has about half an inch of the blade near the base with no serrations, the area you usually avoid using so you don't get junk in the locking mechanism. So you get nearly 4 inches of usable blade instead of the 3 1/2 inches of useable blade you usually get on a four inch folder. Knife was every easy to open. It was harder to close than most Syderco knives, but became much easier with use. I was unfamiliar with knives with no point and was surprised by how much easier this made it to open packaging with soft things like garments underneath. Scales on handle are abrasive. But that would be best in a medical emergency where the knife handle could be covered with with blood. You could hold on to this knife no matter what. The knife us very sturdy. I felt completely confident in using it to do the light prying needed when the flaps of boxes have been glued down. I don't know yet how the blade will resist rust. Amazing knife for the price.

I live year round on the beach, I carry this knife when paddle boarding in the Gulf of Mexico and there is no rust at all three months of owning this knife wether fishing for reds or in the tree industry. In fact I cut a 1/2” rope yesterday in one slice w little effort. Excellent lock position the blade will not move, upon closing the blade will not just fall into closed position which is important as that serrated blade is ridiculously sharp so your fingers are not getting cut. I own a lot of knives mainly “tactical” knives, blacked out etc but this is in the edc rotation and the one I carry most often. Buy w confidence it is a great product.

I was looking for a knife to cut lines on a sailboat. I'd like to put one at the helm and one at the mast where they will be handy in an emergency. I couldn't justify the price of the higher quality Spyderco Salt and the reviews for this one were very good. I received the knife today, so I cant comment on durability. The knife appears to be well made. I have large hands and wanted a full size knife; it fits very comfortably in my hand and the blade is fairly long. The blade feels very sharp. Test cuts in nylon rope were pretty impressive.

Heard good things about this knife but my life has terrible lock stick. The release only works with the help of a pair of pliers.

La novena navaja de la marca Byrd que compro. Dentro de lo que son las marcas chinas esta es de las mejores, un escalón por debajo de la Petrified Fish Aunque esté fabricada allí supervisa Spyderco, si comparamos modelos y cajas son muy muy parecidas, obviamente por 60 euros no tendremos jamás una Delica o una Endela, pero sí algo bastante decente...de hecho Spyderco fabrica la Tenacious también en China y con el mismo acero, 8cr13Mov, un acero chino de gama media equivalente a un AUS-8 y un 440B. Aguantan bastante bien el filo y se afilan en casa con cualquier piedra La apertura no es tan fluida como la de la marca madre, y los acabados son algo más ramplones, puede que las hojas tengan algún defectillo en el lavado a la piedra o las cachas tengan alguna rebaba, pero a nivel de funcionalidad son muy parecidas, no hay puntos calientes o filos que molesten al manejarlas y vienen muy bien afiladas, aunque repito, no tenemos la retención de filo de un VG10 que está un escalón más arriba Este modelo aún no lo he probado cortando cuerda o tela, para lo que está pensada, pero ya pasando el dedo por el filo se ve que es muy similar al Spyder Edge, el tipo de que usa Spyderco en sus modelos, tiene pinta que corta y rasga sin problema, ideal para personal de emergencias o alguien que se tenga que ver en la situación de cortar una lona o cuerda. Además este acero es bastante resistente a la humedad, solo hay que limpiarlo bien antes de guardarlo y mejor si se le pasa un trapo con una gota de aceite como el WD40 Por último aconsejaría no llevarla en la guantera del coche en España aunque no tenga un filo amenazador, ya que nuestras leyes prohiben portar armas blancas en las vías públicas a riesgo de una incautación y multa. Diferente sería llevarla dentro de la mochila y de forma discreta, donde es difícil que nos puedan multar

Für den Preis ein tolles Werkzeug. Man merkt den Qualitätsunterschied zu Spyderco deutlich, und genauso deutlich das Geld das man sich spart. Die Griffflächen sind sehr griffig, das Aus- und Einklappen funktioniert mit wenig Übung einhändig. Da ich es eher wenig benutze, hoffe ich dass die (brutale!) Schärfe lange hält, weil schleifen möchte ich das Ding nicht wirklich.

Funziona egregiamente

Affilatissimo, eccellente! Questo Spyderco è economico ma ne vale davvero la pena. Mi serviva un coltello seghettato per tagliare corde ma, soprattutto ragazzi, per tagliare il pane durante le mie uscite in montagna. Garantisco che, se cercate qualcosa di economico ma con alte prestazioni, questo è un coltello da paura

Mala calidad del acero, se ha oxidado al cabo de meses, algo que no es aceptable para este tipo de herramientas.
