Byrd by Spyderco Crow Pocket Knife - Liner Lock

High quality craftmanship. The blade metal is new, but I found it favorably reviewed in a Benchmade review, and compared to 440b or 440c alloy. I perfer the plain edge for cutting construction materials, plastic sheeting, insulation, ect.

love the solid black matte finish. "the crow" is very sharp and durable, yet small enough and easy to carry everywhere, everyday.

i open cardboard boxes sometimes 50 plus per day

I have several spyderco knives and this seems of equal quality. it has a pleasing feel, something you just like in a knife.

This knife is designed by Spyderco but manufactured by a Chinese company. Not the quality expected by Spyderco.... very cheap knife. If you just want a cool looking pocket knife for occasional use it will fit the bill.

I needed a small, low-priced knife for canoeing and kayaking. Too easy to lose an expensive knife out there. I recently had a situation, where I hit a log sidelong with my kayak, and dumped. My paddle leash got wrapped around the log (thankfully, not my body), in rushing water. I could have used a quick, one-handed opening, combo edged knife to cut the leash. Instead, I had to break the paddle down to two pieces, in order to free my kayak. I ended up losing half of my eighty dollar paddle to the river!

MAN YOU CAN'T BEAT IT FOR THE MONEY
