Byrd by Spyderco Starling Pocket Knife - Lockback

This knife is for light duty use only, but if that is what you are looking for it does the job, and it is very compact.

used for opening boxes.

I have a few Byrd knives and like them all. Pretty good quality and great prices. This knife however is terrible. Lots of blade play and no way to tighten it up. Other users say the same thing.

Photo of item was too dark to see that there was no pocket clip.

This tiny powerhouse is amazing! I've ordered 5 from Sierra Trading Post,and I'm using them as zipper-pulls on my backpack,two large duffle bags,my Range Bag & my VTAC-LBE vest. They are extremely handy;a sharp knife within easy reach.

much smaller than expected - that's ok. almost no sharp at all. the string inside the grip drop out within 10 minutes and no way to reinstall tightly.[...] don't know how would you recommend this. just keeping for lemon cutting.

Light and easy to carry (and leave in pants pockets through the washer...I can testify it washes well). Little ball chain is kind of cheesy and the point when folded up ALMOST pokes out a little over the handle. Will probably lose this eventually, but is coming in handy right now. OK if you get it on sale.

This tiny knife is impressive! I bought two and put a quick-release (keychain) fastener on each ; I now use these knives as zipper-pulls on my large backpack & my VTAC vest. Don't let the diminutive size fool you ; they're the first ones I reach for,in most situations where you need a light,sharp,handy knife. Have already found a place to use two more....I believe I own at least ONE of every Byrd knife that Sierra sells,and I like them all.

Like all all spyerco products this knife holds its own in any situation. A small power house of a knife!!
