A.G. Russell Knives

Byrd knives are an entry-level series of knives designed, produced and imported by Spyderco. Just right for the budget conscious, these knives are hardworking and tough, with many design options. Backed by the Spyderco reputation, and made with quality materials, you can't go wrong with these knives.

Byrd knife's newest offshoot is the Raven. The aluminum handle is both featherweight and feather textured for ultra-light, slip free cutting. This feathered pattern radiates bi-directionally outward from the handle's center giving purchase to the palm when using a forward or backward cutting motion. The non-reflective black-coated blade has a centerline grind and stippling (crosshatching) where handle and blade connect for better grip and cutting manageability. Full-length steel handle liners complement the handle and a Michael Walker style LinerLock locks the blade open for secure and confident cutting. The comet shaped opening hole is a trademark of the Byrd knife line and is synonymous with the stringent quality requirements, high performance materials and manufacturing we put into each individual knife.

The Raven features a 2-7/8" plain edge blade of 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. 8Cr13MoV blade steel is similar to AUS-8 in its properties and performance. It contains both molybdenum and vanadium with close to 1% carbon content. The comet shaped opening hole is a Byrd knife trademark. Right-handed tip-up/tip-down pocket clip completes the package. Measures 4-3/8" closed and weighs 4.3 oz. Made in China. Suggested retail price is $31.95.
