Byrd by Spyderco Cara Cara 2 Folding Pocket Knife, PlainEdge

This knife has a good weight. It holds a sharp edge, and stands up to heavy use. This is the second one I’ve purchased. The other one was still in great shape. I lost it to TSA 🫠 but ordered a new one and I love the quality.

Spyderco byrd Cara Cara2 SS PlainEdge Knife I got this knife especially for the sleek look, but it is so much more than that. The quality is amazing considering the money. I know it's not cheap but compared to other folding knives it's great for the money. I purchased this knife and the Spyderco Police Model Stainless Steel Plain edge. This one is made in china while the Police model is made in Seki-City Japan. But let me tell you there is a difference in quality like the blade and mechanics but both knifes are awesome. It is not as smooth and quality wise as the police model but very similar. Great carrying everyday use and sharp as it can get. Overall very happy with the product. All the specifications are in the link provided . The reason why I compare both knives is because the Police Model Stainless Steel Plain Edge Knife is so similar but about $70 bucks more. That is why I did a review on both knives.

Sharp enough to shave arm-hair right out of the box and seems really sturdy. It's also relatively comfortable in my hands which are pretty big. It's kind of hard to depress the lock to put the blade away, but I prefer that to having the lock be too easy to press. I'm happy with this purchase and don't think there's many other knives that are of this quality for a similar price. I'd say the steel is a mid-quality steel and will have to be re-sharpened after regular use - there's a lot of information on the internet comparing knife steels so if you want something stronger you probably want to look up a comparison but for this price, this is a good quality steel and the manufacturer has tempered it properly from what I can tell.

I carried a Spyderco Police model for ten years, but when times got tough I sold it. I missed it almost immediately but I didn't want to drop $100 on another one, and I replaced it with the original Cara Cara in stainless steel. That's been a great knife, and it's been in my pocket every day for the last eight years or so. It's easy to sharpen, holds an edge reasonably well, and it's as serviceable today as the day I bought it. Say what you want about Byrd knives, but I can tell you from experience that the original Cara Cara would have given my Spyderco Police a run for its money. I saw the Cara Cara 2, and I liked the shape of the blade a bit better, and on a whim I ordered one. This is definitely not the same knife as the original model. The first thing I noticed was that it's noticeably lighter than the old model, so I dropped them both on a scale and found the CC2 is .4 OZ lighter. The handles are nearly identical and virtually all the reduction in weight is due to the new blade. The old blade was hollow ground and was .125" thick for nearly the entire length of the spine. This new blade is .125" thick, but only back by the tang, and it tapers all the way to the tip. With relatively light finger pressure I can actually get the blade to flex. To me this is more like the blade you'd find on a good kitchen knife than on a folding pocket knife. But even having said that, I still like it. The rest of the knife is pretty much identical to the original CC. Everything is tight and well constructed, and although the blade isn't as thick as I might like, it's certainly sharp. It's also a little lighter in my pocket, so that's a plus. And for the stuff I use a pocket knife for - opening mail and boxes, cutting rope and string trimmer line, and first one thing and then another - I doubt the thinner blade will be an issue. If it performs as well as the original CC I'll consider it $27 well spent.

For years I carried a Spyderco with the same type of scales, but with a serrated edge. I believe it was a gift and it cost quite a while ago about three and a half times more than this knife. I misplaced the knife and noted that it'd cost a lot more to replace it. Fortunately, I found where it'd fallen, but I don't want to use it for EDC anymore and I found this one. It arrived on time, I immediately used it to open another package and it was nice and sharp. The Byrd knife Locks up positively, and it's a strong action. There's absolutely no wiggle. I like the little reverse curve on the release. I've no doubt this knife is worth much more than I paid for it, and dang if I didn't just go shopping for more of them.

Lost my 1st spider, but not this one. Great edge

Great knife, engraved well enough and for the price it’s great.

My 3rd Cara Cara. First, it’s big, looks good, feels good, all metal, 8 13 i believe, tolerances are tight like tiger. Razor sharp and takes a good blade. Oh and totally reasonably price. Its a slope made Spyderco. It’s bomb dignity yo. Any who. Don’t buy it or the secret is going to come out and every fool will want one.

Una Navaja de muy buena construcción para el día a día está excelente. La uso mucho y para iniciar con estas herramientas está excelente en cuanto a precio y calidad.

Es sieht aus als ob es schon benutzt wurde.... Das Messer an sich ist für den Preis ok.

Muy sólido, fiable, buena retención del filo

Nunca me la enviaron
