Spyderco Byrd Robin2 Lightweight
Item #: SPCBY10BK
$33.95
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. C.Q.I., or Constant Quality Improvement, is a process used by Spyderco to update and refine longstanding knife designs. Sometimes the improvements are large and noticeable; sometimes they are just a small refinement. Backed by the Spyderco reputation, and made with quality materials, you can't go wrong with these knives.
The Robin2 Lightweight is an easy knife to carry everyday. The full-flat ground blade has a comet-shaped hole for one hand opening/closing. Jimping dots the spine, creating tactile resistance that restrains the folder from sliding and slipping when cutting. The fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handle is molded with Bi-Directional Texturing® with a fish-scale pattern giving you a good grip. A four-way clip offers the option of carrying the folder tip-up/tip-down or left-right-handed and a lanyard hole located at the back of the handle accommodates a secondary-retentive thong or cord.
The Robin2 Lightweight features a 2-1/2" 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. Measures 3-5/16" closed and weighs 2.2 oz. Made in China. Suggested Retail $45.15.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
