Byrd by Spyderco Emerson 2 Folding Knife

Meet the fastest byrd ever. This dynamic expression of the Cara Cara 2 Lightweight combines all the proven qualities of this popular model with the extreme deployment speed of an Emerson Opener. Invented by noted custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson, this integral hook on the spine of the blade snags the pocket as the knife is drawn, opening the knife in the blink of an eye. The full-flat-ground blade of this knife is crafted from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, is available with a choice of edge configurations, and is paired with a lightweight handle featuring non-slip injection-molded FRN scales, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a stout back lock, and a four-position hourglass clip.
