1 million knives recalled

[GatorFlash1]

Looks to me like the tip broke off the knife. Is this a special HF design for safety reasons so nobody can get stabbed?

That is a lot of knives recalled! It will be interesting to see if there are any law suits from it.

I'm NOT a lawyer , but my general impression is that for a really big payday you have to have some fairly significant damages done to a very appealing victim and an unpopular defendant . I don't know if that applies here .

But it's stainless steel!

"Surgical" stainless!

Spyderco needs to send in their Byrd reps to Harbor Freight purchasing dept ASAP. Give hillbillies with $15 to impulse spend on a knife a decent option.

So, are you implying that your hillbilly if you buy a Byrd knife?

Y’all can bag on HF all you want, but like someone else pointed out, everyone has an item recalled occasionally. At least this is getting a recall. 7 - SEVEN - out of 1 million is a pretty small percentage, so these could have gone completely ignored, but they weren’t. I’m not defending this knife, in fact, I’m pretty sure it’s absolute junk, but no worse than a lot of what I see at flea markets, or in the pockets of some tradesmen, EMTs, cops, or any other average Joe.

As for HF itself, just know what you’re buying going in. I buy all kinds of stuff from there, but also know what to avoid. You can’t really mess up a 2 lb hand sledge, a rubber tire chock, or a 100 pk of razor blades. The 10 ton log splitter is quite well built, as well as the aluminum floor jack. But I also wouldn’t buy my good ratchets, sockets, and wrenches there. Us hillbillies are smarter than you may think.

I just bought my first byrd knife today on the bay. I'm a city boy. Hope there are no fake byrd knives.

I bought a 3 ton floor jack from HF. Daytonya Brand. Harbor freight is good for somethings.

Harbor Freight makes some decent products. Just stay away from anything with a power cord or battery.

People who buy and depend on $5 knives.

1.1 million knives recalled after 6 people cut themselves. That's a half dozen decimal places less than 1%.

Redneck is a whole different species than Hillbilly, Doc.

Yeah ! We may know that but city folk generally don't .

There's plenty of overlap , IMO .

I would be both by some definitions , by birth and inclination .
