A Little Byrd Love

JNieporte · Nov 3, 2009

My self-waved FRN Cara Cara has been my go-to folder for almost three (maybe four?) years. Ever since a month after they came out. Thought I'd share some photos of this well-made tool.

That looks very cool, and I say that despite not having liked other self-made waved Spydercos.

That is one ugly knife.

Byrd is probably the best per-dollar knife company right now. Nice one you have there.

I love Byrd knives. My G10 Cara Car is one of my favorites. It puts up with a beating. I've been considering getting one of the smaller Byrds for edc though.

Not ugly. Well-used and loved. It needed a little brother, so I got an FRN Meadowlark.

The byrd Cara Cara was one of the knives given away at this year's Martial Blade Camp (thanks to Spyderco's generosity). We had 40+ hard-core knife geeks from all over the U.S., Canada, and even a player from Japan. Everyone was blown away by the quality and performance of the Cara Cara.

I personally think it--and the entire byrd line--are the best choice for cops, EMTs, and anyone else who wants a reliable, high-performance knife but can't or won't spend much money.

Stay safe,

Mike
