Anybody have a Byrd Tern yet? Apart from a few snippets on various forums and a some photos from Spyder Collector, there's nothing on it. I remember a thread on BritishBlades (Sal said he made the knife specifically at the request of that forum) where some members would receive a test sample, but there were no follow-ups. My Tern is scheduled to be here tomorrow, which is a little confusing to me as well; I'm generally behind the curve when it comes to actually buying new knives, and for there to be no reviews or in-depth thoughts on the knife is a bit odd. Is this just a model that's not highly advertised and not many people know about it, or what? I'll put up some photos and a review when I get it, but for me to be the very first person to review a knife would be, well, a first for me.
 
I was poking around the net myself tonite and came across the Tern. They are starting to go up for sale with no fanfare. :confused: I know it's a byrd but still. Where did you get yours & please post some pictures. I'm thinkin' of getting one mabey Monday.
Cheers. :)

Also, isn't the Manbug out now? :eek:

I got mine from KnifeCenter. It should be here today (Friday) from UPS. I'll post s photo review of it, which from my research, will be the first review of this knife ever. I'm hoping it's just as good as a UKPK.
 
The Terns Sal sent to BB have started to arrive :)

I haven't bought one yet solely because I'm so happy with my CF UKPK / Kiwi slipjoint / Squeak rotation at the moment.
 
Thanks JN. Just ordered one myself from KnifeCenter. :eek: The byrdline is always a great edc for me. I never have to worry about my knife when I'm out doing daily "stuff". I can then save my beautiful Spydies for different ocasions. :p
Thanks for the help & please add some photo's so I can begin the drooling process!! :D

(didn't wait till Monday, did I !!,lol)

Nikoo posted his review on BB yesterday. It does seem to have been released quietly. Looks like a lot of knife for the money, particularly in the UK as it meets our stringent laws.
 
Thanks for the excellent review!! We all needed to see this new knife in the byrd line-up. Sal sure puts out a good knife no matter what priceline you are after.
Thanks Sal. :)
Thanks JN. :eek:
Let the drooling begin! :o
