Spyderco Byrd Hawkbill (BY22SBK)

The pocket knife from the specialized manufacturer Spyderco belongs to solutions at the intersection of the entry-level and mid-price segments. The model is notable for its light weight (only 75 grams) and compactness when folded (just over 10 cm). In this case, the length of the blade reaches 73 mm. The main feature of the Spyderco Byrd Hawkbill knife is the original hawkbill profile of the same name: the blades have a curved shape, like the beak of an eagle or the claw of a predatory animal.

This blade owes its appearance primarily to the fishing industry: it is excellent for cutting fish, opening packages, etc. In addition, the cutting edge here is serrated (serrated), which means it is optimal for cutting operations. The blade is made of 8Cr13MoV steel - an alloy that is well protected from corrosion, which in this case is also distinguished by its increased level of hardness. Thus, an indicator of 59 to 60 units on the Rockwell scale indicates long-term retention of sharpening sharpness. The handle has a finger groove and a metal base, with practical FRN fiberglass as inserts. The material has a characteristic textured surface that provides slip resistance. For carrying, a steel pocket clip is included with the ability to secure the tip down or up.
