Spyderco Byrd Meadowlark Black Knife
For those who prefer all black knives, the byrd knife line now offers the BY04BK stainless steel Meadowlark. Its handle and blade are coated with black electric plating that eliminates the steel’s reflective quality subduing the knife’s flash, making it less noticeable. The hollow-ground 8Cr13MoV blade is available with a plain or a combination plain/serrated cutting edge. Shaped like a comet, the blade’s hole designates it’s a byrd product and represents the quality standards and high manufacturing tolerances found throughout the line. Capping the blade’s spine is a series of textured crosshatching the knife industry calls jimping. Jimping grips the thumb holding it steadily on the blade while cutting. The Black Meadowlark is right-handed with pre-drilled holes to attach the clip (also black) either tip-up or tip-down. On the handle’s underside finger choils comfortably position your grip and create the sensation that the knife is a controlled extension of your hand. Cut out of the lock’s release is a David Boye Dent, a safety feature so the handle can be tightly gripped without accidentally unlocking the lock while cutting.

Spyderco Byrd Meadowlark FRN Knife
The knife industry loves acronyms and one frequently seen is the term FRN. It means “fiberglass reinforced nylon” which is a plastic material used in manufacturing knife handles because it’s lightweight, longwearing and not prohibitively expensive. One of the byrd line’s cornerstone models, the Meadowlark is available for the first time with FRN handles. The FRN Meadowlark has slip-free texture, deeply molded into the plastic so it won’t slide or move around in the hand. Nested inside the handle are full-length steel liners adding rigidity and strength without unnecessary weight and phosphor bronze bushing for smooth open/close. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is hollow-ground with a comet shaped hole so the folder opens and closes one-handedly. On top of the blade’s spine is a series of crosshatching the knife industry calls jimping. Jimping creates tactile resistance, gripping the thumb and keeping it in contact with the top of the blade while cutting. Features a 4-way pocket clip for left or right-handed, tip-up or tip-down carry. Cut out of the lock’s release is a safety feature called a David Boye Dent allowing you to tightly grip the handle without fear of accidentally releasing the lock.

Keeping the knife slip-free in the hand while cutting is a section of crosshatched texturing on the blade’s spine called jimping. The G-10 Meadowlark is right-handed with pre-drilled holes in the handle so the pocket clip can be positioned to carry either tip-up or tip-down. Further augmenting the folder’s rigidity and strength are full-length stainless steel liners set inside the handle.
