Get it. Great smaller knife. Love mine. The thing with it hitting your finger when you close it with the compression lock version is a little annoying but not that big of a deal. Feels a lot better to use with the clip removed and small enough to drop in a pocket so not really needed.
I see you missed the "Used To" part. That would mean I'm talking about the past. I clearly state that they may have changed with time.
You are correct. Byrd is made in China, I was wrong there when I said Taiwan.
However, to say I know nothing of Spyderco... may I ask have you ever made a flight to Golden to take a tour of the Golden plant and sit down and talk with Sal personally over the production of a Pen Knife designed to meet the daily carry laws of the UK prior to it being produced? No? I did not think so.
You know you could have simply corrected me and said, "Hey man, I think you mixed up your locations on that late night post. It's China that produced the Byrd series to compete with the onslaught of cheap knives that swarmed the market." The result would have been the same, with me pointing out that you are correct. Instead, you come across as that guy everyone knows as the one who likes to point out others' mistakes in the most public way possible, just to look like the bigger guy in the room.
Once you've been in the knife hobby for a while and have experienced the various steels and understand what they have to offer, you might be inclined to jump on something more premium like the Para 2 in Maxamet from this site.
Maxamet is one of the newer supersteels with insane edge retention properties.
The Para 2 in Maxamet seems to be very well priced during this sale. That's the one I'm going for.
The bonus for me is that KSF doesn't charge sales tax for purchases to my location.
I've purchased from KSF often and consider them one of the top knife vendors I've dealt with.

Good to know! My brother-in-law gifted me what I found out was a para 3... A screw fell out of the clip last week and figured this was a good excuse to get my second Spyderco 😁
Well, after some deliberation about picking up a Delica in a new color, I caved in and bought the Blue Para 3 in S110V that I've been coveting for almost 5 years.
8Cr13MoV steel.. That's a hard pass at any price point, regardless who makes it. That's is amongst the cheapest, lowest, budget steels you can find. Terrible edge retention, especially if it's in serrated. I guess it's okay if you only use it to cut plastic and carboard, even then, you can find really decent knives with mid range steel for about the same cost, like D2, 154CM, N690 steels/knives made by Kizer.

Cheaper than I have seen it in a long time and about $20 than any other store. Thank you

Not secure
I hit continue anywayz but still no dice.
Anyone else?
How does that mean the website is "not secure" ?
