Byrd Cara Cara 2 Lightweight Emerson Opener
The Cara Cara 2 Lightweight Emerson Opener from Spyderco's Byrd line is the fastest byrd knife yet, built for everyday carry users, quick-access enthusiasts, and anyone who values deployment speed in a lightweight folder. This China-made knife features a 3.77-inch 8Cr13MoV blade with a full flat grind, measuring 0.11 inches thick. At 8.5 inches overall, 4.83 inches closed, and 3.1 ounces, the Cara Cara 2 Lightweight offers a substantial presence without weighing down the pocket.
Invented by custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson, the integral hook on the spine snags the pocket as the knife is drawn, opening the blade in the blink of an eye. A sturdy back lock holds the blade securely open, and the nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners support a handle built with fiberglass-reinforced-nylon scales. The high-traction Bi-Directional Texture pattern provides a positive, non-slip grip, and the fully configurable four-position pocket clip keeps the knife ready for any carry preference. Available in both PlainEdge and CombinationEdge formats, this model brings the proven Cara Cara design together with rapid, one-motion deployment.
