Byrd Crossbill
The Crossbill from Spyderco's Byrd line brings hawkbill cutting dynamics into a refined, stainless-framed folder—built for users who appreciate specialized blade geometry and anyone who wants a distinctive cutting tool at a value price. This China-made folder features a 3.25-inch 8Cr13MoV hawkbill blade with a saber grind and hollow ground profile, measuring 0.118 inches thick. At 7.8 inches overall, 4.55 inches closed, and 5.7 ounces, the Crossbill offers a substantial, confident feel in hand.
The concave arc of the hawkbill edge gathers the material being cut, delivering efficient, controlled cutting performance. A sturdy back lock holds the blade securely open, and the distinctive unsharpened swedge adds character and a practical spot for leverage. The refined stainless steel handle carries the same classic presence as the byrd lineup's heavier models. The blade is available in either PlainEdge or partially serrated CombinationEdge configurations, and the stainless steel pocket clip offers right-side carry in either tip-up or tip-down position for instant access.
