They look and feel a lot like \u2018real\u2019 spyderco knives (and they are\u2026 kind of) except that they\u2019re made in China and the steel isn\u2019t quite up to the notoriously high standards of a true Spyderco knife.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the fact is, Byrd knives aren\u2019t just cheap knockoffs.

Those knives suffered from some serious quality control issues, and the story goes that the folks at Spyderco hated them so much that they destroyed most of them. Those that actually made it to the market are prized by collectors today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just to be clear\u2014and I really can\u2019t stress this enough\u2014the Harrier 2 is light years beyond the original Harrier. Today\u2019s Byrd line includes several knives (Harrier, Meadowlark, Crow, Starling, you get the idea) that are more-or-less affordable versions of proper Spyderco knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harrier 2 can most closely be compared to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/spyderco-endela-review\/\">Spyderco Endela<\/a>. It has a similar blade shape and handle style to the Endela, though it costs about half as much. Both knives are in that not-too-big, not-too-small size range, and both are designed to be lightweight and ideal for EDC. The main difference, aside from a few cosmetic details, is the steel used to make the blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*<\/strong>There are 2 versions of the Byrd Harrier 2. the standard&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07RPPC86R\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=techwriter02-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07RPPC86R&amp;linkId=7a89ff79b8b11918712de9381819f87b\" target=\"_blank\">Byrd Harrier 2<\/a>&nbsp;and the model I am reviewing here, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08428QLRL\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=techwriter02-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B08428QLRL&amp;linkId=915c11c6dede2f17bac9903d7e386eba\">Byrd Harrier 2 Lightweight<\/a>.

class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measurements and Specs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ll get into what I like about the Harrier and why in just a bit, but let\u2019s get the boring stuff out of the way first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Byrd Harrier 2 has a 3.39\u201d drop-point blade with a full-flat grind. It measures 7.67\u201d open (4.35\u201d closed) and weighs a trim 3.4 oz. The knife has a black G-10 handle with textured grip. The screw-together handle allows for easy cleaning and adjustment, and a four-position clip offers multiple carry options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The steel used to make the blade is 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. In layman\u2019s terms, it\u2019s cheaper steel than the VG-10 stainless steel used for the blade of the Spyderco Endela. That\u2019s not to say that it\u2019s \u201cbad\u201d steel by any means, but it doesn\u2019t have quite the edge retention or corrosion resistance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Does that mean the Harrier 2 isn\u2019t as good a knife as the Endela?

I\u2019ll tell you right upfront that I think this is a great value, and here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harrier 2 feels great in the hand. For a guy with average-sized hands, the handle is just the right size, and the textured G-10 (a type of glass-based epoxy resin laminate) offers excellent grip even in wet conditions. It\u2019s hard to describe why a knife just \u2018feels\u2019 right in your hand, but this one definitely does. That has to do with the weight too, which is more than light enough for EDC, but still substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The blade of the Harrier 2 is razor-sharp right out of the box. It cuts and slices beautifully thanks to the full flat grind, which should also make it easy to sharpen when the time comes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_970099-ac > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_970099-ac\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_970099-ac\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_22b81e-eb{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_22b81e-eb > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_22b81e-eb\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/tech-writer-byrd-knife-review-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>The \u201cspydie hole\u201d is gone and a teardrop cutout is in it\u2019s place. The deployment hole resembles a birds eye.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s jimping on the back of the blade which adds some excellent thumb grip. Notably, the Harrier 2 also has a finger choil on the underside of the blade. That\u2019s something the Spyderco Endela actually does not have, and to be completely honest, it kind of makes me like the blade of the Harrier 2 a little bit more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Harrier 2 also has a solid, sturdy back lock, which is a must-have in an EDC knife for me. There\u2019s no play in the blade whatsoever when it\u2019s locked in place. It also opens and closes very smoothly. Not quite smoothly enough to do the so-called \u201cSpidey flick,\u201d but still plenty smooth in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four-position clip makes this knife fully ambidextrous, so that\u2019s some good news for lefties. Overall, there\u2019s very little not to like about this knife. It\u2019s just right for EDC, and there are honestly a few things about the Harrier that I prefer compared to much more expensive blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/byrd-havvier-2-vs-delica-4-1-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_411fac-9a > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignnone\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_411fac-9a\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-layout-id_411fac-9a\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_49b94d-ba{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_49b94d-ba > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_49b94d-ba\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p><strong>SIZE COMPARSION:<\/strong>&nbsp;You can see how the Harrier 2 stacks up against its brothers. From top to bottom; Spyderco Para3, Byrd Harrier 2, Byrd Meadowlark 2, Spyderco Delica4. You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/spyderco-para3-lw\/\">read our review of the Para3 here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Room for Improvement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where the Harrier falls a little bit short is in aesthetics. And while the look of a knife ultimately isn\u2019t as important as its functionality, I can\u2019t help but wonder if the folks at Spyderco made the conscious decision to make this knife look intentionally cheaper than a \u2018real\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/techwriteredc.com\/the-best-spyderco-knives-for-edc\/\">Spyderco knife.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you notice about this knife is the teardrop-shaped thumb hole, as opposed to the classic circular thumb hole you would see on a Spyderco. The Byrd hole is, honestly, just kind of ugly to look at. The phrase \u201cbyrd 8Cr13MoV\u201d is printed on one side of the blade in very clear font (it says \u201cChina\u201d on the other side) so that anyone who\u2019s a big enough knife nerd to know what that means can tell at a glance that the steel isn\u2019t top of the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Again, none of this makes the knife any less useful. The only real factor that might hold the Byrd Harrier 2 back is the quality of the steel.

2?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The quick answer is yes, you should own at least one Spyderco Byrd Knife!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019re torn between the Byrd Harrier 2 and the Spyderco Endela, and you just can\u2019t decide which you should get. The most significant difference between the two comes down to the blade steel, so the real question is, how badly do you need high-end steel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most people, the answer is \u201cnot that badly.\u201d The average knife owner doesn\u2019t use their knife more than once or twice a day, if that. At that level of use, the difference between great steel and pretty good steel is negligible.<br>Of course, if you use your knife a lot, it might be a different story. Let\u2019s say you use your EDC knife to break down dozens of boxes every day for work. In that case, yea, the blade of the Harrier will definitely dull faster than the Endela, and you will have to sharpen it more often. The knife will most likely wear out faster and need to be replaced sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimately, whether the Harrier 2 is the right knife for you comes down to how much wear-and-tear you expect to put it through. But I stand by my assessment that it\u2019s an amazing knife for the money, and for an average knife user, it gives you every penny\u2019s worth and then some.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_0ff494-14 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_0ff494-14 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >
