Byrd Crossbill Lockback Curved Blade Knife

The Byrd Crossbill, part of Spyderco's budget-friendly import line, sets an 8Cr13MoV curved blade with a thumb slot opener, fitted to a brushed stainless handle with a reversible pocket clip, closing to 4.625 inches.

That thumb slot, a cutout at the blade spine rather than Spyderco's signature round hole, still delivers fast one-handed opening at an accessible price point. The curved blade design gives the Crossbill a distinctive profile that stands well apart from a standard, straight-edged folder, while the all-stainless handle construction gives the piece a solid, one-piece feel that folders with plastic scales simply can't match.

A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, one of the most trusted traditional locking mechanisms available for its strength. The reversible pocket clip adapts to either left or right-handed carry preference without any tools needed. Byrd brings Spyderco's design sensibility down to a more accessible, everyday price point. Curved blades remain uncommon among everyday carry folders, so this is a specialized pickup at this accessible price point. Explore more Lockback Knives.
