Byrd Gooney Lockback Black G10 Spyderco 9Cr14MoV Knife

The Byrd Gooney, part of Spyderco's budget-friendly import line, sets a satin-finished 3.5-inch 9Cr14MoV blade with a distinctive reverse S-pattern blade shape, fitted to a black G10 handle with a round hole opener, closing to 4.38 inches.

That reverse S-pattern blade gives the Gooney an unusual profile that stands well apart from a standard drop point or clip point folder, a distinctive silhouette that draws attention in a way most budget knives don't. 9Cr14MoV gives a step up in edge retention over the more common 8Cr13MoV steel found on many other budget blades. Black G10 resists cracking and fading far better than basic plastic, giving the Gooney durability that extends well beyond its accessible price point.

A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, one of the most trusted traditional locking mechanisms available for its strength. Byrd brings Spyderco's design sensibility down to a more accessible, everyday price point. The Gooney's unusual blade shape sets it well apart from most other budget knives currently on the market.
