Byrd Harrier 2 Folding Knife, FRN Black, by Spyderco, BY01PBK2

Tracing its history back to the very first byrd model, the Harrier 2 is a practical everyday-carry cutting tool in the perfect “in-between” size. Now this utilitarian design is available in a lightweight version featuring injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles with a non-slip texture.

Its 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade is full-flat ground for optimal edge geometry and has a textured index-finger choil and thumb ramp. The handle’s nested, skeletonized stainless steel liners provide structural strength for the knife’s sturdy back lock mechanism and anchor a four-position clip that offers all possible carry options. Best of all, it is over 20-percent lighter than its G-10-handled counterpart.
