Description

Medium-sized folding knife with a combination blade and black FRN handle – a reliable EDC partner for everyday challenges

The Spyderco Byrd Harrier 2 BY01PSBK2 is a compact yet powerful folding knife designed as an effective everyday carry tool. With a blade length of 85 mm (3.36″) and a combined blade (smooth + serrated), it easily handles both common and more demanding cuts – from packages and groceries to ropes, tapes or harder synthetics.

The black FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle is extremely lightweight yet durable and fits well in the hand even after prolonged use. The lockback lock makes working with the knife safe and stable, while the four-position clip allows for comfortable carrying according to personal preference – for left- and right-handed people, tip-up or tip-down.
