Product Description
-------------------
The BY22 Byrd folder has a Hawkbill-shaped blade. This
distinctive curved cutting tool's claw-like tip overwhelms
material in its cutting path. As the hook pulls what is being cut
against and in contact with the sharpened edge, the hook winds
around material stopping it from sliding off the tip. The
Hawkbill blade's shape is rooted in the commercial fishing
industry, its profile ideal for downward, sweeping cutting
performed at arm's length directed away from the body. Full
serrations across the blade's length measurably increase its
cutting capacity for separating webbing, cardboard and coarse or
fibrous material. The hollow-ground blade features jimping at
both spine and choil for additional tactile dexterity and control
over the cutting edge. Its black fiberglass handle is
Bi-Directionally Textured for slip-resistance in any hand
position with an ambidextrous tip/up, tip/down steel pocket clip.
Nested inside the handle are full length skeletonized steel
liners, increasing rigidity and strength without adding bulk or
weight. Screw-together handle construction allows for adjustment
and a lanyard hole located at the handle's edge accommodates
secondary retention through attachment of a lanyard or thong.
