Review: almost a year of TEEN abuse - still does well ** UPDATE for 2019 ** - ** 11/17/2022** still carrying it and using it hard daily! 2 benchmade bugout, 2 griptilian variations, and a 940 have come and gone... no other knife lasts more than about a day and I put my Byrd Meadowlark 2 back in my pocket. PJ shorts at night, shorts, sweats, or dress pants for work days... this knife sta ut s with me at all times. Yesterday I laughed...I used it for opening boxes, scraping wasp's nest off the front doorjamb, food prep veggie cutting, and slicing open the new bag of dog food. I bet I reach for it 5-10 times a day. * Update 3/1/2019 ** I've now carried this knife all these years - it's my EDC now. Our son has settled on a Kershaw Leek and he's carried that knife (2 versions) for about 5 years now. I moved this to my pocket pretty much right at 5 years ago now...and while I have strayed with 3 different Benchmades (Grip, Mini Grip, and 530) I have never lasted very long at all before returning to this knife. Many times I've "threatened" to upgrade to a Delica...but every time I hold one...I can't IMAGINE being without the finger choil on this Byrd. I love the finger choil so much that have bought the Dragonfly 2 - fully serrated - for my canoe / kayak / fly fishing knife. I've used this knife for food prep about a zillion times...because it's clipped to my pocket - shorts, pajamas, jeans, or my suits! Boxes, packages, even used it to destroy a very thick trash can once to break it down for another use. The Serrations are awesome. Easy to sharpen and I doubt I could imagine my life without them. The serrations do 90 % of the cutting that doesn't involve food prep or cleaning fish. (a LOT of fish!) OK- the clip - I found a more long-lasting solution to black out the clip The flat black spray paint was good...but only lasted a few weeks to a month. My wife helped me pick out the most durable black nail polish we could find at Walmart and it seems to be super hard. It lasts for 4-6 months I think. ** Original 2012 review** My son just turned 17 - it was after his 16th last year that I ordered this knife. WOW! has it outperformed my exptectations! I have a Military in LH and really love it - for a massively overbuilt folder it really shines. For my son we wanted to step into this gradually - what if he loses it or breaks it? This was a great knife to start with. Also...since it's smaller it wouldn't spark the "oh my!" reactions that sometimes come when you whip out the biggie Military. So he's really into hammock camping and fires. The guys (and gals) in his group really love to hang out at the fire...and probably 1/2 dozen of us parents have set up fire pits on our property for them to go between...plus all the campgrounds and forest campsites that are close...it's been a good year for them...lots of fires and hanging out. Most of the boys - mine included - have a sturdy fixed blade and a hatchet or axe for the heavy use...but you know DARN well that a kid will use what's close and at hand first. lol. I can tell by the HEAVY useage marks on this little knife that it sees a LOT more use than his ESEE RC-3 Military fixed blade. (He LOVES the ESEE 3, but like I said...if you have to walk back to your truck to get the fixed blade...or you can use the knife clipped to your pocket...and you are 16...well...haha. OUT OF THE BOX - ours needed a few TWEAKS. Hey, it's a $20ish knife...I'm ok with that. We sanded the 'spydie-hole' with some sandpaper, it was a little rough. In 3 minutes it was perfectly smooth. The FRN material (the handle scales) had a few sharp edges and one part sticking out (from the casting process I guess)and it too got sanded down quickly and that was that. Also the factory edge was fair...certainly not like a US made Spyderco...but my gosh...this cost a fraction...we touched up the edge quickly and then it shaved hair. beyond the mucho kindling I'm sure he's processed with it...I've seen it used for countless boxes, envelopes, food prep like cutting sausage, fruits, potatoes, jerky, dicing up potatoes , and cleaning lots of fish. The serrated portion is awesome at rope, paracord, and sawing motions...and is a BREEZE to sharpen with the little cheap pocket Smith sharpeners. (Or any with that little "rod" - sharpens serrated edges SO easy - it's a cinch!) The blade itself is super easy to sharpen - much easier than my Military...it's somewhere between the hardness of that and the sorta soft steel in the swiss army knives we have. As I move along in the 'knife journey' - to be honest...I'd rather have a steel that I can sharpen easily OVER a steel that holds an edge forever but is a real pain to sharpen. I sorta like cleaning my guns...and don't mind sharpening my blades every so often - feels OK to me - and it's very easy with this knife. I did it for awhile...taught my son...now he keeps it very sharp on his own with not much effort on the stone and strop. Plus...the serrated edge gets used the most - and it stays sharper longer anyway...and again...is super easy to sharpen with those rod-type sharpeners (we got a few of the inepensive smith ones here on desertcart.) I am still thinkng of getting him a Delica as a 'step up' in the same size range...but maybe I'll just wait another year and move him all the way up to a Military or Paramilitary 2 when he is 18 next year...but it's awful hard to ignore the fact that this in-expensive version has performed SO well for so little cost. I'm a tip-down person (from the Military useage) and so far this knife has seen both tip up and down useage - mostly tip down I'd bet thru this past year. All the various carry positions work great with this knife. WISH the clip were black! To blend in better in pockets - but we solved this by making a stencil that slides under the clip and then just hit the clip with some flat black spray paint -takes 10 seconds and do it about once a month...and viola! the clip is flat black and blends in well with pockets. oh yeah...the clip is very strong too. I saw this knife clipped to his pack...survive a tumble from the mtn bike on a trail...and never move or separate from the pack. cleaning the knife is easy - we just run it under hot water for a bit and dry it in front of a fan and hit it with wd-40 and it's done. simple. the blade takes on a nice bit of 'wear marks' over time with HEAVY useage...but again...this was a year that covered my teen son's use and abuse - I'm sure it went thru more in this past year than a lot of adults will put their blades thru in 10 years. lol. Am thinking of picking up another actually. especially after writing all this - it's really been a good blade.
Review: Get the point! - This knife is very lightweight but it seems durable for what I would expect a knife of this type to do. It is a good EDC if you keep in mind that it is a wharncliff style blade, that is a straight blade profile without any belly or curve to the edge. It is more like a utility knife blade profile that you would find in a hardware store. For me, I am either using a knife to open mail, cut rope or using the tip to cut open packages in which this blade style really shines, there is one more place where this blade style really shines, especially historically and that is in self defense applications with appropriate training but I hope that no one ever needs it for that. I have been using this knife since I purchased it and it has not needed sharpening, I use it everyday for the more mundane tasks that I mentioned I am certain that when it does need sharpening I will be able to accomplish this without much effort as this style of blade is pretty easy to line up on a stone. I would not use a grinder as that would ruin the fine tip. Nearly every Spdy co knife I have ever had has had a pretty fragile tip so be aware of that and handle your tool accordingly. All in all, this knife is an extremely good deal, lightweight, sharp and easy to carry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Possibly the Ideal EDC
*by J***S on March 19, 2012*

With most everything being sold today in nearly indestructible tamper-resisted blister packs, I decided it was high time for an every day carry knife. This is would be my 1st knife that hasn't said "Swiss Army" on the side and included a flashlight, screwdriver, and spork (as much as I love pocket gadgets, I rarely carried those for long). On the other hand, I knew if I bought a cheap toy, I'd likely leave it on the nightstand and/or lose it like the countless pocket tools before. So after a ludicrous amount of research on the ludicrous amount of knives out there, I settled on the Delica 4...but I just couldn't bring myself to part with half a Benjamin on something I'd likely lose and/or leave on my nightstand. Then I found this little gem of a clone. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your job security in America) legendary knife-maker Spyderco decided to infuse their budget China-made Byrd line with essentially identical design and engineering. The only significant difference is VG-10 vs. 8Cr13MoV blade steel. If that means something to you, then clearly you aren't in the market for a $20 knife. If not, then you get a tremendous bang for the buck, essentially a $50 knife for about a third of the price. The proof is in the pudding and I've yet to leave this wonderful little knife home once (and on average, a new pocket gadget holds my interest roughly 3.7 days). The Meadowlark2 fits great in the pocket. Its wickedly sharp blade opens smoothly with one thumb & locks very confidently. The grip is extremely comfortable and secure. It's simply a pleasure to use. Personally I think its 2-7/8" blade size is perfect for EDC. It's clearly below the common 3" limit of many jurisdictions and doesn't look ridiculous when opening mail or a package at your desk; yet it's plenty of blade to deter a miscreant or protect yourself if the need ever arises. If I had a knock, it would be that the blade doesn't swing open with a satisfying SNICK. For that reason, I was tempted to get an assisted opening knife, but decided not to because of fuzzy legal descriptions in many jurisdictions. (God forbid I do ever have to defend myself and I become the criminal due to a pocket knife adjudicated to be illegal...which would be just my luck as a nice guy.) So in the end, my one criticism is really a positive. And as a true EDC, I imagine one day the knife will get confiscated while entering a ballpark, concert, amusement park, or airport. At least for my budget, it's one thing to lose & replace a $17 item and quite another to lose and replace one that costs $50. Therefore I believe the Meadowlark2 is simply the perfect EDC knife. UPDATE: After several weeks of joyful use, I found the "snick." It was likely a bit of wear-in, but to be honest, mostly practice. Regardless, the still razor-sharp blade now routinely whips open & locks securely--SNICK!--with a simple flick of the wrist. This is by far my favorite tool purchase yet.
