Byrd CaraCara 2 Rescue Lightweight Folding Pocket Knife, SpyderEdge

The CC-2 Rescue is my favorite knife of the Byrd line. Heavy-duty sheep-foot blade design retains its full spine thickness all the way to the tip. Hollow-ground serrated edge is razor sharp out of the box. Action is smooth, lockup is solid. Both can be adjusted to the operator's preference with pivot and lock-bar screws. Lightweight FRN handles provide excellent grip and control of the cutting edge. With a bit of practice, easily deploys into hammer or reverse hammer grips, by wrist flick only, without touching thumb to blade. The thumb-hole opens even more deployment possibilities. The CC-2 Rescue is rugged, light weight, heavy duty, low-maintenance, sharp and dependable. For those who can handle the size, it is an excellent EDC choice. For those who prefer a more compact EDC option, a smaller Meadowlark-sized Rescue model is also available. Many people say the Byrd makes good knives for the money. I reject that insulting disclaimer. These knives are not designed to be worn as jewelry with your tuxedo. They are intended to be used, day in and day out. Within that context, they are excellent performers, regardless the cost.

Absolute beast. Better than anything else you'll find in this price range. If you work on the water can't beat Spyderedge.

Absolutely awesome. I'm in construction. I've always been a serrated kind of guy. This Byrd was the last of my searching. This thing's a beast. I use it as a saw more often than not, and I can't kill the damn thing. As an out-and-about knife, i carry a Benchmade. Im not a cheapskate, I just don't want to have to worry about punishing a knife at work. Buy'm cheap, beat them for 6 mos and buy another. I need'm solid, sharp and thin. This thing just kills it in all 3 categories. It's impossible to dull! Don't blow this decision on flash and bang, buy yourself a beast. You can give it to your son in 6 mos when you buy another. These pics are after the equivalent of 100,000 miles. Hard miles. I always have another, new one on standby at home, i just don't need it! I can't wait to use it, but the last one keeps on killin'.

Was a little wary of the Byrd line of knives. Have often been told they are foreign made, cheap knock-offs of Spyderco knives. Granted the materials used are different. Yet the quality of this knife is otherwise very good. The serations are razor sharp and easily cut through any materials I have tried. The lock mechanism appears strong (for a liner lock) and it opens and closes easily. The knife is light and comfortable to carry. My only complaint so far is the blade does not sit center when closed. Otherwise it has surpassed my expectations. Will buy a few more Byrd products and see if Spyderco's less-pricey line continues to impress me.

For those talking smack about quality, spend more cash on a Spyderco or get a quality rigging knife. I found a ridiculously big rigging knife for under $20 that eclipses this knife in both size and function. Smaller rigging knives can be found at a lower price. This knife is a rescue knife which means the functions include cutting with a serrated knife and a shackle key for an O2 tank. The comet shaped hole on the knife fits a small shackle. The inside curve of the blade cut out provides extra leverage for turning and is (obviously) reversible for the other direction by turning the knife over. For use on a crashed vehicle, I recommend getting a marlinspike for use as a glass breaker and for punching release buttons before sawing through a strap. A marlinspike makes an excellent dagger for self-defense. Some tactical daggers only operate in the reverse grip downward stab motion and costs 6x too much for such a specialized function. Fancy prison shivs are cool but are not worth wasting over $20 on. I don't recommend this knife for boating or anything that involves water. Get a rigging knife for that.

Move to this edc from a smith and Wesson which was heavy stainless. Was not expecting the weight to be this drastically light. Sharp blade and gets the job done wherever I need it. My business is truck and heavy equipment mechanic. Owned for a while now and the blade is sturdy, no rust, and a good size that’s not cumbersome. So far so good.

I already have a Cara Cara 2 with a fine edge blade and after a year I still love it. Recently I was looking for an affordable knife with a fully serrated edge. I was amazed at just how few of them there are on the market. Of the ones I found most were on Spydercos that were out of the price range I was looking for, this is going to be a hard use knife and even though Spyderco knives are tough, they are so nice I tend to pamper them too much, what can I say, maybe I am sick in the head. Anyways I saw this Cara Cara 2 which essentially is a low cost Spyderco and I am very happy with it. There are lots of versions of serrated blades, and many i think are either designed to tear or in many cases just designed to look cool. Spyderco / Byrd serrated edges actually cut. They make fantastic slicing blades that cut clean, smooth, and rarely need resharpening. Most knives today either come with a fine edge or a combo edge, but a fully serrated edge for repeated slicing tasks, there's no substitute, wish there were more out there but for now this one suits me fine.

Let me start by saying I own every tool imaginable. Why? Because they all have specific functions. This knife has a specific function. Cutting rope and webbing. It is superb at cutting through materials suck as a seatbelt type webbing or thick rope. I have tested on many heavy materials that keenly sharp knifes have a tough time with and Nothing I have ever owned comes close. Why is it great? Three reasons 1) it has serrations (entire blade length) 2) it is sharp 3) long blade length (4inches). Is this a "sexy knife" with nice ergo handle, great balance NO! When I opened the box I though "crap" one of these cheap chineese $5 disposable knifes. Then I put it to work. It s superb! I only write reviews when a product is either fantastic or it sucks. This is a fantastic tool for $25.

La uso como navaja de rescate y emergencias, tanto en mar como en tierra. Super recomendada. Corte impresionante. Relación calidad/precio magnífica.

Excelente producto, a pesar de ser de la línea económica de Spyderco. Muy ligera, fuerte y con un filo legendario.

Es gibt eigentlich nicht viel mehr als in der Überschrift zu schreiben. Ich sammle Messer, habe auch einige von Spyderco und Byrd, deshalb habe ich die Messer im direkten Vergleich, abgesehen von dem Klingenstahl und den Herstellungsland gibt es keine großen Unterschiede. Ich hatte, als ich im Einsatz war das Spyderco Military dabei, im Personenschutz erst das Police und nach der Gesetzesänderung in England den UK PEN. Ich habe im Laufe der Jahrzehnte einige Messer verschlissen und verloren, dass ging irgendwann ins Geld. Als Spyderco mit Byrd an den Start ging, hatte ich keine Not die Messer auszuprobieren, Chinastahl ist nicht schlechter als andere Stähle. Was man gut daran sehen kann, dass auch andere namhafte Messerhersteller in China produzieren lassen. Warum also jetzt das Cara 2 Rescue? Zum einen führt es einer meiner Freunde seit einigen Monaten im Dienst (Zoll) und ist sehr zufrieden und außerdem gibt es in der Qualität, für den Preis nichts vergleichbares. Kurzum, sauber verarbeitet, liegt gut in der Hand, bei mir (ich habe Handschuhgröße 8) tatsächlich auch mit Handschuhen. Und der Preis mit etwas über 30€ ist eigentlich unschlagbar. Ich hatte das Cara 2 Rescue mit dem Cara 2 zusammen bestellt, weil der Preis so günstig war, auf das Cara 2 warte ich jetzt noch, da ist die Lieferzeit etwas länger. Ich kann hier eine klare Kaufempfehlung aussprechen. Übrigens, aufgrund der Klingenform fällt es nicht zwangsläufig unter Paragraph 42 Waffengesetz, informiert euch aber bitte über euer zuständiges Landeskriminalamt (Niedersachsen und Bremen erlauben das tragen wenn ein Bedürfnis nachgewiesen werden kann) bevor es Ärger gibt. 😉

Produto de excelente qualidade!

Ottimo sotto tutti gli aspetti
