Spyderco byrd Meadowlark2 Black SS BlackBlade ComboEdge Knife
The second generation Meadowlark2 Stainless Steel offers an all-black, non-reflective folder. Designed for peak performance at a value price, the knife has a black Carbonitride coating. The coating eliminates the steel’s reflective quality subduing the knife’s flash and making it less noticeable. The flat-ground 8Cr13MoV blade is available with a combination plain/serrated cutting edge. Shaped like a comet, the blade’s hole indicates it’s a byrd model, and represents the quality standards and tight tolerances found throughout the byrd line. Capping the blade’s spine is a series of crosshatching the knife industry calls jimping. Jimping reassuringly grips the thumb keeping it from slipping while cutting. The Meadowlark2’s ambidextrous configuration has predrilled holes for attaching the clip to carry tip-up or tip-down. Finger choils along the handle’s underside create the sensation that the knife is an extension of the hand. Cut out of the lock’s release is a safety feature called a David Boye Dent allowing you to tightly grip the handle without fear of accidentally releasing the lock.
