The Byrd Crossbill Partially Serrated, part of Spyderco’s budget-friendly import line, sets an 8Cr13MoV curved blade with a thumb slot opener, fitted to a brushed stainless handle with a reversible pocket clip, closing to a full 4.625 inches overall.
That thumb slot, a cutout at the blade spine rather than Spyderco’s signature round hole, still delivers fast one-handed opening at an accessible, everyday-friendly price point. The curved blade design gives the Crossbill a distinctive profile, and the partial serration section adds bite through rope, webbing, and other fibrous material that a plain edge handles far less cleanly, while keeping a plain section for controlled, precise cuts.
A lockback secures the blade open with a spine-mounted release, one of the most trusted traditional locking mechanisms available anywhere for its strength. The reversible pocket clip adapts to either left or right-handed carry preference without any special tools needed at all. Curved, partially serrated blades remain uncommon among everyday carry folders, so this is a specialized pickup at this accessible price point. Explore more Lockback Knives.
