Hawkbill blades offer exceptional cutting dynamics, literally gathering the material being cut in the concave arc of the edge. The byrd® Crossbill™ expresses these high-performance cutting mechanics in a hollow-ground 8Cr13MoV stainless steel blade and makes them available in a choice of PlainEdge™ or partially serrated CombinationEdge™ formats. It then combines them with a refined stainless steel handle design, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a distinctive unsharpened swedge. A stainless steel pocket clip completes the package, ensuring instant access by offering right-side carry in either a tip-up or tip-down position.
