The byrd® Tern™ provides all the advantages of Spyderco’s acclaimed one-hand-opening, non-locking, clip-carry SLIPIT™ knives in an extremely economical package. Its drop-point blade is held open by the pressure of the handle’s back spring on a notched joint at the pivot. A forefinger choil allows you to choke up for maximum control during use and provides an extra measure of safety against accidental closure. Textured black G-10 scales provide a secure grip and a reversible deep-pocket wire clip allows both left and right-side tip-up carry.
