It Is Not Only Fine Feathers That Make Fine Byrds. For byrd knife products Spyderco closely monitors and mentor production, using only high-performance materials and tomorrow’s engineering, making their blades from 8Cr13MoV stainless steel. "Steel is the heart of the blade" and paramount to measurable performance. 8Cr13MoV elementally compares to the steel designated AUS-8 in its properties, performance and is high-carbon stainless steel. It contains molybdenum and vanadium with approximately .8% carbon. Molybdenum enhances steel’s strength and hardness. Vanadium, its wear resistance and toughness. Carbon augments the steel's tensile strength and increases its resistance to wear and abrasion. The resulting recipe is blade steel that retains a sharp cutting edge for extended time and use. The comet shaped opening hole is a byrd Knife trademark and synonymous with the quality requirements, high performance materials and manufacturing standards invested in each knife.
