Byrd Crossbill

Originally used by the marine industry, the blade shape holds rope, line, webbing and netting against the sharpened edge, keeping it from slipping off the tip. The Crossbill hollow-ground blade is manufactured using stainless steel, which contains both molybdenum and vanadium, enhancing the blade?s ability to hold a sharp cutting surface and wear less over time and use. Its comet-looking blade hole is a trademark of the byrd line and is synonymous with the stringent quality requirements, high performance materials and manufacturing, which go into every byrd knife. Entirely stainless steel, the handle has ergonomic contours making long term and strenuous cutting more comfortable.
