Spyderco Byrd Crossbill BY07P 3.5" Hawkbill Folding Knife

The Spyderco Byrd Crossbill BY07P delivers specialized cutting performance with its distinctive 3.5-inch hawkbill blade geometry. This folding knife excels at pulling cuts through rope, webbing, and curved materials where conventional straight blades struggle. The aggressive curve concentrates cutting force at the blade tip for efficient material separation.

What Makes This Different

The hawkbill blade profile sets the Crossbill apart from standard folding knives by creating a natural hooking action that traps material against the sharp edge. Unlike straight-edge folders that require sawing motions on tough materials, the curved blade pulls through with minimal effort. The 8Cr13MoV stainless steel provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a sharp edge through extended use.

Key Features

• 3.5-inch hawkbill blade optimized for pulling cuts and curved materials
• 8Cr13MoV stainless steel construction resists corrosion and holds edge retention
• Plain edge eliminates snag points for smooth cutting action
• Stainless steel handle scales provide durability and easy maintenance

The Crossbill handles demanding cutting tasks in marine environments, construction sites, and emergency situations where conventional knives fall short. The curved blade geometry excels at cutting rope, carpet, packaging materials, and other fibrous substances. The stainless steel construction withstands exposure to moisture and corrosive elements without degrading performance.
