Byrd Tern Folding Knife Reviews

4.9 Rating 7 Reviews

The Byrd Tern is a non-locking folding blade knife that is legal to carry in the UK. Byrd is a subsiduary company of Spyderco so quality is guaranteed but at a more affordable price range. The Byrd brand therefore makes knives that are perfectly suited to the working "Every Day Carry" environment.
The Tern has a black G-10 handle... a material that is resistant to warping and fading. The blade is held in the open position during cutting by a notched-joint at the knife’s pivot. When closing the blade, the notch produces resistance functionally similar to traditional slip-joint penknife. To enhance control and comfort there’s a deep finger choil which jogs the index finger into position on the bottom of the blade directly under the thumb.
Placing the index finger in the choil, the finger acts as a stop, inhibiting the blade from closing when cutting and allows the user to choke-up closer to the cutting edge with comfort and dexterity. A wire clip positions the folder to carry deep in a pocket, tip-up and ready for use left or right-handed. The Tern has an 8Cr13Mov leaf-shape full flat-ground blade available in a PlainEdge. The handle is assembled with screw-together construction.

“So it's a SpyderCo UKPK but half the price? The scales are nicer in G10, in my opinion, and the action feels the same. It's a great size plus nice and lightweight along with being very sharp. As something different to a clip point, it's a good design but gets 4 stars as there are cheaper equivalents. The price isn't quite in line with the materials but still better than the big brand option”

“Great little UK legal knife, Byrd maybe the budget friendly version of Spyderco, but this knife is hardly cheap and cheerful. Great one handed opening and arm shaving sharp out of the box. I think I prefer the teardrop design of the Byrd over the Spyderco hole!!”

“The knife is amazing. It came sharp out of the box and the slip joint is great. It does not close on me when using it for harder cutting tasks which is very good.”

“Great to have a quality folding knife that I can pop in a pocket and forget about until needed. Handy to have, while being slim to carry, but easy to open and hold when required. The grip and finger placement gives confidence the blade won't slip while in use, while remaining uk legal as a non-locking blade. Postage was fast and well packed, thanks!”

“Nice little folder, easily deployed with one hand but feels a little small in my large glove hand Came nice and sharp. Clip came off my jeans pocket more than once when sitting. Easier to just put it in the pocket properly. Overall happy with the purchase.”
