Review: Filo poderoso - La novena navaja de la marca Byrd que compro. Dentro de lo que son las marcas chinas esta es de las mejores, un escalón por debajo de la Petrified Fish Aunque esté fabricada allí supervisa Spyderco, si comparamos modelos y cajas son muy muy parecidas, obviamente por 60 euros no tendremos jamás una Delica o una Endela, pero sí algo bastante decente...de hecho Spyderco fabrica la Tenacious también en China y con el mismo acero, 8cr13Mov, un acero chino de gama media equivalente a un AUS-8 y un 440B. Aguantan bastante bien el filo y se afilan en casa con cualquier piedra La apertura no es tan fluida como la de la marca madre, y los acabados son algo más ramplones, puede que las hojas tengan algún defectillo en el lavado a la piedra o las cachas tengan alguna rebaba, pero a nivel de funcionalidad son muy parecidas, no hay puntos calientes o filos que molesten al manejarlas y vienen muy bien afiladas, aunque repito, no tenemos la retención de filo de un VG10 que está un escalón más arriba Este modelo aún no lo he probado cortando cuerda o tela, para lo que está pensada, pero ya pasando el dedo por el filo se ve que es muy similar al Spyder Edge, el tipo de que usa Spyderco en sus modelos, tiene pinta que corta y rasga sin problema, ideal para personal de emergencias o alguien que se tenga que ver en la situación de cortar una lona o cuerda. Además este acero es bastante resistente a la humedad, solo hay que limpiarlo bien antes de guardarlo y mejor si se le pasa un trapo con una gota de aceite como el WD40 Por último aconsejaría no llevarla en la guantera del coche en España aunque no tenga un filo amenazador, ya que nuestras leyes prohiben portar armas blancas en las vías públicas a riesgo de una incautación y multa. Diferente sería llevarla dentro de la mochila y de forma discreta, donde es difícil que nos puedan multar
Review: Bada$$ knife for the price - This thing is great for it's intended purpose: extreme cutting performance in an emergency or rescue scenario, on a budget. I bought it to keep in my truck or take on a trip where I think it could be useful. I don't plan to use it as an EDC knife. For the price I'm ok with it potentially being lost, damaged, or unrecoverable due to use in an emergency situation. The serrades are well done and very sharp. I also noticed they open mail with authority, for whatever that's worth. This thing definitely cuts through material with comparatively little effort to a plain edge or even a combo edge. The blade is longer too which also helps. It feels well made actually, and it functions as good as any regular spyderco lock back knife. Its definitely not of the refined paramilitary quality but it approaches the Delica or Endura level of quality and function......with a few obvious exceptions. The handle scales have some mold marks just to the inside of both handles where the knife rests closed, they're ugly but don't hinder performance or feel in any way. The blade steel won't hold its edge under a lot of use, but I don't plan to use it very much-it just needs to come through for me in an emergency. It does have recessed metal liners in the handles which is a nice touch. The knife is fairly lightweight for its size too. It feels good in the hand, balance seems good, and overall fit and finish is just fine for this price range. I would reccomend this knife, and it'd be a good gift for someone who could appreciate it or actually use it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Another great  Spydie rescuer, I'm just torn between this and the Atlantic Salt. I like the extra features of the Assist, but H1 is great... Help!**
A: Get this one. I've got it and my friend has the Atlantic salt. The assist has a beefy handle and unless you're going to be in the ocean with it, it's just a better, heavier knife. His feels like a toy, the assist feels like a serious tool. Its also got whistle and a glass breaker. If you need those ever and don't have them you'll wish you did.

**Q: Is there one with a plain edge instead of serrated?**
A: Not sure but after owning this ferocious cutting edge I NEVER want a smooth edge again. This blade cuts nylon rope clean in one swipe where a razor blade knife takes multiple attempts.

**Q: Where is this Knife made ?**
A: Seki City, Japan. The center of Japanese cutlery manufacture for centuries. I own one and give them out to Air Evac nurses, paramedics and firefighter friends. It's the only rescue knife I trust.

**Q: Does it deploy a glass breaker if squeezed while folded shut?**
A: No glass breaker on this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Günstig, griffig, scharf!
*by G***K on 11 October 2019*

Für den Preis ein tolles Werkzeug. Man merkt den Qualitätsunterschied zu Spyderco deutlich, und genauso deutlich das Geld das man sich spart. Die Griffflächen sind sehr griffig, das Aus- und Einklappen funktioniert mit wenig Übung einhändig. Da ich es eher wenig benutze, hoffe ich dass die (brutale!) Schärfe lange hält, weil schleifen möchte ich das Ding nicht wirklich.
