Spyderco Byrd Tern Folding Knife BY23GP

🔪 Spyderco Byrd Tern G10 BY23GP

Discreet folding knife with a “slip joint” mechanism – ideal for EDC in countries with restrictions on locking knives

The Spyderco Byrd Tern is an elegant and compact folding knife designed with European (and other) knife-carry laws in mind. Thanks to the absence of a lock (slip joint mechanism), it is legal in most countries where locking knives are prohibited. At the same time, it still offers sufficient stability, an excellent blade, and durable construction with a G10 handle. An ideal companion for everyday carry in the city and beyond.

Closed length: 95 mm

🟢 Main advantages:

Legal in many countries – the absence of a lock makes it easier to carry where folding knives with locks are prohibited.

Lightweight and unobtrusive – ideal for urban environments or as a backup EDC.

Quality materials – the G10 handle and full-flat grind provide confidence and functionality.

Simple construction – easy maintenance and operation.

Quiet carry – no lock, but with a strong spring and clear feedback when opening.

🔴 Possible disadvantages:

️ No lock – under greater stress or at an improper angle, the blade may close (recommended only for regular EDC tasks).

️ One-sided clip – does not support left-hand carry or other carry positions.
