My shrinking EDC gear

[NorthernRaider]

The Byrd tern is my only UK legal knife I'm more used to CS Voyagers or Blade Tec Hunter Lites all supposedly light and compact in themselves.

The Byrd is the budget brand of Spyderco and I think ( unconfirmed) they come through similar quality control systems if not made in the same factory.

The Tern is a UK legal non locking 3 inch folder with synthetic scales and it made in China of 8Cr13MoV stainless pocket clip is 1.5 mm stainless steel wire scales secured with three TORX bolts TBH I love it, its a joy to use as an EDC blade.
The natty design means when you hold the blade in the open position your index finger sits in the serrated notch that is actually part of the cutting blade, which prevents the bugger from closing over your fingers accidentally. Clip point thumb opening, budget price, retains edge quite well, easy to sharpen if needed. Light, compact, low profile.

So low profile that I clip the knife and my new mini flashlight to the inside of the same pocket side by side, now that IS handy cos noth Flashlight and Blade are only 4 inches long ( when folded)
