In the world of pocketknives G-10 has super-hero status as a handle material.
It’s a woven epoxy filled laminate that’s grippy in the hand, is nearly
indestructible, repels moisture and chemicals and won’t retain heat or cold. The
mid-sized Cara Cara folder is one of two of the byrd line’s first laminate
handle offering. Featuring a blade made from high-carbon 8Cr13MoV stainless
steel. The comet shaped hole in the blade is found on all byrd knives and
symbolizes quality and tight manufacturing tolerances and allows the knife to be
opened one handedly. Keeping the knife slip-free in the hand while cutting is a
section of crosshatched texturing on the blade’s spine called jimping. The G-10
Cara Cara is ambidextrous with pre-drilled holes in the handle so the pocket
clip can be positioned to carry tip-up right or left handed. |
