Whether you're on the job, in the outdoors, or handling daily tasks, the Gooney offers the performance, comfort, and durability that Spyderco is known for.
At the core of the Byrd Gooney is its 3.46-inch Hawkbill blade, expertly forged from 9Cr14MoV stainless steel. This high-performance steel is renowned for its exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of cutting tasks. The Hawkbill blade design is specifically engineered for pull cuts, precision slicing, and controlled cutting, excelling in applications where accuracy and efficiency are key.
Finished with a sleek satin polish, the blade not only looks professional but also reduces glare—a critical feature for maintaining a low profile during tactical or outdoor tasks. Spyderco’s signature thumb hole opening allows for smooth, one-handed deployment, ensuring quick, effortless access when you need it most. Whether you're cutting rope, slicing through packaging, or tackling rugged materials, the Gooney’s blade delivers uncompromising performance.
Designed with both comfort and durability in mind, the Byrd Gooney’s handle features gray peel-ply textured G-10 scales. Known for its lightweight strength and resistance to moisture, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, G-10 is the go-to material for those who demand reliability. The textured surface ensures a secure, non-slip grip, even in wet or challenging conditions, giving you maximum control and confidence during use.
Measuring 4.34 inches closed, the handle is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in hand, reducing fatigue during extended use. For versatile carry options, the knife comes equipped with a four-position pocket clip, allowing for tip-up or tip-down, left- or right-hand carry. An integrated lanyard hole adds even more versatility, perfect for attaching paracord or lanyards when quick access is essential.
The Byrd Gooney features a robust backlock mechanism, providing secure, reliable lockup during even the most demanding tasks. This simple yet highly effective locking system ensures the blade stays firmly in place when open, giving you the confidence and safety needed for both heavy-duty and precision cutting. Easy to operate with one hand, the backlock adds to the Gooney’s user-friendly design, making it a dependable choice for professionals and everyday users alike.
Weighing in at just 3.4 ounces, the Byrd Gooney is lightweight without compromising strength, making it a practical choice for everyday carry. Its slim, pocket-friendly profile ensures it’s always within reach, while the durable construction means it’s ready for any challenge that comes your way.
