Product Review
The Meadowlark Lightweight has long been one of the bestselling knives in Spyderco's value-priced byrd line of cutlery, and this second generation model offers several design improvements over the original. Upgrades include a full flat-ground blade, proprietary Bi-Directional Textured finish for nonslip performance, and phosphor bronze pivot washers for exacting blade operation. Jimping along the spine and choil create a solid grip in your hand, and a four-position clip enables a variety of carrying positions.

About Spyderco
Thinking beyond established knife industry practices has allowed Spyderco to introduce new innovations, including one-hand opening, serrations on a folder, and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. Spyderco remains dedicated to researching and developing improved, better-performing materials with function and reliability, and its unique cutlery line is a result of designing ergonomic, functional tools. The company puts its new products through rigorous testing prior to release, examining edge retention with a CATRA machine, looking for rust development with Q-FOG, checking the force needed to open and close a knife, and analyzing numerous other technical details.
