X Byrd Raven 2 – Reliable pocket knife for everyday use

The X Byrd Raven 2 is a versatile pocket knife that is perfect for EDC and outdoor activities. With its 8.7 cm drop point blade made from CTS-BD1 stainless steel, this knife offers excellent performance. The distinctive thumb hole allows for one-handed opening, while the pocket clip ensures easy carrying.

Experience from the Shogun team

During a weekend trip, we tested this pocket knife extensively. We noticed how smoothly the thumb hole operates, even when wearing gloves. The back lock felt a bit stiff at first, but became noticeably smoother after a few days of use.

Performance and sharpness of this pocket knife

The CTS-BD1 steel with a hardness of 60 HRC remains razor-sharp, even after cutting rope and wood. This stainless steel is comparable to 440C but offers better corrosion resistance. The satin finish of the blade ensures smooth cutting through food and natural materials.

Grip and ease of use

The black handle sits perfectly in the hand with its ergonomic grip. The weight of 119 grams provides perfect balance. The back lock mechanism feels solid, although it takes some getting used to for smooth operation. The thumb hole as an opening mechanism works intuitively.

Who is this pocket knife suitable for?

This knife is ideal for the EDC user seeking quality without a premium price. Perfect for novice collectors or outdoor enthusiasts who want a reliable knife for camping and hiking. The drop point blade shape makes it highly versatile for various tasks.

Maintenance and durability

The stainless steel requires minimal maintenance. Rinse after use in salt water, dry thoroughly and oil the pivot monthly. The scratch-resistant scales offer high durability and can withstand rough handling. The blade finish remains attractive for a long time with normal use.
