## Questions & Answers

**Q: Title says combo edge, but picture shows plain edge. Description implies plain edge as well. Which is it?!**
A: I've purchased both the plain and combo edge, along with the rescue2 but, this one was the combo edge. They're all three great knife values for the price. Can't go wrong with the Cara-cara2 in any format.

**Q: Is there a belt/ pocket clip**
A: Yes, there is a large stainless steel pocket clip. Ive had this knife for almost a year now, at first I was not happy with my purchase. The knife seemed cheaply made and not as sturdy as I expected. However, upon using and carrying this knife for months now I can say that it is a little better than I had thought, but still not what I would consider as a good sturdy daily carry knife. I suggest strongly to look at Spyderco, CRKT, Smith&Wesson, and Kershaw. They have some really nice knives at great prices that are much more bang for the buck than this Byrd knife. I would NOT purchase a Byrd brand knife again.

**Q: Does the knife click in place when opened or is it silent.**
A: It is silent and a great knife and it really holds its edge and is light-weight

**Q: What is the advantage of having a straight edge and serrated edge in the same knife?**
A: The straight edge is excellent for cutting boxes open, cutting tape, doing more precision "exacto knife" like cutting. The serrated edge gives you superior ability to cut through stronger materials like bone joint tendons in deer or fish. As well as for cutting string, chords (plastic and threaded) and ropes with one quick, strong drag by folding the rope over the blade and quickly dragging the blade across it. I prefer the dual capability of the half plain and half serrated blade and have used a Spyderco with this kind of blade for over a decade now as my ECD. As mentioned below, the serrated edge is superior in that it can cut through plastic zip ties, seat belts and things like clothing (denim, leather) much quicker and with less effort.
