Byrd Gooney Lockback – Gray G-10 – Fully Serrated 9Cr18MoV – BY24GSGY
The Byrd Gooney (BY24GSGY) is one of the most distinctive additions to Spyderco’s budget-friendly Byrd "flock." Designed by Spyderco co-founder Sal Glesser, the Gooney stands out with its unconventional hybrid blade shape. This "Reverse S" profile merges the functional strengths of a sheepsfoot, hawkbill, and traditional curved blade, providing specialized leverage for everything from slicing to heavy-duty pulling cuts. In 2026, the Gooney has gained a reputation as a "Knife of the Year" contender in the budget category, offering professional-grade utility for rescue workers, dog groomers, and everyday users who need extreme cutting power in a compact, non-intimidating frame.
The 3.44-inch blade is full-flat ground from 9Cr18MoV stainless steel—a high-carbon alloy that offers superior edge geometry and corrosion resistance. This model features the SpyderEdge fully serrated finish, which excels at powering through fibrous materials like rope, webbing, and heavy plastic. The handle is a lightweight, linerless design utilizing Gray Peel-Ply G-10 scales. This material provides a secure, "locked-in" grip even when wet, while the rock-solid back lock mechanism ensures safety during hard use. With its four-position pocket clip, the Gooney is fully ambidextrous and customizable to any carry preference, making it a versatile, "bomb-proof" EDC tool that punches way above its price point.
Includes: (1) Byrd Gooney BY24GSGY Folding Knife.
