- Today, we'll take apart the Spyderco Byrd Meadowlark 2 in Titanium, a knife that's pretty Delica-like, but with few key changes that make disassembly a bit easier.

It's weird seeing 8cr13mov with titanium. Like marble counters with linoleum flooring, or a gold leaf on a hotdog.
The focus with knives for the largest part in the past decade has been mostly on handles, art, weird fasteners. Heat treat and higher known quantity steel is expensive and getting no cheaper. Its not just Spyderco... Its all of em now
A really easy way to reassemble a Delica is to put everything together aside from the Chicago screw holding the lock bar in, align the blade to the open position, and hold the lock bar in while aligning the screw that holds it in place. No fighting with the nubs that hold the backspacer in place that way. This method saved my sanity.
Agreed
Agree wholeheartedly. You can also use a zip tie to hold the lock bar in the depressed position.
Came here to learn how to reassemble a similar knife. Did not expect it to be thoroughly roasted 😂
I had the black version and loved it, sometimes I would forget I had it since it hid behind my belts, which is good for me, but now I'm looking at this version.
Looking forward for delica and byrd swap!!!
I got the g-10 version and its pretty nice too. I plan on getting this one too. To be clear, I totally agree with you one the "plastic" version. Lol
The Woody Allen of knives!
Curious if the regular delica vg-10 blade fits on these scales
Just for reference, the Delica will not swap with the Meadowlark. Delica body is a bit longer, lock.bar is considerably longer, and backspacer is shorter. The screws are fairly close but still no match.
Otherwise, I'd consider putting my S90 D4 blade into my Meadowlark.
As it stand, I got a Cara Cara 2 and Meadowlark 2 in Ti, going to put the recent Emerson Wave Cara Cara 2 blade/lockbar and the Hawkbill blade/lockbar in if possible, which it should be, though these knives are hand-fitted like full-papers spydies so you may end up with rougher knives, or one that is super smooth and one really rough, depending on the fitment.
If these swaps go well, they may become my EDC for a while. Even though it's a cheap steel, I don't have any trouble with 8Cr13MoV, it takes a fine edge and is easy to sharpen. Good enough for everyday use for sure.
These and the cara cara 2 ti are currently on clearance as they are being discontinued so i picked up the cara cara 2 ti for $55 shipped. It would be awesome to be able to swap the endura blade into it with better steel but the lock bar is shorter for some reason than the endura so I assume the meadowlark and delica are not interchangeable either.
Hey just disassembled my Byrd rescue 2 for cleaning and put it back together and lock back works but scales aren’t synced up so there for alignment is fubared
are the Byrd-TI models worth buying?
Will a Spyderco Delica 4 deep carry pocket clip fit the Byrd Meadowlark 2 Titanium?
Where did you get the Delica scales with the finger choil?
What size are the washers?
This was a pain in the arse to put back together. I have a Byrd with G10. The pivot screws didn't want to come together with the inner metal plate no matter what I did, I had to use a vise-grip to get it done. My finger tips feel raw now. Never doing this again.
The "Exxon Shabazz" uses too much oil? I kid, love the videos.
I have to buy two torx screwdrivers. What is the size? Thank you.
This time: the video isnt put on private within 1 minute :)
Yup!
Nick Shabazz out of curiosity what’s with the private videos? Have been meaning to ask for a while.
If swapping just the blades doesn’t work you could probably switch out the lock bar and the blade and have more success. You wouldn’t get the choil but you still get a non-crap steel
I was thinking the scales might swap easily with the scales/liners from the pakka wood Delica he has.
Currently still stuck on... bugaboo??
hmmmm
Are the blades on this and the delica interchangeable?
Tamás Horváth I was wondering the same thing
If they are im buying one and swapping the blades with my zdp delica. That would be so sweet

Did you say you are gonna give it away?
This was a part of a charitable raffle thing I did a few months back.
This seems like an odd choice to put the titanium on. Why wouldn't spyderco at least do this to the raven or crow that come in bd1?
I’ll make this short and sweet....this knife should be in at least d2
Please upgrade the steel and I'm a buyer..
Even the cts bd1 would be nice
there is a very simple way to reassemble frn delica, endura, etc. its frankly getting on my nerves, hearing you gripe every time this comes up :) i will have to do something about it...
that is so tragic :) to watch you struggle. ok, so, when i find time i will either do a shitty video or a longass comment. comming soon... unless someone esle finaly tells you, cause i cant be the only one to figure this out.
i personaly think that owning a knockoff company is a good thing ... people start seeing the difference between the good the bad and the ugly so naturaly people start buying the more expensive brand when they see where 40 extra gets you
Christ nick stop throwing alcohol all over the place
Gilding a turd lol
