Featuring a 3.9-inch serrated sheepsfoot blade made from durable 8Cr13MoV stainless steel, it excels at cutting through tough materials like seat belts and rope safely. Its lightweight, fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle ensures a secure grip in critical moments, while the ambidextrous design and sturdy back lock mechanism provide reliable, one-handed operation for both left- and right-handed users. Compact, rugged, and purpose-built, this knife is an essential tool for anyone serious about rescue readiness. ## Description The newly updated Cara Cara 2 Rescue offers lifesaving performance at a very affordable price. Its skeletonized stainless steel liners and textured, injection-molded FRN handles provide the ideal combination of light weight and a secure grip, even in the most demanding environmental conditions. A hollow-ground, fully-serrated sheepfoot blade provides improved edge geometry and cutting performance while protecting against accidental punctures. To complete the package, a four-position clip and sturdy back lock mechanism make the knife completely ambidextrous and an ideal choice for right and left-handed users alike. Whether you're a duty-bound first responder or a prepared civilian, your kit isn't complete without the new Cara Cara 2 Rescue. Review: High-value EDC option. - The CC-2 Rescue is my favorite knife of the Byrd line. Heavy-duty sheep-foot blade design retains its full spine thickness all the way to the tip. Hollow-ground serrated edge is razor sharp out of the box. Action is smooth, lockup is solid. Both can be adjusted to the operator's preference with pivot and lock-bar screws. Lightweight FRN handles provide excellent grip and control of the cutting edge. With a bit of practice, easily deploys into hammer or reverse hammer grips, by wrist flick only, without touching thumb to blade. The thumb-hole opens even more deployment possibilities. The CC-2 Rescue is rugged, light weight, heavy duty, low-maintenance, sharp and dependable. For those who can handle the size, it is an excellent EDC choice. For those who prefer a more compact EDC option, a smaller Meadowlark-sized Rescue model is also available. Many people say the Byrd makes good knives for the money. I reject that insulting disclaimer. These knives are not designed to be worn as jewelry with your tuxedo. They are intended to be used, day in and day out. Within that context, they are excellent performers, regardless the cost. Review: Thick - Absolute beast. Better than anything else you'll find in this price range.

I like the extra features of the Assist, but H1 is great... Help!** A: Get this one. I've got it and my friend has the Atlantic salt. The assist has a beefy handle and unless you're going to be in the ocean with it, it's just a better, heavier knife. His feels like a toy, the assist feels like a serious tool. Its also got whistle and a glass breaker. If you need those ever and don't have them you'll wish you did. **Q: Is there one with a plain edge instead of serrated?** A: Not sure but after owning this ferocious cutting edge I NEVER want a smooth edge again. This blade cuts nylon rope clean in one swipe where a razor blade knife takes multiple attempts. **Q: Where is this Knife made ?** A: Seki City, Japan. The center of Japanese cutlery manufacture for centuries. I own one and give them out to Air Evac nurses, paramedics and firefighter friends. It's the only rescue knife I trust. **Q: Does it deploy a glass breaker if squeezed while folded shut?** A: No glass breaker on this one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High-value EDC option. *by R***A on September 2, 2014* The CC-2 Rescue is my favorite knife of the Byrd line.

If you work on the water can't beat Spyderedge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thing's a Beast! (Pics are 100,000 hard miles later.) *by K***N on September 12, 2020* Absolutely awesome. I'm in construction. I've always been a serrated kind of guy. This Byrd was the last of my searching. This thing's a beast. I use it as a saw more often than not, and I can't kill the damn thing. As an out-and-about knife, i carry a Benchmade. Im not a cheapskate, I just don't want to have to worry about punishing a knife at work. Buy'm cheap, beat them for 6 mos and buy another. I need'm solid, sharp and thin. This thing just kills it in all 3 categories. It's impossible to dull! Don't blow this decision on flash and bang, buy yourself a beast. You can give it to your son in 6 mos when you buy another. These pics are after the equivalent of 100,000 miles. Hard miles. I always have another, new one on standby at home, i just don't need it! I can't wait to use it, but the last one keeps on killin'. ## Frequently Bought Together - Byrd Cara Cara 2 Rescue Lightweight Knife with 3.88" Stainless Steel Sheepfoot Blade and High Performance Black FRN Handle - SpyderEdge - BY17SBK2 - Maxam 5 Inch Saltwater Knife - Rust-Proof German Stainless Steel Serrated Blade with High-Visibility Yellow Handle, Reversible Pocket Clip, Lanyard Hole - Byrd Lightweight Knife - Black FRN Handle with SpyderEdge, Hollow Grind, 8Cr13MoV Steel Hawkbill Blade - BY22SBK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1458440-byrd-caracara-2-rescue-lightweight-folding-pocket-knife-spyderedge](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1458440-byrd-caracara-2-rescue-lightweight-folding-pocket-knife-spyderedge) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-20*
