I will have to pick one up...cause I am a sucker for knives like that! LOL. I had never heard of Byrd before, but I just checked out the web page. Good prices, and if they are as good as you say, then the price is worth it and your price was awesome!

Yes, after time the blade will loosen, if not tightened regularly. If and when I carry a knife, its usually just the cheap plastic handle bait knife from Long Fin or local tackle store.

A lot of the new knives have the locks on the handle where they wont open unless you move the lock. But in an emergency that is just one more thing to figure out. I have a Kershaw that has one, and even with normal use I forget about the lock. They say that you need to do something 1000 times for it to become muscle memory. But with so many knives who has time for that!?!?! LOL
