Bird & Trout
I made this knife at the request of a man in Vermont, who had to cancel the order because his wife had (unknown to him) bought him a custom knife for his birthday. That said, I went ahead and finished it anyway, because I really liked the idea.
It is a direct steal of Jerry Fisk's (thank you, Jerry!) graceful "Bird & Trout" design, executed in CPM S30V. Tapered tang, stabilized Osage Orange scales, and sterling silver pins. Overall length is 6 1/2"; blade length is 3 1/4". I can't recall ever having finished a knife that pleased me as much as this one does! ...and here's the reverse... Hope you like it as much as I do!

As always Don, a very beautiful yet very functional knife with perfect fit and finish. Couldn't get any better.

I like the way the belly of the knife "swells" out from the ricasso, giving it that "forged" look. Which i'm partial to. Excelent knife. I hope to match you skills some day.
