Placing this post in the right place, hopefully.

Ok... Man, there are some *crazy nice* knives in *THIS* thread. Fantastic works of art.

Here’s a little trout and bird knife I picked up years ago. My son has another one just like it - almost its twin. He never goes hunting or fishing without it. He usually has a rugged looking big orange handle folder in his kit, with gut hook and saw blade, but he always has the Treeman on his belt. The little 3 ¾” blade does almost everything he needs when field dressing. He keeps it in his car the rest of the year. Razor sharp and takes an edge with ease – a simple honing now and then on a kitchen steel will keep it going for months. These knives hold their edge well.

And the little Mosher sheaths are fantastic for everyday carry or throwing in a tackle box or car seat cubby. Especially thick and tough, protect the knives well, but aren’t too heavy. These little knives, in their sheaths, give a natural impression of a “basic tool.”

With its similar top bevel and overall profile, it compares favorably with a Randall #7-4 ½, coming in about 1 1/8” shorter in OAL. But of course, it’s convex ground.

Great little knife Gary
If nothing else, you have a classy steak knife you could take anywhere. Spacer stack is sharp looking.

They say that “great minds” think alike. When I first saw this knife, my first thought was that it would be perfect for cuttn’ up a steak!

LOL, you got it right!
Who needs bird and trout when steak is on the table, right?
