The Cattleman looks to have a little more belly on the blade compared to the K'roo.

Coach, I agree. We scale them, gut them, remove head, and put them in some corn meal/ flour mix. Then into the grease. Good eating. Walker

We use a grapefruit spoon to scale with and a sheepsfoot blade to de-fin, gut, and cut the heads off with.
I’m hoping that this knife can be both.

I never defin, after cooking, the fin pulls all the bones out. I only scale with a spoon, gut and take off the head. Fry crispy in cornmeal/flour/Tony's and when crispy, I eat the tail first. Pull the fins with the bones, then eat it like a corn cob.

I never defin, after cooking, the fin pulls all the bones out. Pappy, Once when I was a kid, we had fried up some fish and I ran across one fish that had not been de-finned. I pulled the fin out and told my Dad that we didn’t need to de-fin ‘em any more. Daddy finished the bite he was chewing on and then said: “We’ll keep on de-finnin’ ‘em. That cut gives the corn meal another place to git into.” I reckon that old habits are just hard to break.

Walker (Shoot870p) just got one of Willem's K'roo knives and sent me a couple of pictures.
With his permission, I'm posting them on here.
I'll let him give a description.

Thanks for posting, coach. Blue burlap micarta with a shield inlay and lanyard hole. This is a heavy knife for sure but it is well made! Walker

Willem does a drawing every Sunday afternoon for one of his knives on Instagram. 30 or 36 spots (depending) at $10 a pop. He had a SUPER NICE knife today. https://instagram.com/willemokelly?igshid=1kcawm598kin9
