Title: New Bird and Trout Knife
Post by: 4est Trekker on January 02, 2011, 12:52:24 am

Here's a little bird and trout knife with finger ring that I just finished up for my wife's grandfather.  It's made from a small 6" Nicholson file.  The tang is forged and the blade is stock removal.  Thanks for looking :)
