Love it.

Question: Would this work in place of a good fillet knife? I've got a super crap fillet knife - and lately i've been fishing and buying every now and again, whole fish. I'm not really skilled with breaking down a fish/making fillets but this looks almost long enough to do the job. I don't really know enough about fish to judge.

Maybe bird+trout knives are just mostly used to gut and maybe scale (for what i'm doing I doubt i'll ever scale a fish).

I realize this likely isn't the correct platform to ask this question properly, but I saw the opportunity to ask someone who should know.

ps, one last comment... where the guard and blade come together reminds me of a fighting knife. a bit more square but okay. any rationale behind it apart from maker's preference?
 
silverLighT thanks for the comments and questions. The term bird&trout can be taken several ways.My take is more size of knife than actual literal use ie. for trout, One could certainly use it for that - being a high carbon steel blade it's not as rust resistant as stainless steel. Also, this knife is a bit thicker at the spine, flat ground to a fine edge which makes it thick enough to be stiff and not as flexible as a typical filet knife. It is more of a EDC type knife. Small, light weight, easy to carry....

When I forge most of my blades I usually drop the edge and keep a defined ricasso - so yes, I guess it is makers preference.
