Bird and Trout/Utility...

[J. Doyle]

Here's another one I just finished. Going to a Dealer for sale. It's a bird and trout or utility knife. Should be handy in the kitchen.

1/8" 1080
Edge quenched
Hand rubbed finish
Tapered tang
Green/black birch burl
Black linen micarta bolsters, dovetailed
Brass pins and spacer
Multi-coat oiled and waxed hand finish
Leather sheath.

There aren't any flat or square edges here. The reflection makes the scales look flattened on the bottom but they are curved and smooth all the way to the tang.

John,
Your knives always look great, but.....your handles are some of the best I have seen. Maybe one of these days you could do a WIP showing how you do it? hint, hint

Sorry I missed this one earlier John. That turned out really nice. Quite worth the burnt fingers.
