Bird & Trout Knives, fixed blades

Thanks guys, I will be sure to check them all out. The A.G. Russell Woodswalker looks pretty good.

I'm gonna book mark this page for the future. If and when I do pick up one the knives yall suggested, I will be sure to do a review.

Mucho appreciated.

Greetings from Dubai!

For cheap and readily available - check out the Buck Diamond Back guide. I removed the rubberized handle and replaced it with paracord. Great little SS blade for the pocket and will tackle all the chores you listed - except filleting trout - won't be good for that. Cost is about $20 at Wallmart.

There are a bunch of great makers who specialize in little knives. Koyote just produced some bird and trout models that are nice looking. Bryan Breeden has his Kat knife and JK has his hikers back-up.

Also consider neck knives for the same purpose. Here is my little Wade necker that is good for pocket carry.

This is my favorite knife. Not officially a Bird and Trout but I always considered it one. No longer made but perfect for my outdoor activities. It was stolen out of my vehicle a year ago. Still havent replaced it.

Many years ago I bought A.G. Russell's "Bird and Trout" in AUS-8 stainless. It's not pretty, it's not super steel, but it has been my most-used hunting knife and has breasted out a LOT of ducks. I have some other Bird & Trout style knives, including a very pretty custom from Jim Rehrer, but for some reason the A.G. Russell is the one I grab. I like the dangler sheath with pelican clip and push-button release... it's handy, secure and easy to use.

Stay sharp,

I had forgotten about the "Woodswalker".

That is a hell of a blade on the cheap. I made up a kydex neck sheath for mine and wear it alot when fishing and camping.

It's really thin, like a kitchen knife, razor sharp with a comfortable handle.

If you read the OP's post #7, I believe that Bark Rivers are made for everything he wants to do with it.

Yes possibly, but as an owner of a lot of BRKT knives I still feel they are sturdier more bushcraft orientated knives than 'slicers' The PSK I own may be an exception here but it's hardly Bird&Trout style either. Most Bark River are made with thicker steel than the average in my experience.They also cost more,hardly toolbox inhabitants:D

But, hope he gets something that pleases:thumbup:
