Bird & Trout

[Don Cowles]

I made this knife at the request of a man in Vermont, who had to cancel the order because his wife had (unknown to him) bought him a custom knife for his birthday. That said, I went ahead and finished it anyway, because I really liked the idea.

It is a direct steal of Jerry Fisk's (thank you, Jerry!) graceful "Bird & Trout" design, executed in CPM S30V. Tapered tang, stabilized Osage Orange scales, and sterling silver pins. Overall length is 6 1/2"; blade length is 3 1/4".

I can't recall ever having finished a knife that pleased me as much as this one does!

...and here's the reverse...

Hope you like it as much as I do!

Thanks for the kind words, folks! Dave, I'll be at the same table in Atlanta, so do stop by.

Beautiful knife! If I were a fish I would be happy to be gutted with this one

 

[Danbo]

That's a sweet little knife.

 

[John Andrews]

VERY nice, Don!

 

[Don Cowles]

Thanks, folks!

Nice work again, Don. It sort of still looks like your other elegant personal knives anyway, but good of you to give credit to Jerry. I wouldn't have guessed it if you hadn't mentioned it. Jason.

I do believe I saw this one in person at Don's shop last weekend. He does great work and gave us all some good lessons. He makes it all look so easy.

Very nice work Don.
