Man these little darlin's are sweet. I'll tell ya though, a 4" blade, 1" wide with a 4.5" handle would be perfection for me! keepem sharp

Joe, the blade on this one looks very similar to your Turkey knives. Is it ? or do you grind them thinner for fish ?

Longbow, I was just thinking of doing some bigger ones, if u want, u can pm me what your after and I can include it in the next batch.

Roland, these are off the same pattern as the turkey knives, about the same grind, maybe a bit thinner, but the blades don't have any flex to them dUring normal use. They are for walking a trout stream, trout where I fish are usually 14" and smaller and don't need filleting, just gutting, then build small fire and cook right on the streamside, maybe with a pot of rice. So this blade is just right for that with the micarta handle since it will see more water than the turkey knives.
