Greetings All,

More than ten years ago I saw a photo of a Peter Del Raso bird & trout knife which provided me the inspiration for this one. At the time I drew something up and put the pattern on the wall - this pattern just fit in a piece of AEB-L I had laying around. All comments welcome - thanks Peter - much respect. :)


.193" AEB-L Stock
HT to Rc 60-61
7 5/8" OAL
3 5/8" Hollow ground blade
Mirror finish
Pinned/soldered guard
Amber jigged bone scales
Black liners on tapered tang
Stainless fittings
Radiused clip
Thumb serration on spine
RH deerskin lined sheath

Super nice! I got my first bird and trout knife about a week ago. Not as fancy as yours, but a great size and super functional. Nice work! 1689347404617.jpeg
 
Great job TK. I have watched you over the years, and you just keep on knockin' them out of the park.
 
T.K. Steingass, I was just introduced to your work, as I'm mostly a folder guy, and everything I've seen is great! One question: Did you make only one of the Kwaiken? Thanks for your service and your continued work!
