I posted the utility/bird & Trout of the set in an earlier post and here is the completed set. Both pieces have forged in tapered tangs.

The B&T is forged from a piece of 5/16 round W-2. Blade is 3-1/2 inches of cutting edge and is 7-3/4 inches overall. Scales are ironwood burl.

The camp knife is forged form 1/4 1095. Blade is 6-1/2 inches long.Differentially heat treated with multiple temper lines. Bolsters are polished 416 stainless and the scales are Desert ironwood sculpted in a combat style grip with palm swell. Overall length is 11-1/2 inches.
Thanks for looking,
Chuck
