Grohmann #4 Survival Knife

I have the #2 trout and bird, flat grind, carbon steel. It is one of my main outdoor knife. Trout and bird maybe but works just fine on White tail deer, Moose and Black Bear. As well as tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, hotdog/marshmallow sticks, anything else a camp outdoor knife needs to do. If your splitting wood get an axe. ;)
 
This is a great knife. Sorry to pile on the necro-thread, but I'm glad it popped up: I never knew they super-sized the standard Canadian Belt Knife.

You guys realize this thread is 17.5 years old? 🧟‍♀️

Honest question not trying to start anything.
If you revive an old thread (okay 17 may be a bit excessive) someone always chimes in with this is a zombie thread. Yet, if you post about something that has been covered in the past, someone always gives you a list of similar threads going back to when Al Gore invented the internet.
What is expectable etiquette?

I believe reviving an old thread is welcome if a person has something meaningful to contribute to that specific conversation.

More meaningful, for instance, than "oh wow! I like those too!"

Perhaps there was a question posed that nobody had the answer to and you figured it out - I'd say revive that zombie thread!

However, especially in light of the fact that many old threads are more confusing than helpful given their propensity for broken links, if what a person intends to post is not specifically adding pertinent information to the conversation in that thread, then perhaps it makes more sense to start a new one.

Mods may see it different, but that's my take.
 
This particular revival was I feel very welcome, the contributor B blueswan16 had something to say about his actual experiences with knives and compared them favourably to a very much more expensive brand, this adds to knowledge and opened the door to discussion about Grohmann- an underrated manufacturer in some peoples' eyes. So what if a thread is old ? If people can inject new life into it, add relevant comments about the knives plus newer pictures that's what a Forum is for. The poster is a very new member and it would be wrong to put him off by crying necromancy incautiously. The age of a thread is somewhat irrelevant, the content vital. There are threads that are chock a block with repetitions, multi quotes, thanks for your thanks, for your thanks, thanks ABC, or full of non knife content about daily trivia but they are not frowned upon.

Certainly, if a thread has been done to death, or if people add to it irrelevantly, or want to boost post counts then necromancy is wrong, in this case I feel it is not.

Funny you can't delete yourself by saving a blank, but you can save one dot.
I was going to comment on the similarity I see between the Grohmann #4's blade and the Tops Brush Wolf's blade, but who cares?
Shouldn't leave a latest post empty, though.
Here's my Grohmann. I got the saber stainless because that's what the river site had when I decided to get one, and during the lockdown shipping from Canada was guaranteed for someday maybe.

Grohmann must have given considerable thought to handling & ergonomics when designing & making their knives, the Trout & Bird is excellent in the hand, precise, reassuring, thick slabs give the otherwise narrow handle a lot of comfort. The finish and edge are both very high quality, a first-rate general purpose outdoor knife, mine has been on car trips across Europe and proved ideal. They clearly make a good quality decent knife that is very different and distinctive.
