Sorry being very new to the game I could be using an incorrect description for this type of utility knife. However it was designed as a fishing knife for someone and I called it a Fish & Trout as that is the name given to the Easter knife show competion category run here every year for this type of knife, I quote from their competion reg's.
"6. Bird & Trout
Traditionally fixed blades, intended for specialised and delicate cutting tasks such as dressing birds or small game, dressing and filleting fish and camping.
- Blade must be slender, providing sufficient cutting edge for filleting, yet not be of a length which would inhibit controllability.
- Sharp point and durable cutting edge required for precision cutting tasks.
- Blade must be stain resistant and handle material must be durable and water resistant.
- Especially when intended for specialist use by trout fishing enthusiasts, elaborate levels of finish, scrimshanding or engraving are not uncommon and can be most enhancing."
To be honest it was the only description I have yet to find for a fishing knife, if there is a another more recognized name for this typoe I would welcome and be grateful for the information.
It is only by making mistakes and some kind person pointing them out that we learn
