Thanks for posting that link! I remember when reading it that it brought back a TON of memories of me being out in the woods. I had a Western brand bird and trout, which couldn't be told from the CASE back in the mid 60s, and it went with me every time I hit the woods as a kiddo. No so many trout down here in S. Texas, but plenty of crappie and catfish in the creeks and rivers at that time. Plenty for youngster with a Zebco set up and a metal lunch box with astronauts on it as a tackle box to have a blast.
No telling how many fish and how much small game that thing cleaned, and when I got older I carried it out when hunting bigger game, too. I kept it as my scalpel to clean up quail and for the finer aspects of cleaning up bigger game.
Soooooo much utility is a well made B&T knife. Looking at that post makes me think I need another one of those!

Ya bet! Good times, my latest a California Golden trout hybrid:
