It is 1095, differentially heat treated to around 61-62RC.

Thanks!

Me too Jack :thumbup: I enjoy the smaller fixed blades.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the GEC Farm & Field line of bird and fish knives.

Thanks!

You bet!

No one has shown an Outers pattern yet.

That was a WESTERN, and so are all these little ones. I would USE a BUCK 102, but these are fun.

I just finished this one. 3 inch blade of 1095 steel. African Blackwood scales.

I really like that one Lin. Such a great combination of textures, colors and overall design. The size is just right. This one is my kind of "ideal" Bird and Trout.

Thanks for sharing it here in the traditionals forum.

Does my Denning mini GM fit the bill?

Magnificently crafted, Lin!!! I like everything about it. Forged, pins, curly, finger guard (forged)....yowza:thumbup::thumbup:

Geno made a nice knife, he offered me a mini GM several years ago before he quit the business. Maybe he will return to knife making someday.

I always wanted a #7 Herron Bird & Trout...

Thank You and I agree; he made a very nice knife at a very good price. That particular Mini GM is the first one Geno made and from what he told me it is the first knife he ever marked Prototype. I wanted a small knife but didn't care for his Coonskinner - the Mini GM is what he came up with.

Here's one Mr. Herron made for my Dad many years ago. It is a copy of the one that was featured in SC Wildlife magazine. Sorry about the link, but I still haven't figured out how post the actual picture.

I know these are typically fixed blades, but this one does the job nicely and fits the category perfectly in all other aspects...

Just picked up this Herron Bird & Trout. This is the classic design that was from his catalog.
