Thanks! It is a personal favorite of mine made by my friend David Mary David Mary called the "Bird 'n Shark." It is a modified version of his bird and trout knife dubbed the "Bird in Trouble" - the only difference is that mine has a longer blade (about 3.5") and maybe a slightly longer handle.

Bird in Trouble

This is a slightly broader bladed version of a bird & trout design that was requested previously by a customer. The original had an aggressive pinky hook that may have worked well for smaller hand and certain grip types, but I found it constrictive, and I have a bias towards more neutral handles anyway. Combine that will my love for thin geometry, and it was just natural that I would make the blade a bit taller to allow that geometry to be spread out over more steel, allowing for a slightly more gradual taper from the spin to the edge for increased slicing...

I initially asked him to add a top quillon which resembled a dorsal fin (hence the "shark" moniker), but thankfully he talked me out of it. The handle material is "Brook Trout" micarta made by G.L. Hansen & Sons - I thought it fitting for a bird and trout type knife. David used some of the leftover micarta to make a matching knife for my daughter (this one is the "Bittyrang").

I don't think I've ever been so excited to see my mail lady. She particularly liked the Bittyrang.
