Trout Knife

[Joe Calton]

Just finished this one! Same pattern as my turkey knives, but with a micarta handle since they will be used around alot of water. And the creeks are starting to thaw a bit!


OAL- 7 1/4"
blade- 3 1/4" long, .125" thick, 11/16" wide at the guard
steel- Aldo's high carbon 0-1, with in-house differential heat treatment
grind- a full convex grind, with distal taper
finish-etched 600 grit finish
handle-black linen micarta with red spacer
guard- 1/4" brass and 1/8" brass pins
sheath- 10oz leather, hand stitched, hand tooled, hot-waxed, with cam, for "snap fit", 3 copper rivets for belt loop
blade fully tested for edge retention and tip strenth before finishing


$110 plus $10 shipping/insurance to CONUS. I can accept paypal Joe357m@bresnan.net or money order.

First one to post "I'll take it" gets it!!!







Feedback appreciated, and thanks for looking!

That red spacer is a nice touch - you're always losing things on a boat and this will make the dropped knife stand out.

very nice, if you do one with natural micarta and a lanyard hole so she doesn't go overboard, I would be all over it

Joe,

That is a fantastic little knife. Perfect for birds too. I like the comfy looking guard and nice handle.
