This high performance bird & trout is sure to become a 'goto' knife -- both in the kitchen and when out fishing and hunting. This beautiful knife is the right tool for two key tasks — boning and filleting. When boning, the narrow, sharp blade gets in close to the bone, making it easy to separate meat from bone. The extremely sharp edge even cuts through fibrous material with ease. It’s perfect for trimming the silverskin from a tenderloin or even making your own cutlets. The narrow blade reduces drag as you cut against the meat, so cutting is fast and easy. When it comes to filleting fish, the blade's 4-1/4 inch length is just right to glide through the body of the fish, quickly removing bones and skin. The stiff knife makes it easy to keep track of the tip even when slicing through meats.
The blade is high performing 80CrV2 carbon steel with an antiqued finish. Because this knife is made from carbon steel, it needs to be oiled and dried before being put away. We recommend using camellia oil to oil the blade and tang.
The handle is stabilized maple burl secured to the full tang using two brass pins. The domed scales are extremely comfortable and are carved to accommodate a pinch grip. Like other knives, this knife should not be put in the dishwasher.
To keep the knife close at hand, a hand stitched pouch style leather sheath is included.
Excellent work throughout!
