I have always loved the Bird and Trout Knife. I have been looking for my own unique design of this classic. I believe I have found it. Thank you for looking.

3/32 thick Random Ladder Damascus is Alabama Damascus By Brad Vice.
Grind is a Hollow Ground..
Cutting Edge is 3''.
Overall Length is 7''
Construction is Full Tang.
Handle is Turquoise Composite, with white liners, Two 1/8 Mosaic pins.




Warranty
I have a no non-sense Guarantee, you break it under normal use. I Promise I will fix or replace it as long as I am able to work in the shop. Plus if for any reason you are ever unhappy with it. Send it back to me for a "FULL REFUND" Because I don't make a knife I wouldn't love to own.

In addition to having produced a beautiful knife, I'll observe something else: That's an interesting portrait of your hand.

Working hands. Hands of the craft.

I have an extra measure of respect for that.

Jim,

No, I have not yet. I have a small stash of material on hand and I thought I would work through that first. I am still very slow, and on top of that time is a commodity in short supply. I am about two thirds of the way done with my 2nd real knife, which will be my sons.

I am half afraid to get any of Brad's material, for fear of screwing it up.

Jim,

That's one of the prettiest bird and trout knives I've seen. Nice treatment with the scale swooping away from the blade. Cries out for some fancy file work serving as control surface.

I like the design, although I'd like a higher grind. But it looks good to me, and coming up with your own design is a great feeling. Here is mine for comparison:
