Small Hunting Knives
Presentations small hunting knives drawn and constructive criticism welcome! Let us avoid self-congratulation . . and specify our point of view positive or negative, thank you. The Bird & Trout, "common name across the Atlantic, is a small hunting knife, suitable for small game (birds and trout . . ), which lends itself well to these new directions. I love these knives light, simple and thin. You have forged 90MCV8 or you're gone just a flat 1. 5 by applying a convex bevel?. Thank you! The blade is simply cut from a flat 2 mm thick. On dimensions as small, there is little interest in forging, the gain in toughness sought on large strips of no use here. As a hunter and fisherman, I can only applaud this fine achievement for its part effectively in the field, light, very sharp, without warning more than anything else that interferes in the work . . Briefly, the ideal in terms of utility. One reservation on the name, "Trout and Bird" which is normally reserved for blades with integral ring at the end of the silk, and sharpened blade, but very short. Originally, a locksmith is bankrupt in the 19th United States, which had recycled its large stock of key from Europe, re-forging faults in blades, to the delight of fishermen and hunters of small hunting knives game, may well put the bait, cut the wire to incise déboyauter, passing a finger through the ring and dangling the blade, thus avoiding the ground without stopping to ask their knife . . Over time, it is nevertheless true that small hunting knives blades are sometimes wrongly named "Trout and Bird" . . Very true, indeed today is produced industrially these small hunting knives knife whose handle is shaped like a big key to the former. But actually, as you point out, the term "Trout & Bird" (or "Trout & Bird") is now used for a variety of small knives, some straight blade like the one I presented, other leaf so thin and curved knife thread, the only commonality being the small size, maneuverability, quality of cut. Instead of the ring, then used a bystander to the establishment of a strap to keep the knife to the wrist. In this case, I have chosen to overlook this aspect that I find unattractive, while useful. I changed the pictures of the first message. The news is a bit more accurate, though this knife with a large color contrast between blade and handle is particularly difficult to photograph . . Congratulations on this knife. I love the sleek but "class", the size I like it. I'm new and this is the kind of knife that would interest me to begin, but I wonder about certain technical terms and having a term Ricasso, and I wanted to know the style of quenching on a thin blade like this . The Ricasso is part of the blade between the handle and the start of the bevel (ie the beginning of the edge). . . .
