Little Bird and Trout- 80CrV2, stag, and filework

Here's a small game knife that was commissioned by an avid game bird hunter. It's very small, very thin and VERY sharp. I think the 80CrV2 is a really nice choice for this. It takes and holds a wicked edge and has the strength and toughness to support a really thin edge so it's a good slicer.

Another tough one to photograph.

This mostly wraps up a whole run of smaller, simpler knives for me. Now it's on to the big stuff.

Specs:
80CrV2 steel
6 7/8"overall w/ 2 7/8" of edge, .110" at the ricasso
Nice distal taper
"Twisted Steel" filework
Amber Stag scales
Gold plated screws (with 3 hidden alignment pins to keep everything in the same place every time)
