Beautiful knife and a very useful pattern. Mine is one of my most used knives.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Pretty safe to assume that is a #4 B and T.

Thanks gents. Thread started a while back and this was the first time I really took this one out. I think the bird and trout style is a great do all for how I use a knife.

Excellent knife and great pics.
My #1 B&T from Gene is one of my most used knives
I still need to get one with Westy scales though.

Love this knife - but one comment - the upswept tip makes gutting different as my normal knife position - upside down guided between my first two fingers of my left hand - kept causing the knife to go a bit deeper than I wanted. Something to keep in mind as it is my first knife of this style.

Something to keep in mind as it is my first knife of this style. Is it actually upswept? They Ingram B&T's look like they have a straight back design to me.

Trout,
When I was deciding, it was down to the small boner and this knife. In email, Gene said, "the boner is a straight and slightly dropped point blade, and the B&T has a bit of up sweep or trailing point."
I've read of someone on here getting a #4 with no sweep, but cannot recall who.
I absolutely love the knife, just something about this pattern that I thought was worth mentioning.

Thanks for the reply. I have a #1 B&T coming hopefully at the end of the week. I didn't realize they had a slight trailing point. I will have to get use to it.
