Trout- I’m real sure. I didn’t really have a need for this one. I just really liked the look of the pattern. It feels great in the hand. Love the look and feel, it’s a bit bigger than what I’m use too. Not sure what I plan to do with it. Probably just see kitchen duty lol
The skipjack is my favorite May. But after dismembering a few critters with it, I decided I didn't like the slight upsweep. So I ground the spine into a slight drop point. Love it now, but mine is green canvas and no where near as purty as your'un.....
Yours on the bear trap is the first time I saw the skipjack. Which is what got my wheels turning on one. Pretty is as pretty does. I like the green canvas. Especially on a working knife. I kinda knew this one wasn’t gonna see much use outside the house lol.
Have had one for about 4 years now, it has been my go to blade for taking apart and elk, from the bush to the butchering. I suspect you will like yours, a lot!
