Great little knife.
Love the finger ring. Great for dangling from your little finger while processing fish or small game.
Much easier to clean than folding knives.

Cold Steel's Bird & Trout knife is a compact, purpose-built tool designed for precision tasks in the field. Crafted from Japanese AUS-8A stainless steel with a bead-blast finish, it offers a razor-sharp 2.25-inch spear point blade that's ideal for detailed work like cleaning fish, dressing game, or handling fine camp chores. The slim, skeletonized frame keeps weight to a minimum—just 0.8 ounces—without sacrificing strength or control.
The handle is a continuation of the blade itself, forming a one-piece stainless steel construction that ensures durability and balance. An integrated finger ring allows the knife to hang from your finger when not in use, keeping it instantly accessible without the need to sheath and unsheath repeatedly. This design is especially useful when working in wet or cold conditions where dexterity matters.
Each Bird & Trout comes with a lightweight Secure-Ex neck sheath and bead chain lanyard, offering multiple carry options. Whether worn around the neck, clipped to gear, or stowed in a pack, the knife stays secure and ready for action. The sheath is Tek Lok compatible, giving you flexibility in how you carry it—on your belt, vest, or pack strap.
This knife is a modern take on a century-old classic, favored by hunters, anglers, and outdoorsmen who demand reliability without bulk. Its minimalist design and practical features make it a go-to tool for those who value efficiency and readiness in the wild.
