Once a man has lots and lots of pocketknives, and he’s got big hunting knives, sooner or later he’ll buy a small fixed blade knife usually marketed as a “bird and trout” knife. Essentially they are small hunting knives, sold to aspiring gentlemen bird hunters and fly fishermen.

My Case Bird and Trout has been gathering dust in a drawer now for thirty years and my Browning 210 for forty. I also have a Solingen made Weidmannsheil example.

But I just could not resist this $17 half size copy of a Blackjack Classic Hunter BJ067. This little guy is a half size version of my best hunting knife. The USA made ones are of mystery steel too, likely A2.

What is that extra loop on the sheath for?

I likely won’t use this for birds or trout but it should make a very good pork steak cutter at deer camp.:)

Ooh, I like that... where'd you get it? Great blade shape, I'd vote that all knives have a finger choil/ricasso area like that...at the international knife congress. Regarding the loop; as a consummate knife addict, I have no idea. Very weird.

edit: nevermind, got one. haha. I'll let you know what I think of weirdo loop.
