This is sort of a slightly more robust bird-n-trout by Matt Shaver, Wissahickon Knives called the Ringneck.
3 3/8" x 3/32" blade and 7 1/2" overall. There's enough handle there that if you got into a woodworking chore, like making up some tent stakes or a tripod, emergency shelter-building, etc., you'd not get all blistery. Intended as an everyday knife which is still up to the task if you get in a tight spot. Good ol' 1095 and birdseye maple with blue liners.
Sheath is mine. I rarely wear a knife on a belt, so my personal sheaths have a smaller loop for a baldric-type strap. This one just has a hole for the braided jute twine strap.
He up and quit making knives and I don't know if he'll ever start back. His work is excellent and he had quite a following - sold them as fast as he could make them. This one was a gift from him and I'd keep it even if it weren't amazing, but it IS amazing. It cuts and handles like my favored Mora 510s, but is sort of a super-classy version. Very fond of this knife.
My photos aren't great. This knife looks much better in person.
