Doesn't have to be a drop point knife Hunter, just a small knife for cleaning Quail, doves or 8" trout. I believe I'm making mine from an old Nicholson file and will put a small false edge and thin upswept spear point for doing small animals like squirrels. I miss quail hunting, I hunted mountain quail in my youth in the mountains of CA. They were very tasty. I especially miss goose hunting which is about the biggest animal you'd clean with a B & T knife. That ought to cover what a Bird and Trout Knife is for. If you have ever cleaned squirrels or doves you get the picture.
