Everyone should have a fixed blade knife like the Birch River from Battle Horse Knives. EVERYONE! First of all, it's an excellent bird and trout style knife, perfect for fishing and small game. The thing that makes a bird and trout blade extra useful is its ability to switch roles easily. Need a paring knife? General food prep? Wood carving? Here! Take a Birch River and go to town. It's slender, sharp, and has a pronounced sharp point that's perfect for getting in there for little fiddly work, like removing fishbones and the like. The O1 steel is tough, and the handle is grippy. So, if you love the woods and fishing but don't get there as often as you like, the knife doesn't hang around in its sheath until you manage to get away. Use it for everything until you get the chance to put this small bushcrafter through its paces where you both were meant to be.
