MD Edgeworks Bird & Trout - Desert Ironwood - Stonewashed 52100 Blade

52100 Fixed Blade with Desert Ironwood Handle

The MD Edgeworks Bird & Trout is a specialized fillet knife designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who need to process fish in the field. The compact size and lightweight construction make it ideal for backpacking trips or day hikes where you might need to clean your catch.

Blade

The 3.25" blade uses 52100 ball bearing steel at 0.165" thick. 52100 is an American steel known for its balance of toughness and edge retention. It's slightly harder than 1095 but maintains good corrosion resistance with proper care. The stonewashed finish helps hide scratches and adds a subtle texture for grip. The blade shape is optimized for filleting with a moderate belly curve and thick spine for durability.

Handle

Desert Ironwood scales provide a warm, natural grip with excellent texture for wet conditions. Ironwood is a dense hardwood that won't absorb water or become slippery when wet. The 4.25" handle keeps the overall length at 7.5" and the total weight at 4.37oz - light enough for all-day use but substantial enough to feel solid in hand.

Carry

The knife comes with a leather sheath designed to protect the edge and keep the knife secure during transport. The sheath includes a belt loop for easy carry.

This is a specialized tool for anglers who need to process fish in the field. The compact size and lightweight construction make it ideal for backpacking trips or day hikes where you might need to clean your catch.
