No doubt this IS a bird knife

Comment by George R Naugle 22 hours ago

After much consideration and research, I am of the opinion that the hook on this knife is a button hook.  In long bygone days, lots of items had buttons, and a button hook was often used to close them.  Note the difference in shape of the hook as compared to the "gut hook" on a game knife.

Okay.  lets see if these pics stay...

regular bird knife - slim handle

More robust, but similar hook.

well phooey.  They showed up when I posted it...   But later, they were gone.

Let me get the picture and <save> them, instead of doing a copy/paste thing.

Can't see the photos, Kevin

Here are a couple of pics of bird knives.  One is more of a traditional design, showing a rather slim handle.

The other (beretta) is more robust, but has a hook more similar to yours.

That looks similar to a bird knife.  The hook has a bit more curvature than the ones I am used to seeing though.
