Quarter Horse, thank you for that link. I have been reading more about Maine State laws regarding knives. It has been really making me think more along the lines of a “hunting knife” like you are saying with your old Gerber. I have a Gerber Shorty which is the hunting version of your trout and bird knife, they are cool old knives for sure. The last few days I have been thinking about and looking at Mora knives to see what they offer. I may order a few different variations just to start testing out b/c they are so cheap. They bring a lot to the table with a ”soft” design in that they use rubber and soft plastic that is very smooth / rounded so they should carry well when running. Also the design lends to be less harmful if you happen to fall while carrying it. The blades are shaped in a way where they should be effective for penetration. They are extremely light weight, the basic is under 4 oz. Not to mention they offer a wide variety of colors that my daughter may like.
