 Always there. Often enough.Nov 08, 2008
By Saint Richard
The CS B&T is small but quite functional. It is about six & a half inches overall, weighs about one ounce and the sharp part is not quite two and a half inches. So this knife is not intended for heavy work. But it is surprising how much "camp", "survival" or "bush-craft" style work the CS B&T IS good for. With it, you can cut saplings for shelter building, notch tent-pegs, whittle a trigger for a snare, make fuzz-sticks for fire-starting or gut & clean fish / small game.
I am not saying that the CS B&T is the best possible knife for these tasks. Obviously, some of them would be more easily done with a Ka-Bar or Becker Brute. Cutting saplings, for example, will take some time and patience. But you can get the job done and - unlike the "wire saws" sometimes recommended for this kind of work - the CS B&T won't break half way through the job. The point is that you can make do with it and it is small enough to keep with you.
The size and unique design of the CS B&T are its beauty. The CS B&T is always there, easily accessible, instantly. You don't have to dig in pockets, fumble around with opening a sheath, or open the blade. It is just there, available to either hand. Slip your fourth finger through that loop, pull it from its sheath, and you are ready to go to work. Unlike most small knives you don't have to worry about being able to securely hold onto it. It virtually attaches itself to your hand and will not slip while you are working with it. Nor will it fold up on you - ever.
Snugged into its "Kydex" blade sheath on a neck lanyard, the CS B&T makes a nice central "jewel" in a "survival necklace" that I often wear. The blade sheath comes supplied with a beaded stainless steel chain for a "lanyard" (nice). I have replaced this with a doubled and whip-knotted length of 550 cord (about 10 feet total). Also attached are a split ring with Fox 40 whistle, Photon Freedom LED light, and Spark Lite flint wheel with four Tinder Quick fire-tabs (secured under a broad-cut "ranger band" cut from a bike tube). See my uploaded product images. The total weight is about 3 oz.
I live in a rural (some might say wilderness) area and carry a good knife plus multi-tool when headed out the back door. But even with those along, I often reach for the CS B&T first. And in many cases, it proves to be enough. I suspect that if you get one your experience will be the same.
On top of all else, this is a great little knife for the money. Cold Steel makes quality stuff.

 Cold Steel Bird and Trout Knife ReviewJun 09, 2009
By Old Tech
"deep in the heart of Texas"
I was very happy with this knife when I first purchased it from Amazon, however there is one large problem with this little knife - it comes out of it's sheath on it's own when I am bending and lifting stuff. It is dangerous to have a sharp blade sliding down your abdomen under your shirt, what if you don't notice and bend over at just the wrong time?
I bought this to wear all the time so it would always be handy - I won't wear it at all now until I figure out a way to keep it from popping out.
It is a great idea, and a fine little knife. Super lightweight so you hardly notice it when you're wearing it, but it needs a positive retention mechanism to make it safe to wear when working.
Example: Today I was restocking shelves and handling boxes of canned goods - I had forgotten all about the little knife until it fell down my shirt an clattered at my feet - I assume I must have balanced a box against my chest and that dragged against the knife and freed it from it's sheath.
Be aware of that before you purchase this item.

I don't hunt birds OR fish, but I love this knife!Sep 20, 2010

"A tinkerer with a tinkering habit"
Yeah, I read the name, but I also read Cold Steel for a really good price. How can you go wrong? I submit that you canNOT. Okay, so it's tough, even though it's small. It feels like you could use it as a pry bar. It had a fair edge out of the box, but now that I've spent some time on it, it is approaching surgical sharp. No kidding! The loop is big enough to fit even my stubby little fingers, though really, it seems just as solid to hold the ring in your palm instead of putting your pinky in it. The Concealex sheath is indestructible and the blade snaps in very positively. I don't see this ever becoming loose.
I got it as a smaller knife that would be easy to keep on me, even when I didn't want to carry a small folder. In camp, you can just hang it on your neck and it's always in easy reach when you don't need your whompin', tree-choppin' knife. It's so small and light you can carry it just about anywhere and stash it anywhere you need a small blade on short notice. I'm looking forward to doing some whittling with it, too. I think it will work nicely for that. All-in-all, I think it feels awesome in my hand, and it's the perfect size for the smaller work I bought it for.
Edit: After using this awhile it has become one of my top 3 favorite knives. I bought 2 more for my sons. Holds a great edge and is just so convenient any time you might need a small blade easy to reach with one hand. I wear it any time I'm accomplishing things around the house.
