The 'Ardmair' Bird & Trout - Maple Burl
The 'Ardmair' - sleek, refined and elegant. This classic Bird & Trout knife, new for 2025, is an evolution of the beloved 'JBT' design.
Crafted in Elmax stainless steel - a high performance powder metallurgy steel from Uddeholm (Sweden) that gives superior edge retention. The Ardmair features a full-tang construction with intricate filework along the spine. Its handle is crafted from stabilized Maple Burl, set behind a stabilized Hornbeam bolster. Through the stabilization process, the wood is infused with a highly durable resin, making it exceptionally resistant to warping, cracking, and moisture while significantly enhancing its durability compared to natural wood. Finishing touches include fiber liners, a mosaic pin, and a custom-fitted leather sheath with toolwork, completing this finely crafted field companion.
