It's one of my 20.00$$ finds years ago , it's small , fits well in the hand and keeps a good edge , cleans game and fish just fine .
I could live without the serrations but they do work . I have a friend with a couple of BarkRivers but he's hounding me to sell him this one . My second carry is a Grohmann Bird & Trout 25.00$$ find , I like the style and fit but I find it a bit too thick ? for it's intended purpose . I might have save up a few $$ and order a flat grind bird & trout in carbon steel .

I've had a couple of older Pumas, they had great steel and heat treat and also had a great balance. I miss them...but not the ex that took them :)

This is the one I am using the most at the moment, its from an old car spring bit, hammered flat, with a horn handle. It seems to keep an edge pretty well.
 
Ouch ! That bites .

Yeah, she took several of my favorite bits but in the end the peace was worth it :)

I've seen some really good knives made from leaf springs. It's often 5160 which is a really durable steel that takes and holds an edge really well with a good heat treat.

Lately ive been using the BK2 I got for Christmas but I usually use either my Nordic Bear II or my Izula II. I really want to get my hands on a BCNW-01.
