"Bunny" knives go back to early 1900's when rabbits had over run Australia and Australians were encouraged to eat the problem. The Bunny knife was designed as the perfect tool to bring the bunny from field to table. They were manufactured in Sheffield (Jos. Rodgers) and Solingen (Boker & Olbertz) and exported to Australia. As far as i know they were never imported into USA.
3 3/8"; Jos. Rodgers, Friedr. Olbertz, & Henry Boker, Germany; all have excellent W&T and zero play.
The toothpick in the Boker is a replacement.
$140 shipped.

What a plague of rabbits. You can see why the Bunny knives were needed.
