Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I'm not sure if there is a discussion already or not but show 'em if you got 'em.  Let's see you fishing knives, as in the tools of the tackle box! (Folding, fixed, multi-tools, etc.)

Here's a few of my latest finds. What made them interesting is the bale.

Above knife is made by Sabre (Japan)  It features yellow comp handles and is just over 5 inches closed.  Below is another Japanese made knife. It features the infamous "cracked Ice" plastic pearl handles.  I couldn't pass it up for $9  simply because of the scissors and the bale. It is 4 inches closed.

And a couple more of fine looking fish knives, this time by Ocoee River, a Frost brand.  But don't let that scare you.  These are worth the $15-$20 you'll spend for them!

The Ocoee's Fish Knives are on a 4.5 inch (114mm) frames.  They are both affordable and nice looking.  You can get three of these Ocoee Rivers for the price of the Case Fish Knife w/ Lure and two for the price of the Yellow Comp Case w/o Lure. 

These are 1/4 inch longer than the Case.  However, the blades are a tad thinner which may not be that big of deal when gutting fish!   The Ocoee's come in more varieties than the Case Fish-Knives.  Overall I'm impressed with their quality for the price you pay for them.  I'll probably pick up a few more in other handle materials.  O good knife to use without guilt and a great knife to give as gifts!

and the shields used on the knives by Frost were definitely a contributing factor in my purchases!

GEC Fish Scale Acrylic.440C SS.

That GEC Fishtail is awesome!  Thanks for sharing!

another off the beaten path fish-knife, this time one of those floating cork knives.  This one is made by Lunawerks in Solingen, Germany and features a Gaff hook.  It needs some repair but it'll do for decorations!  What i can tell you is it might float but it isn't the easiest thing to grip and use.  I'm stunned by its looks because it really does seem to have some stories about it!

Just recently acquired this "Black Angus" Fish Knife.  The Knife was marketed by the Vernon Company in Newton Iowa.  Vernon is a promotional company.   The knife appears to be a mint knife that was kept in someone desk or clothes drawer since about 1970!     The box is rough shape but everything else, including the vinyl sheath looks like it never saw the light of day.

 Paid around $11.00 (including shipping) on Ebay.  Thing is razor sharp and well made.  The styling reminds me of the interior of 1970  power boat interior.

Nice one Tobias! I think they were made in Japan by Vernco. If so, you're right about being 1970's. They are good quality knives from what I've seen.

Congrats and great find.

you are correct, Rob.  The blade etch reads Vernco / HI-CV /  Stainless /Japan  / Hand Honed

I assume that Vernon Company and Vernco are one in the same

Great find Tobias.

Tobias that Vernon is just spectacular!

Here is a fish knife on yet another frame.  This Romo from Japan is on a lockback frame.  The lock is on the main blade.  The handles on each side are one solid piece with the bolsters and are brass with wood inlay.  There is also a brass spacer between the blades.  The blades themselves are stainless.  The knife is 4 inches long with a 3 7/8" clip point blade and a 2 5/8" scaler/disgorger/cap lifter.  The main blade is etched Wildnerness K-12.

That romo is really sweet, Charles.  I like it!
