Comment by Tobias Gibson on May 30, 2015 at 8:06: My Buck Clearwater 021 Bait Knife. As bait knives go, this is a big one!

The serrated back doubles as a bone saw and scaler.

The knife rattles in the sheath but the knife locks in quite well.

Made in the USA Blade steel is 420HC. I'm thinking of also picking up the the Buck Silver Creek that is made in Japan using for 420J2 and putting them in a side by side test this summer.

Comment by Bryan OShaughnessy on May 26, 2015 at 8:41: Tobias: Thanks for the heads up on the knife and following a thread. I'll try to work the knife free as you recommend. Thanks again. --B

Comment by Tobias Gibson on May 26, 2015 at 8:25: Hi Bryan,

W hat you have is a one of the Wichards sailing knives. They make it with a single blade, a blade and shackler, and a third one with a marlinspike. I have the single blade type. They sell price new is in the $40 range which I find them pricey considering for the quality. The blade steel is 318L Stainless which is the steel used in butter knives, teaspoons, and stainless steel mixing bowls.

Yours is the Ref# 10052. (mine is a #10042)

My single blade seems to open okay. My guess is the blades on yours are pretty stiff from not being used much. I'd suggest repeatedly opening over and over and possibly rinsing the joints with scalding hot water for a while and then dousing it with a lot of WD-40 to get the water out. Some times it is just dust and gook that is causing the blades to be hard to open.

As for the discussions, the easiest way to find a discussion is click on the "View All" tab under Discussion Forum. The n just scan the list of all discussions.

The thread for fishing knives is at:

Below is my 10042, I found on eBay some time back. I've tried sharpening but it pretty much doesn't hold much of an edge. They should have given it a similar micro-serration found on Ginzu or Cutco steak knives.
