Fish Knives by Tobias Gibson on June 17, 2013

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.

Both knives in a side by side comparison

    That is a beauty Tobias, is it a newer one, or do we know the production year?

    Hi Jan. It is a newer version. I believe the reverse tang is stamped 2013. SMKW likes to use older tang stamps on some of their SFOs but normally have a date stamp to keep the re-sellers honest.

    I bought this one via Ebay's MVP- knives (better known as Kevin Pipes, owner of SMKW). It was sold as NIB, new in the box.

    Well there are so many places to post pictures.

    I posted my fish knives over at Knives of the Great Outdoors/Pictures of Fishers, Scouts,Campers, Sailors and Hobos.

    So if you would look over there you can see a few of mine.

    I posted a Western, a L.L. Bean and some others.

    Have enjoyed looking.

    Thanks
