Sue, That's a lot of good info. I wish I could find an old catalog of when specifically this knife was made. Most of Voos knives were fancier gentleman's knives.
Voos fishing knife its larger than the others with a beer can opener which also acts as a thumb pressure for heavy cutting. I think its is aa employ's knife
