Remember going to the Bait/Tackle shop and seeing a card of 12 five inch fish knives for sell for about $1.25? The tang stamp just said USA. Now they are going on the Web for $10.00! My guess is most of these fell apart or fell overboard after a season or two of fishing. A word of advice: If you have one and want to scale a fish with it, keep the blade closed! If you don't you will wind up with a whole lot of blade wobble!
