The gaff knife is one of the more unusual knives one would find in an old tackle box.

Yep. The one below looks like the one I saw made by Imperial.   The box says Sears Roebuck & Co.  So if Sears sold them they had to have been fairly popular at one time!

Hey ,I just found out that there is a species of trout called the bannana trout sure am glad that i have a gaff knife so ill be able to land it! Now to find a fly  to attract this bananna trout hope my tippet is strong enough!!!!!!

Steve it is very uncomfortable to use the other two blades when the hook is folded in the handle.  i think this is why it never caught on.  Plus most gaffs are much longer.  I've seen folding gaffs and they are still around but it seems most people shout "get the net" these days instead of hand me the "gaff".   I don't think a gaff hook is very humane in the world of catch and release!

Still it is real handy when you need to land the wily banana trout!
