I did find one that had a similar blade tip, but the handle was square and straight.

I have seen square handles, octagon handles and only a couple of rounded ones (all were straight).

But yes. Seems like everything is real cheap.  I did not notice a brand sticking out though.

And for what it's worth - there must be just shy of a dozen of these Floating Fish knives on Ebay at the moment - all less than $25.00 - and they all look like they came from the same dumpster as yours originally came from. Needless to say they make what you did to yours even better!

Interestingly though, not one of them has a blade tip like yours. The rest of the blade is identical with the fish scaler spine and bottle opener notch, but none of them have that distinctive "Cheese Knife" tip yours is sporting. 

Many also perport to be Valor brand knives, but not one of them show any Valor branding, so it's hard to say really. 

All this to say again that while this may be lipstick on a pig - you have brought out the higher potential of an inexpensive (err, cheaply made) knife.You see a gem where others see a rock, and that's why I appreciate your art and craft so much.

Ha! I love it. Just think of it as another fantastic practice piece that is now priceless! No one on the open market could ever appreciate your skills and effort like we all do here at iKC. Profs to you bud!
