A compact and sturdy 440C Fish Knife designed to fit easily into most tackle boxes or be worn on the belt without encumbering the wearer's perfect cast. The handle scales are black Canvas Micarta® with stainless steel pins. The fitted fold-over sheath is carved with a Dunkleosteus, a prehistoric fish that was the size of a bus, to keep you inspired at your sport. The blade is quite rigid, unlike most fillet knives, and is designed to make the strait, hard, bone-cutting cuts necessary when butchering larger fish such as salmon, halibut, rockfish, sturgeon, or "dunkys".
Blade: 6" Overall: 10+1/2" Thickness: 3/16" Comes razor sharp in hand made leather sheath.

The story: Well, I made two of these fish knife blades in the shop, the first one to be finished had a pinkish maple handle that seemed appropriate to a rainbow trout, so I carved one on the sheath. It was well received and sold right away.

That summer I caught rainbows like gangbusters and could hardly keep 'em off my line! By the end of the season, however, I had grown jaded to these agile, but small sport fish. I decided then and there that the quest for a bigger fish started now: I added these very heavy-duty, nearly indestructible, black Micarta® handle scales on fish knife number two and (optimistically perhaps) carved the likeness of the terrifying Dunkleosteus, a 33 foot long, four ton armored fish from the devonian period about 380 million years ago, on the sheath. I haven't caught one... yet... but then, I didn't start catching rainbow trout until the first knife sold. Help a poor, bored fisherman out and I'll promise to save you a "dunky" fillet when I finally land that monster (unless it eats me first)! ;)
