Fish knife with gaff hook?!!?

ea42 · Sep 21, 2006

I was thumbing through a guys feedback items (he worked at Schrade) to see what kind of knives he had sold when I came across this number>>

He said it may have been a proto, but wasn't sure, anyone see anything like it before?

LT has. I think he posted here about it, and may have indeed bought this one. The gaff knives were the real deal, but if I am remembering correctly, he said they never came with this handle, and someone must have rehandled it with covers from another model.

Well in that case I'll throw up a few more photos. These are all he had up. He mentioned that the tang was only stamped stainless, USA, and put it side by side with an old and slightly used Schrade Walden fish knife, with Uncle Henry scales, but minus the gaff for comparison. The knife sold for $180.

Keep in mind that they are illegal to use in many jurisdictions.

A gaff is used to drag heavy &/or toothy fish into the boat or onto shore.
