WOW! It could be it! I really think I see Bizon.. and maybe now the word above it says "Mexico by" even though it looks like "mexico do".. crazy. So this could be a custom knife by Fred Bizon. Very interesting!! Thank you so much! Is there any where to read about Fred Bizon?

There really isn't much on him, except that he was an American ex-pat that lived in one of the border towns in Mexico. Most know of his work because he had a contract with Abercrombie and Fitch during the 60's. He also made some fighting knives during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Active years seem to to be 50's - 70's.

I’ve watched a few magnet fishing videos before and looks fun. Never know what you can find. If you find any other cool knives or axes please post them up. I’m sure the creeks around me are littered with fishing knives. Lol. We get people from all over coming here to fish. Good luck and happy fishing!

Fascinating. Perhaps a Canadian Vietnam vet had this knife. Amazing how you can make something that ends up in another part of the world get's lost for maybe 60 years and then some Sludge Pirate saves your work from complete oblivion with his magnet. What Incredible luck.
 
Perhaps it was lost in a boating accident.

Very common. I've lost several firearms in such a fashion.

I just watched Best Catches Vol #5, and enjoyed watching. My younger brother does this now and again. What a fun hobby!

Find some more knives that we can ogle!
