the knife has a saw for cleaning fish and a blade the blade is 3 inch of cutting surface the steel is s-751 stainless
the handle length is 4 and a quarter and the overall is 7 and a half
it is a Texas toothpick style with yellow handle and nickel bolster on the handle it has a sharpening stone for hooks
it also has brass liners
overall it seem very good and fit and finish is very good i would pick it over a identical case blade

so does anyone know what the name of it is or how much it is worth thanks you for your time.
 
That would be a Western fishing knife or "fishin' knife". Fishing knife is really what it's called. That's not a saw on it, it's a fish scaler, most likely with a notch on the end for removing hooks. The ones with the inset hook sharpener were saught after more than the standard ones.
A friendly warning- registered users cannot ask about values.
Welcome to the forum!
 
It's just called a fishing knife, it's not a saw it 's a fish scaler with a hook disgorger on the end, I have an old imperial that I've had for about 32years, and a old hammer brand that I picked up for seven bucks at a flea market.
 
Yup, all correct. I collect Fish knives. Have a bunch, but not a western. Great knives. Take an old Imperial USA every time I fish.
 
Well, since everyone is asking questions - Does it have a fish hook straightener in the end cap? If there's an itty bitty hole in the end cap, that's it.

Hello,
Unfortunately, registered members are not allowed to ask value.

It appears you've got the rest of the info you were requesting, so I'm going to close this thread.
