Case fish knife

[miked32]

Knife looks mint to me. I just can’t understand the hole on front side bottom bolster. Thought I would ask for your alls thoughts.

Thank you

That being a fishknife, do you suppose the hole might be to straighten a bent point on a hook. That would go along with the hook sharpener as being practical.

That was my first thoughts exactly. But just wasn’t sure.

Correct. It’s for straightening points on fish hooks.
