I picked this up at a sale today. To my surprise, it’s a two part fishing tool. A knock out bat with a blade inside. I can’t find much info on it. Looks fairly old, knife is stainless steel. Anyone seen one of these before?
Thx! Bert

Is yours marked? Mine has no markings. Have had it for about 40 years.

Hi K7K,
No markings on mine either. I did see a couple of photos online that had Fish-K.O. Stamped on it. There was no mention of age, but it was claimed that these are extremely rare. Rare is generally great!
I was sure surprised when I found out it had a blade inside. I like it! Yours is in prime condition. Pretty cool!
