Older white or yellow handled Fish Knife
When I was a kid I bought my own 1st knife...a folding 2 blade (toothpick and fish scaler/bottle opener) I got it at KMart It had white handles (Bone or faux Ivory or ???) and was of decent quality...keep in mind it was 43 years ago and I paid $12 hard earned dollars (Birthday $$ and yard work for neighbors). Mom caught me throwing it in the yard, sticking it in the ground and she took it as punishment...never got the knife back and never got the $12 bucks.
I want to replace that knife...not looking for new....but don't want worn out either.

Timeframe and price sounds like a middle of the road knife.
Probably yellow handled. Just a guess, but maybe a Camillus, Kabar or Robeson. They would've been likely candidates back around then.

That's a nice old knife, for the price

Got me scramblin' to see how much money i've got in my PayPal account!
Not to split hairs, but I believe that knife predates the OP's knife by about 30 years. Great old TP/Fish knife!

Re: Older white or yellow handled Fish Knife
Sorry gang I was out of touch this weekend. I don't remember what brand or maker it was. I chose it because it looked like a canoe and that it was a duel duty (cutting and scaling) and it was the biggest pocket knife in the case.
It did indeed look just like that Ulster....it was likely newer vintage...but given that I don't have any more specific info...that one may work, or one like it...

Re: Older white or yellow handled Fish Knife
I just put a modest bid on that one, but if you're wanting a yellow fishing knife of about 5 1/2" to 6 " in length, let me know. I'm pretty sure I have a couple laying around for a reasonable price.
