Title: Remco 3 blade fishing knife
Post by: Noa Isumi on March 17, 2017, 08:41:05 PM: Here is an odd one I found digging in the junk bin at my favorite pawn shop.

The brand is Remco but nothing else. My google--fu skills have failed me on this one. I only foud one other that sold on ebay sometime ago for an unknown amount. The archive was on a a subscription appraisal sight that I wasn't going to sign up for.

So now the datils: large blade, fishscaler w/ bottle opener, and a gaff. Both the gaff and the knife have been tortured on a bench grinder to sharpen causing them to over heat as evidenced by the colors. The handles are that old style hard black plastic that used to be common on knives and straight razors.
