The fish shield on this Imperial fish knife with the vertical USA is kind of nice for a cheaper shell handled knife. Good detail to even see the eye.

Two very cool shields 8). Somehow I missed seeing these last January. You really have a knack for finding some of the most unique and interesting knives, Skip; I always enjoy looking at your posts. ::tu::

I dig the fish! The fine detail is outstanding. A shield like that is almost enough to make me forget my aversion to shell handles ::undecided::.

Thanks Skip, I really liked the shield and stag when I saw it and being a whittler sealed the deal. I got it for what seemed a very fair price too so I was excited.
