Finally found one.............
Nothing special;just a humorous little fish scaler/paring knife combination I've seen many times but for some reason never one for sale. Found this one at a garage sale for $2. Etched,"Veri-Sharp" and that is no exaggeration.

That's pretty slick. Never seen anything like it. How long had you been searching for one of these? And who made them?

Re: Finally found one.............
Very cool! I see that it is marked Fish-Master, Made In USA and has a patent #. It should be semi easy to search for info on this knife.

It's always important to know what you don't know.

I saw one of them quite a few years ago and thought they were unique which is what I like to collect now.When you remove the knife from the holder,it acts as a fish scaler due to the roughness of the bottom of the handle.Don't know how well it works;most fish scalers are pretty much useless anyway. It's easier just to fillet them.

Enter the patent number into Google patents. You get all the info including the drawings

I’m intrigued by its other functions. The lower lip and mouth look like a staple remover. I’m also surprised it doesn’t have a bottle opener.

Veri-Sharp was one of Imperial's trademarks used on kitchen cutlery. Somewhere I've got a Fish-Master that still has the Imperial etch on it. If I can dig it up I'll post a pic. I also remember finding it in an old catalog from the late 50s - maybe early 60s.
