Perch knife

That thing will split hair! Iused to use it under a microscope. One wrong move and you could bleed to death!

 

We actually used sterilized blades just in case. Back then $30 a box by Swan- Morton!

 

I still have a few of them but their use is limited now, How would you clean fish with it?

 

I show them to kids today and explain how it was used and they think I fell out of a tree!

Just to add. The blade was snap-in very secure. Don't want to leave it in someone! BUT you held the blade and pushed the handle inserting. taking it out was more of a skill, unless you knew to "lift the blade and pull" this is where blood was lost lol.

In 20 years I never saw my own blood!!!!
