Vintage Shapleigh's by WESTERN STATES DOX FISH GAFF Folding JACK KNIFE Excellent

  

This is a vintage folding Fishing Knife retailed by SHAPLEIGH HARDWARE of Saint Louis USA as stamped on the tang. Shapleigh is also Etched across the blade. It was manufactured by Western States Cutlery in Boulder Colo. Main long clip blade shows light use but I believe still has the factory edge.

Folding Scaler-Hook Disgorger and folding FISH GAFF are the other 2 blades. All 3 have strong snaps. Thick Aluminum handles that are stamped: DOX FISH GAFF PAT.
