Earlier this year I was going through some old fishing boxes that belonged to my dad and found an "Imperial 2 blade fish knife"(these were not great knife/cheap)---in or on the knife there is a scaling blade (for scaling, not very good), but on the end of this scaling blade a hook remover thus the reason for this post. For a long time I have used hemostats to remove hooks (from trout and pan fish) but I find that using hemostats can sometimes crush hackles/feathers and damage a fly, so lately I have been using the above mentioned Imperial knife hook remover and I think there has been less damage to the flies IMHO. A plus is that You also get a bottle opener and a knife (3 in 1).This is not a big deal, but I thought some of you might find it interest.

PS: If anyone can put a picture of this knife on here, it might explained better

Yup. The style comes from several makers. Mine is a Stag, made in Ireland. Looks like whrlpool's but with yellow plastic handle scales. Pretty sure Case has one, too. Some have a hook sharpener embedded in the handle.

I have a small collection of the Imperial single blade has a bottle opener and fish scaler on one blade and colorful celluoid handle made in prov. usa .......aurelio
Also has a fish inlay

Nice! I've heard of the Western company, and that they made some good knives. Enjoy that one.
