I'm looking for a multi tool that revolves around cleaning fish.
A flexible filet knife, catfish skinners instead of pliers, a scale remover, etc
Does anything like this exist?
If it doesn't, why not?
>>690647
they do exist, but not in the conventional leatherman style. there are multitools in the form of a fixed blade that have most of what youll need to process a fish, even though they are shunned because fisherman generally dont need something so foofy. its assumed if you have the space to store a fish, you have an equal amount of space for tools
>>690659
What if I'm a hobo and I want to use my begging money for a tool that will do it all?
Got any links?
I've been searching and I found ONE folding filet knife.
>>690674
Buck makes some
I think havalon does too
>>690647
I have these from Bass Pro, I'll get details and post in the morning
It's a 3 letter company that starts with K IIRC
>>690647
Havalon makes the one in the pic. I've got the smaller one and have done a deer and a dozen smaller mammals with a single blade.

They also make a saw blade that will fit those larger handled knives. Not sure how big of fish your doing. I should also mention the hunter blade and filet blade will fit the same knife.
>>690688
I've heard about those, those are REALLY good apparently.
>>690688
That Baracuta Edge is sexy as all hell. Not cheap but I bet those are great.

This is the tool I was thinking of. Won't meet your needs exactly, no filet blade, has needlenose pliers but for $13 USD it's not bad
Designed to meet the needs of the world's top fisherman, the KVD Angler's Multi-Tool packs 15 essential functions into one compact, easy-to-carry device. Includes extra-long needle-nose pliers, heavy-duty cutters, curved dual serrated saw, hook sharpening file, scaler, curved serrated knife, hook remover, can opener, bottle opener, Phillips screwdriver, 2 flat screwdrivers, extendable ruler, crimper, and extra sharp standard knife. With the KVD Angler's Multi-Tool, you can "travel light" on the water, and still be ready for anything. Comes with its own nylon holster.

>Hook Sharpening File with Scaler
>Curved Dual Serrated Saw
>Nail Cleaner with Small knife
I don't even know what to think. At least we know the knife is extra sharp. Anyway, $13 is too much.

>$13 is too much
You're shit out of luck then. Not going to find anything better and cheaper than that KVD.
>>690674
True hobo doesn't filet fish
>>690984
No matter how poor you are buying this "tool" is a crime. There is no excuse to buy shit like this.
>better and cheaper
If this is how you choose I can't help you.
>>690957
lol if you're a hobo and 13 bucks is too much you're doing it so fuckin wrong
>>691005
>If this is how you choose
anon said $13 is too much.
I got the KVD as a gift that I can leave on the boat and if I drop it in the drink I won't be bummed out.
I certainly can afford much better and don't gravitate to multi-tools as a rule. Like Vise-grips, I believe multi's do everything more poorly than stand-alone tools.
OP asked for opinions. I gave one...
The KVD is not a piece of shit for $13, nor is it something I'd trust my life to. I'd give it 3 out of 5 for convenience.

OP here
>bottle opener
>on a knife geared towards fishermen
LOL I guess I didn't think of everything.
>wire cutters
>wire strippers
>screwdriver accoutrements
I guess that's a good idea in case you have to repair an outbound or be stranded in the water.
Thanks for all the good info, guys.
>>691241
>repair an outbound
more like your reel, phillips is pretty damned small.
>>691241
What you said here is exactly why I bought the Skeletool for fishing. Pliers, a knife, and then a screwdriver which is nice I guess if I need to rebuild a reel on the lake (not). But I didn't need a damn 4" wood saw for cutting line and unhooking fish.

Tripfag plz go
>>691368
At least talk shit about me not knowing anything or being a dick. You're not even trying.
>>690647
There's also pic related. I think they are kinda shitty though. Rapala makes some tools, maybe look into that. I think Eagle Claw does as well. Not sure if they do a leatherman-style multitool though, but they do combo sets.
>>690957
You aren't going to find a multitool for much less than $13. You need to learn to make do with more primitive equipment.
>>691912
Huh. I guess I'm wrong. That thing's about $8 on Amazon. With shipping, it might not be much cheaper, though.
