My grandfather (pappy) had this knife many years past, gave it to my uncle John who then passed it on to me. Advertised as a floating fishing knife which it does, made of Japanese stainless steel which has lived up to it’s reputation for over 70 years. Sharpens quite easily and holds an edge quite well. Still use it from time to time for nostalgics sake.

I make knives as a hobby .I have made 3 knives for cleaning fish. They are 3 billion times harder to make then skinning knives. The thinner you make a blade the more careful you have to be during the forging and heat treating process. now I use A1C stainless ,it a air cooling steel just have to hang them in a place with as little air flow as you can or they tend to curve which is fixable but it's a pain in the behind.

Yes, I have one from when my folks had a boat on the Chesapeake in the late 60’s. My Dad taught me how to fish, crab and clam on the Chesapeake. Great way to grow up! I don’t use the knife though. Glad you have a keep sake, too!
