Mid 20th-Century) Status:Discontinued Origin: USA Color: Brown Type: Fillet Knife Material:Carbon Steel, Hardwood, Brass * Before & After: This item has been professionally cleaned & serviced while in our possession. (Original Edge) * Special Note:Once again, capitalizing on their knowledge of fishing, in 1967, Normark owners, Rod Weber and Ray Ostrom, brought out a fillet knife, one modeled after a well-worn butcher's knife. Weber had to convince Finnish knife maker Lauri Marttiini to take on the task of fabricating the very thin, flexible blade he envisioned. When the Rapala Fish 'N Fillet Knife hit the market, it quickly became a popular item, producing more than 40 percent of Normark revenue for a time. * Note: CAUTION This item is NOT A TOY!
