Model 7 Fisherman-Hunter

The Model 7 Fisherman was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.

Almost immediately, the concept of a reduced-scale version of his new Hunter suggested itself to Bo as an ideal knife for his fellow fisherman. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo viewed this new knife as a labor of love, and he got to work on the project right away. He tried both 4- and 4 1/2-inch blades at first, rapidly settling on the 4 1/2. Bo wanted just the right grip for cleaning brook trout and similar-size fish, so he reduced the handle size from the new Hunter and modified its shape some. Naturally, he named this one the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with the 4-inch blade went to a few dealers during the latter part of September 1945.

From the current catalog:
" Model 7 Fisherman-Hunter 4 1/2" and 5" blades of 3/16" stock. 4 1/4"-5/8" leather handle. Brass hilt. Duralumin butt cap. Similar to Model 3 except this knife is smaller and lighter. Ideal for small game, creel and tackle box."

Along with the Model 3 the Model 7 is one of my own personal favorites.

Lady and gentlemen may we please see some Model 7's.
