Richie B Posted June 17, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2008 Gentlemen (and Ladies ?) Just acquired this EGW knife. Never seen one with a sawback before - are they scarce ? Richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuke41 Posted June 22, 2008 Share #2 Posted June 22, 2008 "are they scarce?" No, seems like 1/3 of the ones I've seen over the years have the saw back, but that's just my estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriot Posted June 22, 2008 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2008 I have one as well. I would say that the "1/3" estimate is about accurate... Patriot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QED4 Posted June 23, 2008 Share #5 Posted June 23, 2008 That is actually not a saw back it is a fish scaler. This a is commercial fishing knife, the back of the blade would be scrapped along the fish the opposite way that the scales run and pull them off, all part of cleaning the fish. A saw back knife has angled sharp teeth, often in two rows intended to cut small branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
