All mine were wore out to the extreme, I'd sharpened them a bunch
and even had to peen the rivet to tighten them up (American Angler)
Finally broke down and picked up a pair other night, took a chance on
some of the "necked down", narrow ones - said something about
"shark blade" on the pack. Only cleaned five fish with 'em so far,
but I think I'm really liking that narrow blade! Of course, anything is
so much better than what I had, it may not be a fair comparison :D
