Cut flyline that has become wrapped around your legs while wading
Cut stuck anchor lines
Stab an attacking mountain lion
Not only can an AbelBlade Knife do those things, they have!
Abel's Blade Knife is the finest, fastest, easiest, sharpest, hardest-working tool you will ever own. It's large enough to do the job, yet small enough and light enough to carry all the time.The AbelBlade knife is constructed of the finest components and materials
including Made in the USA high carbon, high chrome, 154CM knife grade stainless
steel. It has been hardened to 60RC. The handle or frame of the knife is 6061
aircraft quality aluminum. The blade is hollow-ground by hand.
The "liner-lock", that is, the blade-locking mechanism of fine spring steel can't close until you deliberately move it to the side with your thumb, thus allowing the blade to fold back. It is engineered for quick, single-handed use . . . vital when you need to hang onto a fishing rod while cutting a snarled anchor rope, cut away brush while float-tubing or cut through a streamside tangle. It's a must while camping, or on a float trip. The heavy-duty (removable) spring steel pocket clip has been designed to fit on the outside of your shirt, pants, wading shorts or wader pocket with the knife securely inside.
This is virtually a custom knife and is produced in very limited numbers in Abel's shop in California, USA. Black AbelBlade Knives are readily available. If you have your heart set on an artistic-anodized (gold or platinum) or fish print graphics knife, please allow 30 days for delivery.
Abel Model #2 Pliers at just 5.5 inches in length and 2.9 ounces are designed for all freshwater, light saltwater, bass angling, and fly-fishing use, capable of bending down the barb on a dry fly or cutting 175-pound braided wire. In Abel's original notarized tests, they made 1,000+ cuts of 80-pound test Monel wire and 100 cuts of 250-pound Nylon-coated braided wire. After that, they still cut 7X mono.

The #4 pliers now have a bottle opener machined into the handle.
Secure your pliers to your belt or wading shorts with an optional hand-tooled Latigo leather carrying sheath; and be sure to see our pliers/knife combo.
Abel Pliers come with a curled safety lanyard that may be secured to your belt or its own Latigo leather sheath. The curled lanyard will stretch approximately three feet.
Unless you’re fishing almost every day, it is unlikely our tool steel jaws will ever wear out. If it becomes necessary, Abel will replace them and correctly align the pliers’ jaws at the factory for $20 plus shipping.
One-of-a-kind abstract suggestions of fish on reels, knives, and pliers. Creatively anodized to capture the essence of the sport. Each artistically anodized item is one-of-a-kind. No two are alike because each is anodized individually using Abel's own artistic metallurgical process. Allow 30 days for delivery.
