When Russ Kommer sent us his new folder prototype, those of us who are salmon and halibut fishermen saw an exquisite folding fillet knife. However, those who love to hunt could only see the perfect boning knife for deer, elk, caribou, and moose. Because this knife does both jobs very well, we had to name it the Kommer Surf 'N Turf™.
It owes its versatility to the slender upturned 5.0" blade of high-carbon 5Cr13MoV stainless steel, which gives the blade toughness and flexibility. It is high-taper-ground to perform smooth, accurate slicing, and mirror polished for best stain resistance. Dual grooved thumb studs allow fast either-hand opening.
We have used our rigid InterFrame build on the Surf 'N Turf, with two stainless steel liners, one locking, and a full-length stainless steel back spacer at the spine, which is completely smooth for ease of cleaning. Scales are hand-shaped black resin impregnated fiber as found on the finest custom knives. There is a removable mirror-polished custom stainless steel pocket/gear clip.
We believe that the serious outdoorsman will immediately recognize the quality and value. And many will use it for both fishing and hunting.
Hands down the sharpest knife I have ever owned. I bought the 9", 7" and 5" Kommer knives at the same time I purchased the Surf and Turf. While they are also good knives, they don't hold a candle to this one. I touch it up with the fine hone in my Lansky sharpening kit and it slices through Rockfish with no effort.

Just a fantastic product, I gave this knife as a gift to an old friend who knows knives and it was a big hit, I'm happy that such well thought out quality products still exist in the world at any cost.

this is a great knife for skinning and as a fishing knife the only problem I have with the knife the knurrling on the liner lock is not tall enuff to get the liner lock to release. if your hand are wet it is almost impossible to get the knife to close
