Estate Sale Find IPCO Filet-A-Fish Knife; R. Heinisch Scissors, 'Something' Fort Smith Scissors

I just checked out an estate sale, and among other items I bought a knife and two scissors.

Working on My Knife Blog

Here is a picture of my knife blog work station. The computer, the knife and scissors, and a magnifying glass. I need the magnifying glass to read stamps that are old and worn. I have a better, higher power magnifier in my tool box, I need to get another one for my home.

IPCO Fish Filet Knife

The knife I bought is a IPCO brand fish filet knife, called Filet-A-Fish, made in Sweden.

I can't really tell its age, the printing on the knife blade looks rather modern, and the sheath is molded plastic, so is probably not too old.

This fish filet knife is in very good condition, I cleaned it up, next I will sharpen it — then put it out on knife section of my knife sharpening booth and see what happens.

R. Heimisch Scissors; 'Fort Smith' Scissors

I also bought two pair of scissors.

The smaller pair in the picture look to me like hair cutting scissors. I can't read the name stamped on the blade, it looks like 'XXX Steel Scissors Fort Smith, ARK' with the three X's being three letters that I can't quite make out.

The big guys are R. Heimisch scissors, made in Newark, New Jersey.

Both of these scissors are in good condition, the only real flaw is just surface tarnishing. I will probably sharpen them — then I don't know what I will do with them.
