Smith & Wesson Survival Series Model 6050 Fisherman Knife

In total this series of knives referred to as the Survival Series consisted of 7 knives. To complete their line of knives, the factory offered the fisherman two fixed blade knives. These were called the Fisherman Fillet model 6040, designed with a 6.5" blade and a general-purpose knife with a stiffer 5.5" blade model 6050 simply called the Fisherman.
