Walton's Thumb
« on: May 19, 2004, 01:48 PM »
Anyone ever hear of a Hank Roberts Walton's Thumb?  This was a "do it all" fly fishing gadget made of fine stainless steel.  Probably a pre-cursor to the multi-tool/pliers of today with scissors, blade, hook sharpener, leader cutter, needle spike, etc.  It was a pretty awesome tool and quite costly about 20 years ago.  They were made for a very brief time in Asia somewhere based upon Hank Roberts' design and are very rare to find these days.

I never owned one personally, but a friend had one about 15-20 years ago that I was envious of.  Have been trying to find one on Ebay but have only seen them listed twice in a year and they went for more than I cared to spend both times.  Up around $100 or so.

Anyone have one they would like to part with or know of someone who has one to sell??
