Grandpa always kept a good pocketknife on hand, and wise anglers do the same. Following the success of its AbelBlade, Abel Reels released a larger model for 2010. The new knife is constructed with the same high-quality materials as the original model but is 25 percent larger. Built with carbon, chrome and 154CM stainless steel, the AbelBlade is hardened to 60 RC, while the frame of the knife is constructed of cold-finished 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum. The best part about Abel’s new knife: You can order one with the same designs as your Abel reels. MSRP ranges from $175 to $300. www.abelreels.com
