Abstract
A sportsman multiple use tool is a device for allowing the sportsman a variety of tools in one. It comprises a locking bill with teeth for grasping, serrated sides on the bill for scraping, a crimper which is designed within the spacers which keep the teeth from breaking and a groove in the front of the bill for use as a degouger. A device as such will allow the sportsman to use the tool, in camping for securing items and handling hot pots, coals, etc., in hunting for grasping hides when skinning or tanning, in fishing as an all around tool for grasping fish, crabs, turtles, etc., degouging hooks, crimping weights on fishing line, and scraping fish scales off fish.
