Abstract
A fishing pliers including a pair of gripping jaws having replaceable gripping inserts with progressively finer knurled gripping surfaces, so that the gripping jaws can be used on both small and large objects and for many different tasks. The fishing pliers also include a pair of cutting jaws having replaceable cutting blades with cutting edges. The cutting edges are positioned so that their common cutting line is offset from the pivot axis of the fishing pliers so that the cutting jaws produce both a slicing cutting motion and a compressive cutting motion, making for easier cutting and reducing wear on the cutting blades.
