Didn't Know They Even Made Such a Tool

Was researching some miscellaneous items on the Internet today and, while on the Jann's Netcraft website, happened across the tool in the accompanying photo. It's labeled a "D-Barb Hook Remover."

This 8.5-inch tool has a sharp stainless-steel cutting edge that enables you to cut the barb off the hook of a gut-hooked fish, making for easy hook removal with a pair of pliers. Am guessing it very well might be equally effective against a hook that's buried in an angler's finger or what-have-you.

The built-in magnet catches the cut-off barb, ensuring no metal is left in the fish. The D-barb cutter is extra sharp to easily cut through hooks, leaders and fishing line--even braid. It includes a protective sheath.

At Jann's Netcraft, as well as several other retailers I found online, it sells for $14.95.

Here's the link to a video of the D-barb hook remover in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BWXfuiBTtc.
