Engineered with precision, this fixed-blade knife combines high-performance materials with practical design elements to provide a superior user experience.

From the moment you pick it up, you'll appreciate the attention to detail that makes this knife a reliable companion for any angler.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Optimal Blade Flexibility: The 9-inch blade, made from Japanese 420J2 stainless steel, offers just the right degree of flex. This flexibility is crucial for maneuvering around bones and through fish flesh, simplifying the filleting process and allowing for cleaner cuts.
• High Corrosion Resistance: The 420J2 stainless steel used in the blade is highly resistant to corrosion, making it perfectly suited for use in wet and marine environments. This ensures the knife's longevity and performance, even with frequent exposure to water.
• Secure & Comfortable Grip: The injection-molded co-polymer handle provides an excellent grip, even when wet. Its soft-yet-firm texture and contoured design reduce hand fatigue, making the job of filleting even large catches more comfortable and secure.
• Enhanced Visibility: Neon highlights integrated into the handle make the knife easy to spot in a marine environment or on a boat deck, preventing misplacement and improving safety.
• Convenient Storage & Carry: Included with the knife is a molded ABS sheath that offers secure storage. The sheath also features a belt loop, allowing for easy and safe carrying while fishing or transporting your gear.

HOW TO USE:

• Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out your fish on a clean, stable cutting board. Ensure you have good lighting and that your hands are clean.
• Grip the Knife: Hold the co-polymer handle firmly and comfortably. The ergonomic design and non-slip texture ensure a secure grip even if your hands are wet.
• Position the Blade: Place the long, flexible 9-inch blade just behind the gill plate of the fish, angling it slightly towards the head.
• Make the First Cut: Carefully cut down to the backbone. Then, turn the blade flat, running it along the top of the backbone, working your way towards the tail. Allow the blade's flexibility to guide it smoothly along the contours of the fish.
• Remove the Fillet: Once you've separated one side, repeat the process for the other side of the fish. Use the knife to carefully separate the fillet from the rib bones as needed.
• Clean and Store: After use, wash the knife and sheath thoroughly with soap and water. Dry completely to maintain the blade's condition. Store the knife securely in its molded ABS sheath.
