Fish fillet knife by Svord made in Waiuku, New Zealand

A good knife is a fantastic gift for the fisher people in your life, and anyone who loves cooking and eating fresh fish. This fish fillet knife has been designed by master cutler Bryan Baker and made by his team of knife makers at Svord in Waiuku, New Zealand. Its sharp and durable stainless steel blade is complemented by a solid heartwood handle and brass rivets. This fishing knife comes presented in a black PVC sheath, bring it along on the boat; it can live in your tackle box.

Fishing knives are not created equal. The more flex a blade has, the greater its ability to work around bones and remove skin. Svord's super sharp stainless steel blade is very thin, so that it can bend and flex. This allows the length to move easily along the backbone and under the skin of meat. This fillet knife is tough enough to fillet larger fish, but small and flexible enough to be well suited to filleting the flesh and bones of smaller fish.

Pair it with the Svord sharpening steel. It's made to fit the pocket on the sheath, so you can keep the edge keen out on the boat.

22cm blade length, 35cm total length.
Colour of timber handle can vary from image.

About Svord

Bryan Baker, master cutler, started his knife-making company from necessity in 1983. Made redundant by the untimely demise of an engineering firm, the 18 year old decided to turn a hobby making knives into a practical business making a variety of high quality kitchen, hunting and fishing knives at a reasonable price. Staring small, Svord has grown its range of knives over the years and sells to many countries worldwide from their home base in New Zealand. The combination of quality Swedish cutlery steel and Baker's process for heat treating and tempering produces the best cutting blades.

Care Instructions: Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher. Use a wooden chopping board, and store in a knife block, on a magnetic strip or in its sheath. Have it professionally sharpened about once a year, or whenever it starts to feel dull. In Christchurch we recommend KASS Sharpening Services on St Asaph Street.
