Overview
Underwater on a spearfishing trip is where this knife earns its place. The asymmetrical blade is shaped for filleting, the notched profile scales fish, and the blade is made of anti-corrosion steel.
A fish-focused blade and a sheath made for the calf are the strengths, with an ergonomic anti-slip grip for wet hands. It is a hand-wash item, and lock, lanyard and depth details are absent.
Who it's for
Spearfishers who clean fish on the boat or beach get a blade shaped for filleting and a notched scaler in one tool. Divers who need a cutting tool for entanglement, or a knife with published corrosion testing, should check the maker details.
Pros and cons
- Asymmetrical filleting blade
- Notched fish scale profile
- Anti-corrosion steel blade
- Non-slip ergonomic handle
- Hand wash only
- Depth rating not listed
- No line cutter or tip tool listed
Performance notes
An asymmetrical edge lets the blade follow the fish body while filleting, and the serrations bite through scale and tough skin. The V-shaped sheath seat makes inserting the blade easier, and the double fixing slot helps position the sheath on the calf.
