Too often ignored by custom knife makers, enthusiasts from the Low Country from Charleston to Savannah and along the Gulf coast will appreciate the variety of oyster knives shown here, while offshore fishermen and women everywhere will appreciate the 10 or 12-inch "Dorado", a knife of uncommon ability for use on large gamefish. SCUBA divers will be pleased to know that I make a variety of diving knives, most notably a multi-use dive tool tested aboard the "Calypso", Jacques Cousteau's famed oceanographic laboratory vessel. Contact me for details. Fly fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the lightweight trout filet knife, a delicate instrument also intended to do serious work with great finesse on panfish as well as large and smallmouth Bass. Need the right filet knife for Walleye? No problem. Move up to the 10 or 12 inch "Dorado" to get that flaky white filet in one slice. Double-duty as a boning knife that easily follows the contours of ribs is a lesser known feature of the trout filet knife. Your dog, however, will not appreciate how close to the bone this little knife will cut! Flexible yet tough, each of these filet knives is made to exacting standards, the result of thorough testing by men and women who catch fish. Designed to filet thick species such as Grouper, Dolphin (also known as Mahi-Mahi or Dorado), Sheephead and Tuna, and every variety of fresh water species, these working knives function beautifully by pushing the razor-sharp blade, not sawing with it. Fresh-caught Sea Bass, Redfish, Mackeral and Kings, or the day's fresh water catch, all are rapidly transformed into the focal point of a patio dinner beautifully fileted by any of these functional blades. Oyster lovers will appreciate the wide variety of models featuring spade points and fat, comfortable handles that will make an expert shucker out of the novice in a matter of minutes. (It's all in the wrist!) SCUBA divers, please contact me for details about this very special tool. I will be more than glad to help you design a custom-made underwater dive knife to suit the special needs of men, women, and youngsters who enjoy this exceptional sport. Matching His & Hers sets make a great gift idea, sure to be welcome by couples who dive in the Keys, The Wall, in the Caymans or as far as Australia's Great Barrier Reef and the crystal waters of The Maldives. All salt and fresh water knives feature stainless steel blades and hygeinic, dishwasher-safe synthetic handles. A durable synthetic sheath that can be hand-washed is standard. Synthetic sheaths should not be cleaned in a dishwasher because prolonged exposure to high temperatures will distort the material.
