Fishing Knives

A sharp angler's knife is an indispensable tool for fishermen and anglers. The knives are used for the humane killing, gutting, and filleting of fish, but also come in handy for cutting fishing lines, for example. Therefore, every tackle box should contain an angler's knife.

If you are looking for a high-quality and durable fishing knife, you will find what you need at Meister Messer. In our online shop, you can find both fixed blade fishing knives and folding knife designs, as well as knife sets that include a fishing knife. The following guide will help you find the perfect model.

The characteristic features of angler knives

Knives for anglers and fishermen are offered in various designs in stores. Nevertheless, there are some characteristics that are considered typical features of angler knives:

• Sharp Blade: Fishing knives are equipped with a sharp blade. This is necessary to be able to kill fish in a sportsmanlike manner. The high sharpness also ensures that no frayed ends are created when cutting braided fishing lines.
• Tapered Blade: Most models feature a narrow blade that tapers towards the front end. Many angler knives have a clip point tip, sometimes also referred to as a pike tip. Thanks to this design, you can work on fish precisely without unnecessarily damaging the meat.
• High corrosion resistance: Since the knives are often used in damp environments and exposed to the weather, the blades of the cutting tools are frequently made of stainless steel.

Important buying criteria: These are the variables you should pay attention to

If you want to get yourself a fishing knife, you can choose between knives with a fixed blade and a folding blade. Both construction methods have their advantages. While pocket knives can be transported very comfortably and require very little space, fixed blade knives are less susceptible to stubborn dirt. Which variant is more suitable is therefore primarily a matter of personal preferences.

But there are still other variables that appear in almost every fishing knife test. Also considered important decision criteria are:

• Blade material: Make sure that the knife is made of stainless steel if possible. This is usually the case for angler knives made of stainless steel, but not always for knives with a carbon steel blade. Some models also have an additional coating that protects the blade from corrosion.
• Blade length: The length of the blade is usually between 8 and 15 centimeters. Models with a short blade are suitable for cutting tasks that require high precision. Larger fishing knives are better suited for filleting.
• Handle: The knife handle should not only be ergonomically shaped, but also designed to be non-slip, ensuring a secure grip even in wet and rainy conditions. Therefore, knife manufacturers primarily use plastic and rubber as handle materials. In contrast, the handle of traditional Finnish knives is made of natural materials such as wood or cork.
• Additional functions and accessories: Some angler knives offer you additional functions such as a fish bonker, a scale remover, or a bottle opener. Most models also come with a sheath for safe transport of the knife.
