Svord Standard Carbon Steel Fish Fillet Knife 9in

100% NZ handcrafted by Bryan Baker, Master Cutler

In today's throwaway world of mass-produced short-life uniformity, the Svord Standard Stainless Fish Fillet Knife is a cut above the rest. This knife is 100% hand-crafted in the manner of the world's most famous knives - the bowie, the Arkansas 'Toothpick' - and made from the finest steel with the best edge. The blade is individually hardened and tempered using a unique heat treatment process. Afterwards, it is hand ground with a water cooled stone to produce a convex razor edge. It's a classic knife that lasts a lifetime!

Sharpening Tips:

1. Never wash this knife in a dishwasher.
2. Never leave this knife wet or in water at any time or the knife will tarnish.
3. Always cut on a chopping board and not directly on a stainless steel bench top.
4. To wash your knife, run it under boiling hot water as this imparts a blue-ish tinge to the steel.
5. To sharpen your knife we recommend abrasive sharpeners such as a diamond steel or a stone, traditional oil stone, India stone or Arkansas stone - never use a Butcher's steel as it is designed to align the edge on soft steel knives.
6. Store your knife in a knife block or in a drawer separate from other cutlery to avoid it being damaged.
7. Some of the knives have rare exotic woods as handles - occasionally you should polish with furniture oil or boiled linseed oil.
8. If your knife tarnishes use a green scotchbrite ( Artificial plastic steel wool ) pad to clean
