The Spyderco Shelter Cove is a professional-grade fillet knife designed to bring precision, control, and durability to every filleting task. Built for anglers, culinary enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a finely engineered cutting tool, this knife combines a flexible yet strong blade, ergonomic handle, and thoughtful sheath design to deliver unmatched performance. With a satin-finished fillet blade, full tang construction, and comfortable black G-10 handle, the Shelter Cove is ready to handle fish cleaning, filleting, and other precise cutting tasks with confidence and ease.
At the heart of the Shelter Cove is a 5.78-inch plain-edge fillet blade crafted from 8Cr17MoV stainless steel. This high-quality steel offers excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and flexibility, making it ideal for working with delicate fish fillets or precise slicing. The satin finish provides a smooth cutting surface that glides through flesh cleanly, reducing friction and ensuring consistently precise cuts. The full tang construction adds strength and stability, giving you complete control over the blade for delicate, accurate work. Every aspect of the blade has been designed to make filleting efficient, comfortable, and precise, making it a dependable companion on every fishing trip or in any kitchen.
The black G-10 handle is ergonomically shaped for a secure, comfortable grip that feels natural in the hand. Its textured surface ensures reliable traction even when wet, while the durable construction provides confidence during extended use. The full tang blade extends through the handle, enhancing strength and balance while maintaining a slim profile that’s easy to maneuver. A lanyard hole adds convenience for retention or personalizing your carry setup, ensuring the knife is ready for use in any situation.
To keep the Shelter Cove safe and accessible, it comes with a black leather sheath with a belt loop. The sheath allows for secure carry while keeping the blade protected and within easy reach. Its traditional design complements the knife’s functional aesthetics while providing practicality for both field and kitchen use. The combination of a protective sheath and ergonomic handle ensures the knife is not only safe to transport but also ready for immediate use whenever needed.
