Phil Wilson is truly unique among custom knifemakers. In addition to his consummate skills as a craftsman, he is also a passionate outdoorsman with a deep understanding of the design dynamics of high-performance hunting and fishing knives. One of his most popular custom designs is the Shelter Cove — the filet knife of choice of many savvy fishermen worldwide.

Its blade is crafted from 8Cr17MoV stainless steel and painstakingly full-flat ground to offer exceptionally thin edge geometry and a uniform distal taper. Expertly heat treated for the optimal balance of edge retention and flexibility, it also features full-tang construction, contoured G-10 handle scales, and an oversized lanyard hole. A faithful rendition of Wilson’s coveted custom design, our Shelter Cove comes complete with a beautifully crafted genuine leather sheath with a belt loop.
