Alright gents, we know The James Brand usually deals in the sleek, minimal tools living quietly in your pockets. But sometimes, life throws you a curveball. Or, more accurately, a fish. Enter The James Brand Humboldt Knife, TJB’s first-ever fillet knife, proving that even the most refined EDC needs a specialist for messy jobs.

Designed with input from actual fish-dealing humans (surfers, chefs, etc.), this isn’t just any fish sticker. For $179, you get a 7″ stonewashed, full-tang Böhler N690 stainless-steel blade – basically, it laughs at corrosion. Machined G10 handles mean you won’t lose grip, even if things get, shall we say, ‘slimy’. Its flexible profile and razor edge make short work of bones and scales. It comes with a Kydex sheath because, naturally, you need to take this fish-slicing machine everywhere from beach breaks to, well, your kitchen. Minimalism? Yes. Maximal fish-slaying power? Absolutely.
