Phil Wilson stands out as a truly exceptional custom knifemaker. Alongside his masterful craftsmanship, he is a dedicated outdoorsman with a profound grasp of the design nuances essential for high-performance hunting and fishing knives. Among his most sought-after custom creations is the Shelter Cove™—a filet knife favoured by discerning anglers around the globe.
Spyderco is delighted to present an affordable production version of this well-regarded design. The blade is constructed from 8Cr17MoV stainless steel and is meticulously full-flat ground to provide a fragile edge geometry along with a uniform distal taper. Expertly heat-treated to achieve the ideal balance between edge retention and flexibility, the knife features full-tang construction, contoured G-10 handle scales, and an oversized lanyard hole for practicality.
This faithful reproduction of Wilson’s highly prized custom design is complemented by a beautifully crafted leather sheath, complete with a belt loop, ensuring it is both functional and aesthetically appealing.
