| Montauk Point Fillet & Steaking System / Two Piece set |
| One of the most important functions of a knife to the serious offshore, flats and big river angler is the care and preparation of game fish once back at the dock. Large game fish require sharp, specially shaped blades to insure the most efficient processing of the delicious meat provided by so many large game fish.
The Montauk Point knives are the culmination of years of development between custom knife maker and international sportsman Greg Lightfoot and commercial fishermen who tested and helped refine the size, shape and characteristics of the knives to insure maximum cutting performance in the fillet and steaking process. |

| In addition to the need for high performance cutting, the processing of large fish and multiple fish, required the knife to have the ergonomic characteristics of a secure grip to insure minimum user fatigue and maximum comfort, and the correct amount of length and flex to maximize the useable meat and minimize waste.
To achieve these essential characteristics, Lightfoot incorporated a curved handle spine and finger choil and a 9.5” blade with just the right flex. The companion steaking knife features a thicker, stiffer blade spine to better “steak” large fish. |
