The Danco Eco Series 5” Bait / Fillet Knife is a compact, versatile fishing knife built for cutting bait, light fillet work, and everyday on-the-water utility while incorporating environmentally conscious materials and durable saltwater-ready construction. Designed for anglers who want dependable cutting performance in a lightweight compact platform, the Eco Series combines corrosion-resistant stainless steel with handles and sheaths made from recycled Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP).

Built with a sharp German stainless steel blade and ergonomic non-slip grip, the Eco Series 5” knife performs exceptionally well for:
