The Perfect Freshwater Blade. Named after Montana’s state fish, the Westslope knife is built for freshwater anglers who demand accuracy. Unlike traditional fillet knives made for large saltwater catches, the Westslope excels at gutting and cleaning trout, perch, pike, salmon, and walleye—right on the bank or boat. Whether prepping food or cleaning your catch at camp, this specialized tool offers the handling needed for small to medium-sized fish. Protecting the Westslope Cutthroat Trout: As a species of concern in Montana, the native Westslope Cutthroat faces habitat loss and competition from non-native species, and environmental changes. We named this knife to help raise awareness for conservation efforts restoring habitats, protecting pure populations, and supporting sustainable fishing. As a Montana-based company, we stand behind the work being done by state, tribal, federal, and private agencies preserve our state’s wild waters and native fish.
