Description
Bubba 9" STIFFIE Fillet Knife
This is the knife featured in the Bubba Knife show. Because of the blade thickness (2mm) it’s an over all heavier knife. The knife has very little flex so you can power though the bigger fish or big game with total control. It's also excellent for carving meat. The specially designed beveled edge (sushi chef style) allows for thinner cuts. The non-stick coated blade glides effortlessly through fish or meat and is the perfect utility knife for the fisherman as well as the hunter.

Reviews are spot on
its true, bloody beautiful knife replaced a couple of my own regular knives and Mumsy wants her own too. I haven't seen a bad review yet. Proud of myself for ordering it online because I'm sceptical as f&@k buying stuff through the net, lol.

Best knife
I just received this knife in the mail and I am very satisfied that I made the correct choice. I purchased this knife to fillet Tuna and it works precisely how I had hoped. I can't wait to save up and buy a couple of other blades to finish my collection. I was wanting to buy the 3 pack of 9" blades that are available but I chose to err on the side of caution and only purchase one to start with and see what the quality was like. You know how this story ends , I wish I had bought the three pack .

9 inch stiffie the best
Im wrapped with the bubba blade. Ive been looking for a decent sized solid knife for cleaning the big jewfish here in the territory. The handle feels great in the hand, the blade sharpens well, cleans great & for a 15" knife is well balanced. The 9 inch stiffie is my first bubba blade, i will now look at other bubba blades in the range for my next purchase. Credit to blue bottle fishing too.... What a great website, awesome products and the best service in Australia!! Thankyou.
