The CIVIVI Shawka is a purpose-built 5.8-inch folding fillet knife (brand part no. C22029B1) made for anglers who want a flexible, precise blade without carrying a full-length fixed fillet knife to the boat. CIVIVI engineered the Shawka with a nested folding design, so the long, thin blade tucks safely into an aluminum handle finished in black and red for a knife that travels well in a tackle bag or glove box. Whether you are cleaning fish dockside or breaking down a catch at camp, the Shawka’s blade length and flex are tuned specifically for filleting work rather than general EDC chores.

Key Specifications

• The 5.8-inch blade gives enough reach and flex to fillet larger fish in fewer strokes.
• Blade steel is carbon steel, which takes a very sharp, thin edge suited to fine fillet work.
• Overall closed length is 7.33 inches, keeping the folded knife compact for storage.
• Open length reaches 13.14 inches, giving the blade full working length when deployed.
• The handle is finished in black and red aluminum for a durable, easy-to-spot grip.
• A liner lock keeps the long blade secured open during use.
• The nested folding design allows the slim fillet blade to fold safely into the handle for transport.
• The knife carries a single blade, keeping the folding mechanism simple and reliable.
• Closed dimensions measure 2.10 by 2.60 by 8.50 inches, giving a clear picture of the folded footprint.
