CINCINNATI, July 20 /PRNewswire/ -- /Havalon Knives/ – Havalon Knives is proud to announce the official release of their "Quik-Change" fillet knife: the Havalon Baracuta. In 2005, Havalon Knives introduced the Piranta series of replaceable blade skinning knives. The surgically-sharp, replaceable blades eliminate the need to carry a whetstone or sharpening tools. The Piranta series has been so popular, that fishing enthusiasts have asked Havalon repeatedly to produce a longer replaceable blade. In the tradition of offering exceptional products, Havalon Knives was happy to comply.

"Since the launch of our Piranta knives, we've had requests for a fishing fillet knife that featured our replaceable blade technology," says Patrick Carrothers, president and CEO of Havalon Knives. "We feel we've created a knife that meets a big need for both sporting and commercial fishing."

Designed with filleting in mind, the Havalon Baracuta will be the coolest knife on the boat. It also comes in handy when deboning big game, so the Havalon Piranta finally has some competition. Anglers and hunters alike will find the Baracuta to be a useful tool worth showing off to their friends.

The Baracuta comes in two distinct styles: the Baracuta-Edge and the Baracuta-Z. Both feature black military-grade Zytel plastic handles. The Baracuta-Edge has blaze orange rubber inserts, while the Baracuta-Z has grey rubber inserts. The open frame, dishwasher safe construction makes thorough cleaning easy. The pocket clip is removeable and the thumb studs are ambidextrous. Each knife measures 11" in overall length. The "Quik-Change" blade is 5" long and made from micro-honed Japanese stainless steel. Same great Havalon quality – this time with a little more length.
