they are made to withstand the prick of a knife, I would think they could stave off the fish.just be aware of the smell otf the glove

Yes, I believe the way this tool is designed would be suitable for a left-handed person. I highly recommend it. Before I purchased this item, it was a real struggle to get the coconut meat out of the shell. It's a lifesaver!!

This knife s fine for Fishing,in spite what anyone else says! I have owned 3 of these and they fillet any fish quite well! Come very sharp right out of the package too.I still hone mine close enough to shave with if needed! ;)

I don't know because I'm right-handed. However, I really do not recommend it as a general kitchen knife. It's good for dejointing chicken; but doesn't cut the skin at all. I am disappointed with it.

Skinning caribou deer elk salmon and other creatures intended for the table. Also great for cutting line digging holes stripping wire cleaning hooves and tending small fires. Can be used to help prepare and eat meals (not recommended following a hoof cleaning). It's a basic utility knife you won't be afraid to use and use hard. Carbon steel blade hold an edge well. It's ugly enough not to get left on a shelf and perfect enough at most tasks to keep getting used. The plastic scabbard does the job of protecting the blade until you can make or buy a better one. Hope that helps

The knife fits your hand, but that's not why I think it's the best there is. It's a much faster running fillet knife. You will clean fish so much better with it than any other fillet knife. Less meat loss.

It comes left handed that's what I like so I didn't mess with it but there's a tackle shop in town said they changed some over so it can be done I just don't know how difficult it is. Hope this helps.

I use a skinning knife with a rounded point, but for processing it works great. The blade is not very flexible, so if your wanting to butcher small game or fish the regular model would work better. The handle gives you a good grip on the knife even when covered in blood and slime, better then any i have ever used and Clean-up has never been a real problem. They are scary sharp and easy to keep that way with a little 600 grit wet/dry paper and a leather strop or belt. Mora are some of the best working knife I've ever used (and I've used a lot). I also do the hot vinegar to all my Mora's tho it is not needed (search youtube for hot vinegar patina). Buy a few, you won't be sorry.

I have not used for fish. I usually grill fish. But I would use for trout or if baking a salmon steak or swordfish.

I have been using my knife for a while. I have not seen this with my knife. I do hand wash all my knives. These knives are not expensive. So I dont worry about it to much.

You would need a thin sharp blade---and don't forget technique! If you have a favorite sushi place watch theblade used and ask if you will. They are friendly to customer question.

All I use is a ceramic rod that I had glued to a small piece of wood. it works great. small and you don't need oil. I have used this knife for cleaning pig and deer and no problems at all.

Yes, I am quite sure you can. You can contact Shun knives via their website or approach one of their authorized venders. They should be able to order a left handed knife if they do not stock them. I love my Shun knives!

I am left handed and use it for sharpening almost anything. Simply flip the base around so you hold it with your right, the knife in your left. It works!

I cut a narrow hole into the lid of an empty, clean Mccann's Steel Cut Oatmeal tin. Although the lid is removable, it's almost impossible to remove without a knife or a paint can key. The tin is big enough that I can store hundreds (if not thousands) of used blades. When the time comes to throw it away, I will hot glue it (or duct tape it) shut, and see if I can take it to a sharps disposal site.Alternatively, you may want to check with your local government. Around here, Goodwill hands out free sharps disposal containers.

When you buy a new Mora carbon steel knife, I suggest that you heat a small amount of vinegar, degrease the blade (nothing too fancy needed, nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, etc...or use a degreaser from the hardware store), and once the vinegar is hot put it into a glas container of some sort and (I use a mug) and fill it so the blade is covered. Wait about 15 minutes, and you will force a nice "patina" on the blade. It will be more resistant to rust and stains. Not as good as stainless, but whatever...it is a $9.00 knife. You can also use some mustard. Or you can put masking tape and make designs on the blade. Mora knives are a hobby unto themselve. Great product and good price.
