Inspiration: The knife we wanted didn't exist, so we created it.

Our beach cleaner's knife is made from 100% recycled Cornish gill nets, paired with a high-end Italian serrated safety blade. The ultimate boat-safe pocket tool for tackling ghost gear and other forms of plastic pollution.

 

RECYCLED HANDLE

0% virgin plastics, 100% recycled monofilament gill nets, which are regarded as the most dangerous form of ghost nets due to their likelihood of entanglement and invisible underwater appearance.

The green ‘seaglass’ colouration of the knife is entirely derived from the original netting and has no additional pigments or dyes.
Ergonomic shaped handle with folding blade design.
Loop hole for carry attachment.

DESIGNED FOR FUNCTION


The blade and components of our beach cleaners knife are made with 2.5 mm thick W 1.4034 stainless steel for an optimum blend of corrosion resistance properties without sacrificing hardness (56HRC) and the ability to hold an edge.

- Made in Italy by precision knife makers.

- 61 mm total blade length.

- Purposeful blade with 50 mm (65 mm for blunt tip variation) serrated section for slicing through tough ropes, nets and lines.

- Safety-tipped design with either hidden hooked blade for finer cuts of thinner lines, or a blunt tip with longer serrated section for cutting thick nets and ropes.

- Built to last. Whilst steel blades are initially energy-intensive to create, our knives are built for a lifetime of purpose and adventure.

EVERY PRODUCT HAS DIRECT IMPACT

Not only are you enabling your own beach clean capabilities, but you are also directly enabling the expansion of our ghost gear recovery and recycling efforts and creating a demand for plastic to be removed from the ocean.

You'll also be supporting the delivery of PlaNET Action, our education program. We deliver workshops across the UK, with our portable ocean plastic recycling machines and our marine biologist educators deployed to engage and inspire the next-generation in the marine environment and the plastic pollution issue.

Every surf. Every dive. The most common item on every beach clean. In 2018, Waterhaul's founder, Harry Dennis, was working as marine scientist for a charity project engaging community action on plastic pollution. He'd been fortunate to travel the world for both research and adventure. However, the bright green strands of ghost gear that were a ubiquitous sight on every shoreline, from the Arctic Circle to the Coral Triangle developed a frustration. We founded Waterhaul as frustrated marine conservationists - every winter our beaches were inundated with ghost gear and we were finding lines and offcuts daily. Our pile of collected nets grew and grew (as did our neighbours disapproval of the smell) which motivated us towards a solution. We developed a mechanical recycling solution to process various forms of end-of-life fishing gear, and produced our first pair of sunglasses in 2018. The properties which make ghost gear such a threat in our oceans; the size and abundance of net, the quality of the high-strength polymers used, and the urgency to remove the plastic from harms way, all make fishing nets a desirable recycling resource. And as we suspected, fishing nets durable enough to last 500 years in ocean make for super-strong sunglasses frames.
