Removing ghost nets from our oceans.
Did you know there is enough fishing line abandoned each year to wrap around the equator 400 times, and enough abandoned fishing nets to cover the entirety of Scotland? Drifting for years, these ghost nets terrorise everything in their path, from marine life to the marine environment. Nothing is safe. To help untangle this problem, NZ brand, The Ironclad Co. has created the first-ever range of knives with 100% discarded fishing net handles – Ghost Net Knives. The commercial-grade knife range, made in partnership with 97-year-old knife maker Victory Knives, uses fishing nets recovered from nearshore areas of the ocean and every knife sold will haul a further 1kg of discarded fishing nets from the oceans. There are 4 knives in the range. They are perfect for fishing enthusiasts who care about our marine life.
