JAF x Victory Bare Bones

A heritage blade maker and a modern fishing label have come together for a collaboration rooted in craft, utility, and respect for the catch. Victory Knives has partnered with Just Another Fisherman on Bare Bones, a special edition capsule centred on the journey from sea to plate. Two years in the making, at the heart of the collaboration is a two-piece knife set designed specifically for preparing fresh catch. Crafted using premium German steel and shaped with ergonomic handles for comfort and control, the blades are designed to be easy to sharpen and built to last. The wider capsule includes a T-shirt and cap featuring an Art Deco-inspired graphic treatment that nods to Victory’s near-century of heritage. Together, the pieces form a considered extension of the Bare Bones philosophy, grounded in a simple idea: use everything. Check them out here.
