Award-winning Angling International LIVE exhibitor Fisherman Corporation has signed up to return to the show in June next year.
The Japanese brand, winner of the Accessory award in the General and Coarse category of this year’s show in Budapest with the Sashimi knife, has already committed to the 2025 event in Bratislava. The company’s Rie Takeuchi told Angling International: “We are looking forward to repeating this year’s memorable and meaningful occasion at the new venue.

“We did not expect to win an award in Budapest and it represents a great opportunity for us to put the product in the limelight and become better known within the industry. In a year that has seen the fishing tackle industry facing difficulties – not only in our domestic market of Japan but across the world – we were happy to participate in exhibitions in line with our philosophy of face-to-face meetings, and we will continue this next year to increase the number of direct meetings with our current customers and potential new ones. That is one of the main reasons why we are looking forward to returning the Angling International LIVE next year.”
Fisherman Corp, based in Kobe, makes all types of fishing tackle, ranging from rods to reels, lines, lures and accessories which are appreciated by customers in over 50 countries worldwide.

A winner of the DESIGN PLUS Award at the Ambiente Messe in Germany, the KASUMI DAMASCUS SASHIMI 21cm Knife has a ‘super’ hard VG-10 alloy as its core material. It features the KASAMI (haze) pattern which is a result of forging a blade consisting of 21 layers of stainless steel. Carefully finished by professionals, the cut is said to last longer than other knives even allowing for constant use.
