Fishell Paddles is your premier provider for the best wooden handmade canoe paddles. Originally designed and manufactured by the legendary Ray Kettlewell, the Fishell family still makes each paddle like Ray did: ensuring a high standard of quality and leaving your finished product without any defects.

Fishell produces various designs of paddles depending on your preferred canoe style. Their paddles are highly durable and can withstand years of use during your canoeing adventures. These simple, cleanly designed paddles show off the detail and effort put into each piece, highlighting the natural qualities of the chosen wood.

From a single piece of carefully selected hardwood and produced in batches once a year or by special request, LiquidSwords paddles are only hand carved and shaped without the use of heavy copy machinery.

We have several unique blades designs, and standard options include asymmetric or symmetrical handles, carbon-fibre tips, and choice of finish details.

Both LiquidSwords and Fishell paddles can be personalized with custom colour, decals, engraving, and metal work. Don’t want to lose it? Ask about GPS tracking!

The goal of Fishell Paddles is produce the single best quality paddle on the market. We only use a single piece of wood for each paddle and take advantage of the characteristics of the wood to ensure the best quality paddle. All our paddles are balanced and shaved down to an exact thickness right for the piece of wood being used.

We work directly with our Canadian mill partners to source the best cherry, ash, and maple for crafting each paddle. We also offer specialty grains including Curly Cherry and Tiger Maple on request.
