your knife and move it ?
 
I use a net for smaller knife and a large thicj plactic bag for big knife to prevent spashing and injuring itself.

Ghost knife species and knifefish species a.k.a featherbacks are very different from each other. Most ghost knife don't panic to much if they are being held by a net or a bag. Bony tongue knifefish a.k.a featherback will splash, jump and do a lot of trashing if being capture.
 
I just use a net since my Knives are small right now. :D
 
the ponds ones, koi net.or cheesecloth frame... the tank growouts fine net is good coarse eye nets scratch there slimecoat a bit more since there sorta scale less.

some are really calm.. while some love to get back you for messing with im., lol.
 
I moved a 22" Clown knife with a rubber fishing net. They don't splash too hard typically.

The rubber net didn't leave a scratch.
 
Thinkin about going to a fishing supply depot to get a bigass net

how i did it last time was i hustled them into a 30g icechest and just lifted that out the tank. Or maybe i should use my kitchen trash can trapem and movem
 
I always use a bucket(1-2 feet). Put it inside the tank and chase them to the bucket and lift up the bucket... I need help of course... It takes 2-3 person to lift that bucket from my tank...
