7.5" Fillet Knife - Elegant Series (B38L)

Breaking down a whole snapper is where most kitchen knives fail you. The blade is too stiff to follow the skeleton, or too wide to get under the skin without tearing. This fillet knife bends with the contour of the fish, so you can run it along the rib cage of a snapper or pull the skin off a salmon side without tearing the flesh. The narrow tip works around pin bones too.

Built to Bend Without Losing the Edge

The blade is 10Cr15CoMoV high-carbon stainless steel at the core, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus and vacuum heat-treated to 60±2 HRC. That hardness matters on a fillet knife: you need to feel each pin bone as the blade moves through, and a soft edge goes numb before the second fish. The narrow profile keeps drag low when you're working between skin and flesh, and it holds its edge through a long session.

Linen Micarta on a Wet Board

Fillet knives end up wetter than any other knife in the kitchen. The linen Micarta handle doesn't absorb moisture or swell, so your grip doesn't change from the first snapper to the last salmon. Full-tang construction runs one bar of steel the full length of the knife, which means there's no soft point at the bolster where fish acid and repeated flex would cause a cheaper handle to work loose over time.
