DESCRIPTION

Reach for this when you're breaking down a whole snapper or skinning a salmon fillet. Run the blade between a fish frame and the flesh and it follows the bone instead of fighting it. A fillet knife needs to flex without wandering, and this one does. The narrow blade bends into the contour of the fish and stays on track instead of fighting you.

Flexible Fish Specialist

The core is 12Cr18MoV high-carbon stainless steel, wrapped in 67 layers of Damascus. Vacuum heat-treated to 58-62 HRC, it holds an edge sharp enough to feel every pin bone while you work. At 334g it's light enough to keep control through a long filleting session without your wrist tiring before the fish does.

Ebony Handle, Full-Tang Build

Ebony is a dense, oily hardwood that stays non-slip even when your hands are wet from fish. The handle tapers cleanly toward the blade, keeping the centre of gravity close to where you're gripping. Full-tang construction means there's no flex point at the bolster where cheaper fillet knives tend to fail under repeated use.
