Quick take
A 9-inch stainless steel fillet knife designed for removing flesh from bones with minimal waste on fish and game.
This 9-inch fillet knife has a flexible stainless steel blade with a plain edge and a slight upward curve toward the point, suited to working along the bone on fish. It has a forged blade and a wood handle, weighs about 0.15 kg, and comes with a protective sheath for carrying. It also handles boning and trimming of poultry and other meat, so it can serve at the cleaning table or in the kitchen.
