Quick take
A 7 in flexible fillet knife with a sharp stainless steel blade and comfortable rubber grip.
This is a 7-inch fillet knife with a long, narrow stainless steel blade made from 5Cr15Mov steel. The blade has enough flex to follow the contours of a fish when filleting and skinning. A soft rubber handle gives a grip for wet hands, and a fitted sheath with a drainage groove comes with it. It also handles jobs like cutting bait and trimming tackle around the boat or camp.
Best for
- Filleting trout, crappie and other small to medium fish
- Anglers who catch and keep fish regularly
- Flexible blade work on delicate fish
Skip if
- You need a short blade for hand-sized panfish
- You prefer a rigid fillet knife for large saltwater fish
Strengths
- 5Cr15Mov stainless steel holds an edge and resists corrosion from fish slime and salt
- Curved, flexible blade follows the rib cage and bones for clean, efficient fillets
- Non-slip rubber handle stays grippy even wet and bloody
Trade-offs
- 7 in is long for small fish like bluegill; makes precise work harder
- Flexible blade requires skill to prevent stabs into the blade
- Stainless steel doesn't hold an edge quite as long as high-carbon blades
