Quick take
A 9.5 inch narrow fillet knife with trailing point blade, designed for cleanly filleting and de-boning large fresh and saltwater fish.
This Kershaw narrow fillet knife has a 9.5-inch 420J2 stainless blade with a trailing point and a plain edge, sized for larger fish like salmon, bass and snapper. The textured co-polymer handle gives a grip when wet, and the included blade protector covers the edge between trips. At about 14.8 inches overall, it suits anglers who clean their own catch.
