Quick take
A 9-inch curved fillet knife with a flexible stainless-steel blade for filleting large fresh and saltwater fish.
This Kershaw fillet knife has a 9-inch curved 420J2 stainless blade with a trailing point, shaped for working along the bones of larger fresh and saltwater fish. The glass-filled nylon handle has a textured rubberized grip for wet hands, and a blade sheath is included. It suits anglers who clean bass, snapper or salmon at the water and want a flexible plain-edge blade.
