Quick take
A four-inch stainless steel fillet knife with a rust-resistant blade and non-slip handle for processing your catch.
A compact fixed-blade fillet and bait knife with a 4-inch drop-point 5Cr15MoV stainless blade and a serrated back edge for scaling and opening the back of a fish. The PP and TPR handle has a non-slip grip and a lanyard hole, and the black sheath clips to a belt or bag. At about 8.5 inches overall, it suits boat, bank and cleaning-table jobs for anglers who want a simple knife for small to mid-size fish.
