Quick take

A folding 5.5-inch fillet knife with stainless steel blade and non-slip handle for preparing fish in freshwater or salt.

This folding fillet knife pairs a 5.5-inch drop point stainless blade with a handle that locks the blade closed. Folded, it measures about 7.6 inches and weighs 3.5 ounces, so it slips into a tackle box or onto a belt in its fabric sheath. It suits anglers who want a compact fish knife for the boat, the bank or camp.

Best for

  • Processing whole fish quickly after a fishing trip
  • Filleting trout and panfish on shore
  • Anglers who want a portable knife with sheath

Skip if

  • You prefer fixed-blade knives for comfort
  • You only field dress a few fish per season

Strengths

  • Black coating resists rust and corrosion in saltwater
  • Non-slip PP and TPR handle is comfortable and secure
  • Fold design compacts for safe storage and carry

Trade-offs

  • Folding hinge can wear from repeated opening and closing
  • 5Cr15 stainless is not as hard as carbon steel
  • 3.5 oz folded knife is still substantial to carry
