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.
