Dexter-Russell Sani Safe Fillet Knife

The 9-inch blade is engineered with a specific thickness and temper using proprietary DEXSTEEL™ high carbon steel, allowing it to bend easily along the contours of a fish. This flexibility is essential for removing skin and bones with minimal waste.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. While the Sani-Safe® handle is designed for high-sanitation environments, we recommend hand washing and drying the blade immediately after use to maintain the integrity of the high carbon steel edge.

NSF certification indicates that the knife meets rigorous standards for public health protection, specifically regarding material safety and cleanability. It confirms that the handle-to-blade seal is impervious to bacteria and that the materials used are safe for professional food contact.

Yes, the handle is designed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations. This makes it suitable for professional kitchens where the knife may be exposed to varying temperatures during prep and sanitation processes.

Because the blade is individually ground and honed from high carbon steel, it is best maintained using a honing steel before each use to keep the edge aligned. For sharpening, use a whetstone or a professional sharpening system to preserve the factory-ground geometry.
