Lamson Vintage Fillet & Boning Knife

This knife is designed for precision work, specifically filleting fish and deboning poultry. The 6-inch length provides the maneuverability needed to navigate around bones and cartilage without damaging the delicate meat.

The walnut handle is hand-finished and durable, but like any wood-handled knife, it should be hand-washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher to prevent the wood from drying out or cracking over time.

A full tang means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This construction provides superior balance, strength, and stability, ensuring the knife feels solid and controlled in your hand during repetitive cutting tasks.

The blade is tempered to 58 Rockwell, which is a high standard for hardness. This allows it to arrive extremely sharp and retain that edge through significant use, though you will still need to hone it regularly to maintain peak performance.

No, the curved bolster is functional. It is designed to provide a comfortable, secure grip that encourages a proper pinch grip, which gives you better control and leverage when performing detailed filleting or boning work.
