Victorinox Fillet Knife

A semi-flexible blade offers enough give to follow the contours of a fish skeleton closely, minimizing waste, while remaining rigid enough to provide control when slicing through firmer meat. It is the ideal middle ground for those who find fully flexible blades too flimsy and stiff blades too difficult to maneuver.

Yes, the Fibrox handle is designed with ergonomics in mind. It features a textured, non-slip surface that provides a secure grip even when your hands are wet, which is essential for safety and precision during repetitive filleting tasks.

While the knife is NSF certified and dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing it. High-heat dishwasher cycles and harsh detergents can dull the blade edge prematurely and potentially damage the handle material over time.

This steel is specifically formulated to balance edge retention with corrosion resistance. While it holds a sharp edge longer than standard stainless steel, it is still important to dry the blade immediately after washing to keep it in peak condition.

The 7-inch length is versatile enough for most common kitchen tasks, including filleting trout, bass, and smaller salmon. If you are regularly processing very large saltwater fish, you might prefer a longer blade, but for general culinary use, this size provides excellent control.
