JW SteelCrafts Fillet Knife

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the Damascus steel and the hardwood handles, you should hand wash them with mild soap and dry them immediately after use.

Full tang construction means the metal of the blade extends all the way through the handle. This provides superior balance, strength, and durability, ensuring the blade won't snap or loosen under the pressure of filleting larger fish.

The blades are designed with the specific flexibility required for filleting, allowing them to glide closely along the backbone of the fish to minimize waste. They offer enough give to navigate contours while remaining rigid enough to maintain a clean, precise cut.

Yes, Damascus steel requires a bit of care to prevent corrosion. After hand washing and drying, it is recommended to apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade before storing it in the included leather sheaths.

Absolutely. While the Damascus steel is durable, saltwater is highly corrosive. If you use these knives in a saltwater environment, be extra diligent about rinsing, drying, and oiling the blades immediately after use to prevent rust.
