8-Inch Damascus Fillet Knife, Blue Resin Handle
Damascus Steel Fillet Knife - Blue Resin Handle
The hand forged 8-inch Damascus fillet knife is built for preparing fish. The blade is forged Damascus steel with a twist pattern, and it is designed for filleting both freshwater and saltwater fish.
A blade built for one job
A fillet knife needs a long, flexible blade so it can follow bones and delicate areas without tearing the flesh. It has been a favoured tool of fishermen and fish market workers for generations.
Durability and performance
The blade is multiple layers of steel, folded and forged for strength and edge retention. At 8 inches it suits larger fish, with the flex for curved surfaces and the rigidity for controlled cuts.
Handle and grip
The handle is blue resin, a non-porous material that does not absorb water or fish oils, so the grip stays secure when wet. It is fastened to the full-tang blade with silver pins.
Storage
A brown leather sheath with decorative stitching is included. Rinse the blade after saltwater use, dry it fully, and apply a light coat of oil before storage.
