The handmade construction pairs that blade with an exotic rosewood handle and a steel bolster where the handle meets the steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the fillet knife come with a sheath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a leather sheath is included for storage and for carrying the knife to and from the water. Since leather holds moisture, avoid sheathing the blade while it's still wet from cleaning fish, and let it dry fully first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the handle made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExotic rosewood, with a steel bolster at the point where the handle meets the blade. The knife is custom handmade by Damascus Knife Store rather than machine stamped, which shows in the handle's fit against the bolster and blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the stainless steel blade rust-proof?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Stainless steel holds up to wet fish work better than carbon steel does, but it isn't rust-proof. Rinse off fish slime and salt water, dry the blade and the rosewood handle, and avoid storing the knife away wet in its leather sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a fillet knife used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLifting fillets off the frame, trimming belly fat, and taking the skin off, the core cuts in breaking down a whole fish.
