Fillet Knife 7 Inch, Super Sharp Boning Knife in High Carbon Stainless Steel, Professional Japanese Fish Knives for Meat Poultry Cutting

I bought this to actually use to skin and carver up deer. It can be used to carve any type of meat, like filleting fish, chicken, pork, lamb, vegetables, etc. I needed a flexible blade that stays sharp to take the silver off of deer meat but that could also cut tendon and be used to debone and even skin deer to remove the hide. It's been very affective, I may get another to have two. Sometimes getting at the inside and back loins is difficult. A couple is slits with this knife and the loins pull right out. I know not everyone is butchering deer, this is just an example. This is an elegant knife and very sharp. It has an ergonomic comfortable handle, stays sharp, and cleans up easily. The handle can become slick when bloody or fat soaked but is does not stain. Just wipe it off and keep going. Its flex blade really helps get the most meat. It even carves turkey very well. It is designed well and uses carbon steel. Don't put it in the dishwasher. Hand wash it, and then put some olive oil on a paper towel, lightly oil it, and it should never rust. It does not come with a sheath, but the box is thin and designed for the knife so I didn't bother. The price is right! If you need to replace it for any reason, it won't break your bank. I'm sold on it!

This knife is incredibly sharp and precise—perfect for slicing, dicing, and chopping with ease. The blade glides effortlessly through meat, vegetables, and even tougher items. It feels well-balanced and comfortable in hand, making kitchen tasks faster and more enjoyable. A high-quality knife that delivers professional-level performance.

Once you hold this knife and feel the heft, you know it is well made. The blade is sharp out of the box and the knife balances nicely.The test in all the blades is sharpness retention and sharpening; not enough usage to make this determination as of yet.

Nice knife. Used it to take the skin off of salmon filets. Worked well, sharp, nice looking.

Oh my! While being extremely careful, I still managed to cut a finger! This is a sharp knife!I would consider this more a boning knife than a filet knife, due to the stiffness of the blade. Which is exactly what I wanted. Very well made, razor sharp, and well balanced! I needed this to trim beef brisket in particular. I have a number of German and Swiss knives. I’ve found the Japanese carbon steel to be far superior to any of them. I have an eight inch chef’s knife and this boning/filet knife. I’ve been able to find both at more reasonable prices on Amazon, and I am very happy with both knife purchases. I also found a great deal on a blade sharpener/honer, which has sharpened my other knives beautifully! Amazon products are always easy to research! I’ve been extremely happy with my knife orders, especially the quality for the price!I highly recommend this knife!P. S.Amazon also has really good cut resistant gloves! I should have worn them to open the package!

The knife is beautiful and made of one piece of metal with the handle as an add-on, very sharp, at least when new. The only issue that I have with it is that it rusts. The instructions said to use mineral spirits if some rust appears, so I imagine it is expected, but it shows up at my first use

For the prices , heck yes !!! . I have plenty of high end Japanese fillet knives and just want to buy something that I can be rough with and this one live up to my standard . Sharp , well constructed . I end up buying 3 more to give out as gift and the whole set for my vacation hôme .

This is what started my knife buying. I use a fish knife for most everything and mine needed replacing. This one is very well made. Worth every penny, equal in quality to hand made custom orders like at the renaissance fairs grip is good, blade is balanced and heavy should last for years. It is a fish knife ideal size.
