Fillet knives are designed with a narrow, sharp, curved blade. These characteristics make it easier to separate as much meat as possible from the bone with the least amount of waste. The narrow blade has less surface area which reduces the drag as you cut against the meat making cutting fast and easy. Fillet knives can be used on fish, meat and poultry but it not designed to chop through bones.
With a flexible blade, filleting, boning and trimming is made easier. The slight flex in the blade conforms to what you’re cutting - ribs of fish to boning and trimming poultry, for example - to create less waste.
The 7" Flexible Fillet Knife from Shun’s Classic line is simple, beautiful and functional, making it the perfect line for beginners and professionals alike. Shun Classic made the blade of this Flexible Fillet Knife out of AUS8A, a high-carbon stainless steel, because it offers strength, hardness and wear resistance, as well as a small amount of flex.
The Pakkawood used in the handle is saturated with resin to make it moisture resistant, strong and durable. The handle has a D-shape to mirror your palm, ensuring both a secure and comfortable grip.
Basic Knife Care:
*Not dishwasher safe. Wash and dry the blade by hand immediately after use. Use a soft sponge to wash the blade. Do not use abrasive dish scrubbers and powders as they can damage the blade.
Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Never cut on glass, marble, slate, a plate, china or anything harder than steel. Bamboo is not recommended as it is very hard and dulls knives quickly.
Store knives separate from each other in a way that they will not knock into each other.
Use a ceramic honing rod or leather strop for the edge maintenance. Never use a coarse steel sharpening rod or diamond rod. Do not use a wheel sharpener or sharpening tools. Always sharpen by hand on waterstones.
