Overview
The Kershaw 1247X is a fillet knife with a narrow blade, a silver synthetic handle, and an overall length of 12.7 inches with a 7.5 inch size listed for the blade itself.
This model uses a narrower blade profile than the 1242GEX in the same Kershaw fillet line, which suits closer, more precise cuts on smaller fish. The listing's length and size fields point to a 12.7 inch overall knife with roughly a 7.5 inch blade.
- Narrow fillet blade
- 12.7 inch overall length
- 7.5 inch blade size
- Silver synthetic handle
Who it's for
Fits anglers who clean smaller fish and want a narrow blade for precise, close cuts rather than a wide blade for bigger species. Less suited to anyone regularly filleting large fish where a longer, wider blade works faster.
Pros and cons
- Narrow blade suited to precise cuts
- Synthetic handle for wet grip
- Compact 12.7 inch overall length
- Narrow blade is slower on larger fish than a wider fillet knife
Performance notes
A narrow fillet blade flexes more readily along a fish's spine and ribs, which helps with close, precise trimming on smaller catches where a wide blade would remove too much meat. The synthetic handle is built to stay grippy when wet.
