Overview
A cook who breaks down whole fish gets a forged, flexible blade that loosens the fillet from the skin. The Classic series uses high carbon stainless steel with a POM handle, and the listing describes it for fish, meat and fruit.
The long, thin blade slices thin and follows the skin, which suits salmon and other large fish. The limit is the same flexibility: the listing says boning knives or cleavers are better for coarser meat work.
Who it's for
Preparing fish fillets, trimming meat and peeling fruit with a light touch. Not the tool for cutting through bones or tough joints.
Pros and cons
- Long flexible blade
- Handles fish, meat and fruit
- Not for coarse meat
- No sheath listed
- Plain edge only
Performance notes
The flexible blade bends against the bone and skin line, so the edge follows the surface instead of cutting into it. A long blade lets one stroke run the full length of a fillet, which gives clean slices.
