Overview
Not a stiff chef knife, the Classic fillet knife has a bendable blade that skins fish and preps meat. Forged high carbon stainless steel and a POM handle give it the Classic build, and the edge is plain.
A responsive blade slides through salmon and cuts wafer-thin slices, which fits commercial and home fish prep alike. Dimensions are inconsistent across the listing, so blade length needs a check against your needs.
Who it's for
Skinning and slicing fish in a busy kitchen or at home, where a short bendable blade is easy to control. Large fish and heavy meat butchery call for a longer or stiffer blade.
Pros and cons
- Responsive bendable blade
- Thin salmon slices
- Light in the hand
- Short blade for large fish
- Length listed in two units
- Included contents unclear
Performance notes
A thin forged blade flexes under light pressure, so the edge rides along the skin and the bone instead of digging in. Because the plain edge is extremely sharp, a single draw stroke makes the thin slices the description mentions.
