Overview
Built for processing fish at the dock, in camp, or on the cleaning table, this fillet knife is sized for everything from medium catches to larger tuna. Its medium semi-flexible blade is intended to give more controlled cuts, while the no-slip polymer handle with trigger grip and safety guard is designed for secure handling when conditions get messy. A full tang construction adds a solid feel in use, and the included synthetic sheath makes it easier to carry and store between trips. The non-stick Teflon and titanium-nitride coating rounds out a practical package for anglers who want a dedicated fillet tool without extra bulk.
