Buying Guide: Fillet Knives

What Is A Fillet Knife Used For?

A fillet knife is specifically designed to clean and prepare fish. Its thin, narrow, and flexible blade allows you to:

  • Filleting Fish: This is its primary use. The narrow, curved blade allows for smooth, clean cuts along the spine and rib cage.
  • Removing Skin: The flexibility of the blade helps glide between the skin and meat without tearing or losing meat.
  • Deboning Small Game or Poultry: Great for making detailed cuts around bones in chicken, duck, or even rabbits.
  • Trimming Fat or Silver Skin: On cuts of meat like beef or pork, it works well for delicate trimming tasks.

What Not To Do With A Fillet Knife?

Fillet knives are made for precision, not heavy-duty tasks. Here’s what to avoid:

  • Cutting Through Bones: The thin blade can bend or snap. Use a cleaver or boning knife instead.
  • Chopping Hard Vegetables: Too much pressure can damage the blade.
  • Prying or Digging: Not made for opening oysters or prying frozen meat—this can cause slips or breakage.
  • Cutting Frozen Fish or Meat: Always thaw first. Frozen foods can dull or chip the edge.
  • General Kitchen Tasks: Avoid using it on bread, cheese, or steak to keep the blade sharp and effective.

What Is The Best Steel For A Fillet Knife?

The best fillet knives are made from stainless steel or high-carbon stainless steel, both offering a good balance between sharpness and corrosion resistance.

  • 420HC: A popular stainless steel is known for being tough, easy to sharpen, and rust-resistant. Common in many mid-range knives.
  • 440C: A harder stainless option that holds an edge longer and offers better performance for more frequent use.
  • VG-10: A premium Japanese steel used in high-end knives. Offers excellent edge retention, hardness, and corrosion resistance.
  • German Stainless (like X50CrMoV15): Used by brands like Victorinox and Wüsthof — tough, reliable, and resists pitting or staining.

If you often fish in saltwater or humid environments, stainless steel is essential to prevent rust.

What Is The Best Size For A Fish Fillet Knife?

Most fillet knives come in blade lengths between 6 and 9 inches.

  • 6-inch blade: Best for small fish like perch, crappie, or trout. Offers better control and precision.
  • 7 to 7.5-inch blade: Versatile and works well for medium-sized fish such as bass, walleye, or catfish.
  • 9-inch blade: Designed for larger fish like salmon, pike, or saltwater species. The longer blade lets you glide smoothly through thick fillets.

What Brands Offer Best Fillet Knives?

  • Rapala: Rapala is one of the most trusted names in the fishing world. Their fillet knives are affordable, sharp, and built with comfort in mind.
  • Bubba: Known for their signature red non-slip grip, Bubba knives are a favourite among serious anglers. Their blades are super sharp, corrosion-resistant, and built for tough saltwater environments.
  • Dexter-Russell: Dexter is a go-to for professional fish processors and commercial kitchens. Their fillet knives are ultra-reliable, with high-carbon stainless steel blades and ergonomic handles.
  • Victorinox: The makers of the Swiss Army Knife also know a thing or two about fillet knives. Victorinox models are sharp, well-balanced, and perfect for fine, detailed cuts.
  • American Angler: If you’re looking for electric fillet knives, American Angler is another solid choice. Their Pro Electric Fillet Knife is powerful, with strong torque that makes cutting through big fish easy and smooth.

What Is The Average Price of A Fillet Knife?

Fillet knives come in a wide range of prices, depending on the brand, materials, and features. On average, you can expect to pay:

  • $20 – $40: Budget-friendly knives suitable for casual anglers or light kitchen use. These may use softer stainless steel and basic handles but still get the job done.
  • $40 – $80: Mid-range knives made with better steel, ergonomic handles, and good edge retention. Ideal for regular use and outdoor fish cleaning.
  • $80 – $150+: Premium fillet knives with high-end materials like VG-10 steel, custom handles, or specialized electric options. These are built for serious fishermen and professionals.

Electric fillet knives, especially cordless models, usually cost more, ranging from $80 to $150, depending on battery power and blade quality.
