Kershaw 9" Clearwater Fish Fillet Knife, Black, 9 Inch Blade

We have a number of these which have used over the years in Alaska to field and fine fillet salmon, including sockeyes in large numbers. The various iterations from Japan and China have proven out in use. They take and hold an nice edge from a worksharp k o grinder or apex sharpener and a few quick strokes of a ceramic hone every few fish is sufficient. Never had a problem with rust with fresh or salt water. The 9" model is just right with appropriate flex and curve for salmon, and the 7" model good for those who prefer it and I like 7" for dolly varden and similar sizes. Usable sheath for storage; never had the need to carry on belt so not tried it. Our first choice for salmon fillet knife, though I suppose you could find better for substantially higher cost.

You simply can't go wrong with Kershaw! Especially at an affordable price like this. This was longer than I expected, but I am glad as it gives plenty of flexibility for larger fish filets like salmon; I can filet the skin off an entire large salmon filet in one pass and this knife does it with ease. It has a nice sheath to boot which is plenty good. This might be a little big to take with you on the trout fishing stream, but it would work. This is a nice blade and comes extremely sharp. As far as holding an edge, I have not used it enough to make it dull, so I can't attest to that. Buy this knife, you will not be disappointed.

Very satisfied with my Kershaw fillet knife. My wife is probably going to steal this from me for daily cooking and carving. The only shortcoming is I would like it to be more flexible for filleting smaller fish. Worked great for 10+ pound snapper but proved difficult and wasteful on 6 lb flounder. Also knife tends to fall out of sheath too easily. The sheath need a snap restraint. On the upside, it sharpens quickly and easily and holds edge for adequate sessions.

The knife came as described. A few passes on a honing steel and it was razor sharp. The handle felt good in my hand and didn't slip even after being covered in fish guys and slime. The blade is the best thing about the knife. It's a very thin blade thickness and is properly heat treated for durability and flexibility. The length of the blade makes it easy to filet and skin larger fish like big Chinook.

This seems to be a great knife for deboning. This knife will fit my needs very well!

This knife is the wickedest-looking tool in my knife drawer. It's also wicked sharp out of the box. Not too fancy looking, but well-balanced with a dependable grip even when wet or greasy. I thought about getting the 7-inch version, which would work just fine for 99 percent of my fileting needs, but for a couple of extra bucks I can brandish this outrageous cutlass and impress the neighbors and the cat. Seriously, it glides right through flank steak and flounder, has the right amount of blade flexibility and curve for me, and is actually fun to use. All for 13 bucks - go figure! Oh, don't cut off your finger.

BUY THIS KNIFE!!! There is no reason to spend 50-$I00 for a fillet knife. bought one of these for filleting Chicken breasts for my restaurant 6 years ago. It is still highly functional but after 6 years of sharping blade size was about 3/4 of original. So I just got another & use the old one as backup. Holds an awesome edge for filleting a 100 breasts at a time. Non slip grip is great. You can't go wrong, KERSHAW BABY!!!

This obviously isn't Kershaws finest, and its actually embarrassing to have the kershaw name attached to it. Nonetheless, for $11, this blade is very nice for the price. Love the aesthetics, nice grip, long blade, but the blade is pretty dull. It was decent in terms of its sharpness, but not what I expect from kershaw. Cutting paper, fine... Cutting meat was decent, but when trying to cut an orange to test sharpness, it FAILED. I know that's not what this knife is for, but if it can't cut an orange, then how will I fillet a fish!?

This is a great product!!! Hard sheath with a loop for belt / hanging Blade is 7 inches long and kindof clips in so you know it is secure and safe. Blade is really sharp and flexible works great

Muy buen cuchillo filetero, ligero, resistente, gran geometría del filo, mango cómodo de tacto agradable (polímero). Ideal para pescado. Funda de plástico. Made un China.

Trabajo en un comedor industrial y este cuchillo me hizo la vida mucho más fácil. Corta pechugas y carne como si fuera mantequilla y los bistecs terminan con una buena presentación y tamaño. La hoja es flexible y resistente.

I filleted literally hundreds of walleye with this knife working as a guide in Northwest Ontario. I highly recommend it too be your choice too. Good price, great grip, quality high!!

Igualito a la foto Excelente cuchillo Tener cuidado al utilizarlo Muy bien afilado Recomendable 100%
