Fillet Knives Sharpening by Blade Medic

About Fillet Knives

Fillet knives are indispensable for anyone who frequently prepares fish. These knives are specifically designed for filleting, providing the flexibility and precision needed to remove bones and skin while preserving the delicate flesh of the fish.

Design and Purpose

Fillet knives are characterized by their:

  • Blade Length: Typically ranging from 6 to 11 inches.
  • Blade Shape: A narrow, flexible blade that allows for intricate, precise cuts.
  • Handle: Ergonomically designed to provide a secure, comfortable grip, even when wet.

This design makes the fillet knife ideal for smoothly cutting along the backbone and under the skin, making quick work of even the most delicate fish fillets.

Typical Cutting Edge Angle

The cutting edge angle of a fillet knife is critical for achieving the delicate precision required for filleting fish. Most fillet knives have a blade edge angle between 12 and 17 degrees. This angle provides the sharpness needed for clean, accurate cuts, ensuring minimal waste of fish meat.

Knife Type Edge Angle
Standard Fillet Knife 15 degrees
Flexible Fillet Knife 12 degrees
