Wusthof Fillet Knife

Coming in at the best 5/5 rating on Amazon this knife lives up fully to the Wusthof knives reputation.

I AM A NEW JERSEY ANGLER, I FILLET 100 + FISH A MONTH, I FINALLY BIT THE BULLET AND SPENT THE MONEY FOR THIS KNIFE, AFTER YEARS OF CHEAPER KNIVES. I FILLETED 25 SEABASS IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, USUALLY TAKES 20 MINUTES. THIS KNIFE HAS GREAT BALANCE AND IS RAZOR SHARP. ( BE CAREFUL, I NICKED MYSELF, DID’NT EVEN FEEL IT UNTIL THE BLOOD CAME). NO MORE STOPPING TO SHARPEN FOR ME, THE EXTRA COST IS WELL WORTH IT.

It is extemely sharp and being a thin blade also very flexible for working around bone. It is ideal for filleting slices of fish or meat to a delicate thinness if required.

All the reviews reiterate how sharp this knife is and a few carry warnings to wear a filleting glove for safety when using it.

Like all the classic range the Wusthof Fillet Knife is forged from a single piece of high grade steel which is polished and then hand sharpened to an incredible edge.

The single metal piece runs from the tip to the end of the knife handle and the handles themselves are made of very durable polypropylene, held in place by the Classic three rivets. You can take a look at the Wusthof Steak Knives page for a look at another Wusthof Classic handle or the Wusthof Santoku Knife which had a 5 star rating the last time we checked.
