FAQs

WHAT SPECIES CAN BE CLEANED EXCEPTIONALLY WELL WITH THE 7" BLADE?

A 7" fillet knife blade is perfect for cleaning medium-sized fish such as trout, bass, walleye, catfish, and salmon. It offers the right balance of flexibility and control for smooth, precise filleting.

WHAT MATERIALS USE FOR HANDLES?

HOW LONG CAN I EXPECT THE KNIFE'S EDGE TO REMAIN SHARP?

For a recreational fisherman, you can expect the knife to remain sharp for an entire fishing season, although edge retention depends on the number and type of fish you clean. Cleaning thick-scaled and bony fish will wear the edge down more quickly, while cleaning light-skinned fish will allow the edge to last significantly longer. Our carbon steel holds an edge about 2.5 times longer than traditional stainless steel.

WILL THIS KNIFE RUST?

Damascus Steel Fillet Blades:

Yes, Damascus steel can rust if not cared for properly. Because it’s made with high-carbon steel layers, it holds a razor-sharp edge but is more prone to moisture and humidity. To prevent rust, always dry the blade thoroughly after use, apply a light coat of food-safe oil, and store it in a dry place.

Stainless Steel Fillet Blades:

Stainless steel is more resistant to rust and corrosion compared to Damascus. While it’s less likely to rust, it’s still important to clean and dry the blade after each use to maintain performance and appearance.

👉 Tip: No knife is 100% rust-proof—proper care and maintenance will keep your fillet knife sharp, clean, and long-lasting.

HOW DO I SHARPEN THIS KNIFE?

To sharpen a fillet knife, follow these steps:

  1. Use a sharpening stone or rod – Hold the knife at a 15–20° angle against the stone or ceramic rod.
  2. Work from heel to tip – Draw the blade smoothly across the surface, keeping steady pressure.
  3. Alternate sides – Repeat evenly on both sides to maintain balance.
  4. Hone the edge – Use a honing rod to realign the edge for extra sharpness.
  5. Test the sharpness – Slice through paper or gently across fish skin to check.

Tip: Since fillet knives are thin and flexible, avoid pressing too hard—gentle strokes keep the blade sharp and precise.
