Dexter-Russell Dextreme 6-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

Bluegill, perch, crappie and small trout leave little room for error, and a long fillet knife is clumsy on them. The Dextreme 6-inch flexible fillet knife is the shortest in Dexter-Russell’s Dextreme line, with one plain fillet edge and a flexible blade that tracks the small rib cage of a panfish closely.

Dexter designed the Dextreme series for anglers, and it shows in the details. Its DEXGRIP handle works in either hand and holds firm when wet. The included sheath lets it go straight into a tackle box. Dexter rates it for freshwater and saltwater fish, and its short length is handy for anglers who clean their catch at the lake or through the ice.

Choosing a Dextreme Fillet Knife

For more flex and larger fish, the Dextreme 7-inch Max Flex Fillet Knife bends further. To scale and fillet with one tool, the Dextreme Dual Edge 7-inch Flexible Fillet Knife adds a Tiger Edge on the spine.
