Dexter-Russell Dextreme Dual Edge 8-inch Stiff Fillet Knife

A stiff fillet blade is for big, firm fish where a flexible knife bends away from the cut. Dexter-Russell built the Dextreme Dual Edge 8-inch stiff fillet knife to add strength and stability for cutting through larger, tougher fish in freshwater or saltwater.

The stiffness helps when starting a cut behind the collar of a cod or striped bass and when steaking fish across the backbone. It fillets bluefin tuna, swordfish, king mackerel, triggerfish and more. Like the other Dual Edge models, it carries Tiger Edge scallops along the back of the blade for scales and hide, so the lower edge stays fresh for the meat. The ambidextrous DEXGRIP handle comes with a sheath for storage between trips. Dexter rates the knife for both freshwater and saltwater fish.

8-inch or 10-inch Stiff?

The longer 10-inch Dual Edge Stiff reaches across tuna and other large pelagic fish. For a flexible blade at this length, choose the Dextreme Dual Edge 8-inch Flexible Fillet Knife.
