F. Dick 1905 7-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

Filleting fish cleanly takes a thin blade that bends with the frame, and this 7-inch 1905 knife has one. It lifts fillets in one piece and removes skin and bones, so the fillets come out tidy and whole.

The knife balances well, with a comfortable handle that feels like part of the hand during a long session at the fish board. The thin, flexible blade also trims meat and removes silver skin.

The 7-inch length suits trout and other fish of a size cooked whole or as fillets at home. It fits easily into a knife roll for a trip to the dock. A thin blade also skins fillets cleanly.

For fish such as halibut and salmon, the Premier Plus 8.25-inch flexible fillet knife adds reach. Boning meat and poultry suits the 1905 6-inch flexible boning knife, and pin bones come out with the F. Dick fish bone tweezers. Our knife shapes guide compares fillet and boning knives.
