F. Dick ErgoGrip 7-inch Semi-Flexible Fillet Knife

Anglers and fish processors use a fillet knife to take the fillets off the frame with little waste, and this 7-inch ErgoGrip model also loosens skin and pin bones. In meat processing, it removes tendons and skin before portioning.

The long, slender blade curves upward slightly and widens toward the front, which adds surface for a long, pulling cut. Semi-flex lets the edge ride over the rib bones and stay close. The blade moves in a slight wave as it cuts, which helps it follow the contour of the fish.

The 7-inch length suits fish such as trout, walleye and salmon fillets. It is long enough to take the fillet in a few strokes and short enough to control near the head. It also skins the fillet afterward by running the blade flat along the skin.

For longer boning cuts on meat, the ErgoGrip 7-inch semi-flexible boning knife is the closer match. Small fish and gill work suit the 4-inch small fillet knife. Our knife shapes guide compares fillet and boning profiles.

    Tips for Best Results

    A few passes on a steel keep this edge aligned between sharpenings. Hold any consistent angle from 15 to 25 degrees. For a plant or shop, the EuroCut 12-inch Round Regular Cut Steel is our best-selling steel; the Dickoron Micro 12-inch Oval Super Fine Cut Steel gives a finer edge. See our honing steel guide for technique.


    Care

    Wash by hand in warm water with a mild detergent, rinse, and dry the knife before putting it away. Store it in a scabbard, sheath or blade guard so the edge does not knock against other tools.
