F. Dick Premier Plus 8.25-inch Flexible Fillet Knife

Larger fish such as halibut and salmon need a longer fillet blade, and this 8.25-inch Premier Plus knife traces the spine to remove the meat with good yield. It also breaks down a variety of other proteins quickly.

The extra length lets the cook take a fillet off a big fish in fewer strokes, keeping the cut surface smooth. Good balance makes delicate cuts easier, and the gap-free handle stays clean. The edge is long-lasting and easy to hone, and the steel resists rust.

The longer blade also skins a large fillet in a single stroke, which keeps the flesh intact. It handles large pieces of meat as well, such as trimming fat from a brisket. A knife roll keeps the flexible blade protected.

For trout and other smaller fish, the Premier Plus 7-inch flexible fillet knife is more nimble. A whole side of smoked salmon slices best with the 1905 12.5-inch granton salmon slicer. Our knife shapes guide covers fillet knives.
